Purva

I`m currently pursuing my master`s in Developmental Psychology and Psychopathology at King`s College London. I completed my graduation in Applied Psychology with Honours with a first-class grade. I graduated from school with a CGPA of 9.2.
As far as my experience is concerned, I started working with children in 12th grade. After graduating from school, I interned with an organization for children with special needs, where I worked as a teaching assistant.
From there on, I have had several experiences working with children throughout my graduation.
I`ve found all of these experiences to be really gratifying and life-changing. The course I`m pursuing also deals with children and their mental health.
I have maintained a consistent academic record throughout my schooling years and undergraduate degree.

Availability: I am available at least 3 times a week but this can change according to the week.
