Amrit Singh

Bachelor of Science with Honours - Computer Science with Year Abroad

2018 - 2022

Queen Mary University of London, UK

University is no ride in the park. Therefore, I am proud to say that I was not only able to do well but thrive at university. I'm very good at meeting deadlines, thinking on my feet and facing changes that I have never seen before head-on. University was also an outlet for me to meet new people and try new things that I otherwise wouldn't be able to. My university transcript is available here.

Year Abroad

2021 - 2022

Seoul National University, Seoul, South Korea

I spent the better part of the year studying, exploring and living in South Korea. This was all due to my home university allowing me to participate in a student exchange program at SNU(Seoul National University). This opportunity was the first time I was away from home for an extended period of time and quite honestly, it was a life-changing experience. I have countless stories and anecdotes from my time in Korea that I will never forget and would love to talk about.

A-Levels & GCSE's

2011 - 2018

Greenford High School, London

Although less relevant now, my A-Levels and GCSE's are a good way to see that I have always taken my work seriously. At A-Level's I achieved A*AB. I must say I was slightly disappointed with the B but this still isn't a bad grade. (Also achieved an A at AS level for Computer Science) In high school, I attained 13 GCSE's A*-C. One may say, I've always been the "Work hard, Play hard" type of person.

OTHERS

I also have two BTEC Level 2 Diplomas in "Aviation Studies" and "Teamwork and Personal Development". These were achieved in the Air Cadet Forces.

Teaching

I have had many teaching opportunities that I have always taken. This started at 6-forum when I became a teaching assistant to my math teachers for their GCSE classes. I then carried on to tutor Maths and Computer Science online using a site called "My Tutor". I also jumped at the opportunity to become a TA(Teaching Assistant)/demonstrator for the modules I had done at University. These modules include: Procedural Programming, Object Orientated Programming, Fundamentals of Web Technology, Software Engineering projects and Database Systems.

The reason I started and enjoy teaching was due to one little quote my A-Level maths teacher told me: "The best way to learn is to teach".
