At SOAS, I have worked as a tutor, assisting with the teaching of Critical Reasoning in Contemporary Development Studies at the undergraduate level and Gender and Development at the postgraduate level.

I enjoy building rapport with students as well as the process of eliciting understanding of difficult concepts, and have received consistently excellent feedback from students and under peer observation. The following are examples of anonymous student feedback:

“The tutorials from Matt Juden were very well organized, everyone gets the opportunity to talk and the discussions were very interesting.”

“Matt Juden my tutorial leader was very good, approachable, informed and engaging.”

I also spent three years teaching English as a foreign language to students of all ages and backgrounds, individually and in groups of all sizes at universities and private language schools in Egypt, France and Germany.

At the Université de Rennes I convened and examined courses in English for academic purposes for classes of students of different disciplines at masters and undergraduate level over a full academic year. At Wall Street Institute Rennes (now Rennes Language Center) I was acting teaching manager, designing pedagogical strategies for students and scheduling teachers.
