It has been a lovely and educational experience.
I have a meeting once a week ad work with 10 other tutors. However tutorial sessions are taken with one tutor and about 20 students twice a week. I really enjoy engaging with the students and being able to help them see things differently. I have learnt to be more patient as people's understanding of various topics can differ and may take longer with each person. The most challenging aspect is the marking of scripts.
Pros: The students engage and many have improved their marks greatly.
Cons: There is quite a bit of marking

Excellent learning curve
I have laboratory experience in chemistry both in the field and in research settings as a Laboratory Technical Officer. In laboratory work, prepare practices for undergraduate students. This experience gave me the opportunity to work independently and close to my colleagues and helped me to learn the value of good laboratory practice. I also worked as a Chemical Store Manager doing verification of stores, perform chemical inventory, making orders, assist people with chemicals. Through my career experience, I have been able to accumulate the type of skills that are essential to be involved in a Technical department or environment.
Pros: Great opportunity for development
Cons: Flexible working hours

Good entry level to get some work experience
It is a good start for an entry level position, though as time goes a person needs to grow. It is a busy environment, especially end of the year year when it's budget time. A very nice place to in. Working with financial spreadsheet, software licensing payments and the financial reports to the Director has helped me to find strength of my financial background.
Pros: Great experience for a start
Cons: No promotions
