TMDSAS: How do I write a description of a teaching assistant without sounding corny? ESL, so I struggle with articulating my words

[Wildestdreams25]

Here is my draft, any suggestions are appreciated :

I assisted 34 pre-health students with their psychology coursework. I also provided additional support to struggling students who are non-native English speakers. In addition to helping students improve their grades, I also gained insight into the fruits of flexibility in my leadership qualities.

Teaching assistant for 34 pre-health students in [insert course title]. Provided support to struggling students particularly non-native English speakers. Gained communication skills as I worked with diverse learners.

It doesn't need to be fancy. We know what TAs do. Throwing in the work with non-native speakers of English is not typical but is interesting. I would like to see the course title rather than "their psychology coursework".

I would try to fit number of ESL students in the description.

It sounds like your ESL work is in addition to your duties as a psych TA. Is this right?

Yeah correct. Should I say something along the lines of "In addition to my duties as a TA to 34 students, I provided extra support to 8 students who were non-native English speakers"?

That's good.
