Neil
Laboratory DemonstratorMarina illustrated a flair for teaching and engaging with the students and showed good communication skills in working with the group of students she was responsible for in over 12 laboratory sessions. This work helps confirm her motivations and interest in teaching physics. I always found Marina to be enthusiastic, pleasant, diligent in her work, punctual and reliable. She has always showed good initiative and excellent ability to work well in a group and also works well independently.
