Spotlight on... Angela Cooper

This week we meet Angela Cooper, Teaching Fellow at the UCL Centre for Languages & International Education. Here, Angela - who recently won the Student Choice Award for Excellent Personal Tutoring - chats to us about running an eight-week summer course for students. What is your role and what does it involve?  . I'm a Teaching Fellow at the UCL Centre for Languages & International Education (CLIE), and I teach Academic Reading and Writing to students on the Undergraduate Preparatory Certificate (UPC), UCL's International Foundation course. I have about 14 personal tutees over the year who I meet every week to monitor their studies, assist with UCAS applications, give advice on their research projects and life in general in London. At the same time, I am in charge of Thesis Writing Option B, which offers one-hour personal tutorials to help PhD students across all UCL departments with the overall structure, organisation, academic conventions and grammatical accuracy of their theses. I also organise and teach the eight-week online summer preparation course for potential LNAT (National Admissions Test in Law) students and then teach these students in a UPC class every week in Term 1.
