What I really enjoy: Opportunity to Teach • Tutoring experience – learning through teaching • Mentoring system University Student Support System: • International Office – VISA application; • One-off academic development support (academic writing, transferable skills/employability, etc); • English language; Cultural experience: • Use of inclusive language; • Diverse ideologies; • Autonomous/critical learning; • Amazing historical heritage and cultural events Edinburgh/Edinburgh University has to offer;
