Professional Experience

	I oversaw the Computer Clubhouse at MHLS for five weeks while the regular tutor was overseas. This job included acting as a tutor to up to 20 children at a time, doing administrative work including enrolling students and liaising with parents and other staff members (including administrative and teaching staff). I made the operation of the Clubhouse much more formalised by increasing the amount of multimedia projects being produced by the students and only allowing the students to play games for a restricted amount of time. I introduced the students to many new software packages, including Macromedia Studio and Adobe Photoshop and increased their knowledge of Microsoft Office programs.
