Don Joseph Richard Wijendra

My teaching and education-related experience is mainly through mentoring, peer support, and academic leadership roles rather than formal classroom teaching. I have worked as an Academic Mentor for GCSE students, delivering one-to-one tutoring in Mathematics and Science, creating tailored learning strategies, and helping students improve both performance and confidence.

I also served as a Maths Prefect in sixth form, where I ran weekly study sessions, supported peers, created revision materials, and worked closely with teachers to improve engagement and achievement in mathematics.

At university, I acted as a Project Leader in group projects, coordinating teams, applying analytical tools, and presenting findings—skills directly transferable to supporting learning in classroom and academic project settings. In addition, through volunteer work with a heritage charity, I currently support the development of educational programs for disadvantaged children, contributing to their academic and personal growth.
