Fouzia Ahmed

I am a hardworking, confident, enthusiastic and self-motivated person and I have the ability to work within a team or on my own. I understand the need to carry out tasks effectively and efficiently. I am committed to lifelong learning.

I have worked at several teaching institutions, including as a Montessori teacher in Pakistan. Since arriving in the UK, I have also completed a Teaching Assistant course and worked in that capacity at a primary school. Following the completion of the course of training I worked as a Midday Assistant at primary and secondary schools.

I have provided interpreting assistance to family and friends at various settings, for many years in an informal basis. Recently I completed a course of education as a Community Interpreter, to gain formal qualifications, to enable me to provide a service to the wider community.
