Member of Cambridgeshire
County Youth Orchestra,
with whom I toured Scotland

12. and played at the Edinburgh
Fringe Festival.
To further my interest in
Music and Eastern European
culture, I decided to live in
Daugavpils, a primarily
Russian-speaking city, in
Latvia for 6 months. It has
given me a unique
opportunity to manage every
area of my life from time
management, organisation,
and other motivational skills
and given me a maturity,
which I believe I would not
have acquired had I pursued
a convention education.
I enjoy travelling and have
travelled extensively around
Britain, Spain and Eastern
Europe including Russia and
Poland. I always try to come
away from a new place with
a small part of its culture in
my heart. Things stir me and
I like to express my creative
side in writing. I have
enjoyed writing short stories
and dioramas from an early
age, and travel certainly has
made the stories more
interesting!
Photography is my journal.
Photographs chart my life
and after taking a short
course in photography, I was
able to develop my own
photos and capture the
precise point of my interest
in a more focused way.
To prepare for my Latvian
Studies, and raise capital, I
worked for many families in
my community, one of which

13. was actually an aupair agent.
I looked after her son, aged 4
for 5 afternoons a week for 6
months. I had to do various
duties, including feeding,
bathing and bedtime routines
and be aware of his needs in
sole charge for about 4 hours
a day. I gained valuable
insight during this time,
again, an experience I could
not have gained had I been
educated within the school
system. I continue to be on
good terms with the family,
and babysat regularly until I
left for Latvia.
Following my time in Latvia,
I spent three months in
Moscow. There I worked for
an English speaking nursery
school. This was an
invaluable experience which
I enjoyed very much. It gave
me the incentive to pursue
teaching English further.
I began pursuing this project
by taking a TEFL course. It
has given me the extra skills
I need to successfully work
with foreign students from
any nationality. My
experiences during travelling
and knowledge of Russian
have been extremely
advantageous in this regard.
During the summer of ‘06 I
was employed by EF in
Cambridge, working for their
Junior Summer School. I
originally asked to sit in on
some lessons to observe
teaching methods, and as a
result of my discussions with
the Studies Coordinator, I

14. was immediately offered a
job and asked to teach a
group whilst their regular
teacher was absent! I gained
invaluable skills during this
week, furthering my interest
into one of solid conviction. I
taught for approximately
three hours per day to
students of all nationalities
aged between 13 and 17.
Following the success of that
week, EF invited me to join
the team as a group leader for
a group of 25 pupils during
their visit. I thoroughly
enjoyed organising
entertainment and excursions
for the group. I feel I was
able to provide an interesting
and fun range of activities for
the students whilst ensuring
that all needs and interests
were met.
I developed my skills
through hands on training,
and observed the day to day
running of a successful
business, which has only
encouraged me to continue in
this field.
