Teaching Experience

The best way to help someone else achieve academic results is by understanding the way they work. By understand how someone learns, the tutor can use teaching methods that reflect the tutees own system of learning. This allows the tutor to encourage their strengths and overcome any weaknesses. This helps the efficiency of learning and develops a consistent method of studying that can be applied in different circumstances throughout their academic career. I believe this way of teaching really helps the student find their own academic voice and confidence that will guide them through their studies. An enthusiastic approach is always applied to inspire interest and academic curiosity in the student.

Biography

I am currently tutoring full-time before starting a training contract at a law firm in September 2020. This means I have a flexible timetable and can dedicate my time to tutoring. I have experience teaching English both in a school and tutoring a private family. I have experience and am confident in tutoring up to A-level standard. Having worked with children of many ages, I understand the different approaches needed. I am an enthusiastic learner and enjoy inspiring other people in the same way.

Annalisa tutored my son, Oscar, in the summer of 2018, specifically helping him with his A-level Geography coursework. Annalisa came to your house throughout the summer to help Oscar wit hthe research, structure and writing of his coursework – a novel project for his. Annalisa worked to encourage Oscar’s personal development of research and essay writing skills, which he can transfer into other subjects, and develop his confidence in independent work. Annalisa was a prompt, organised and effective tutor that I would happily recommend to anyone seeking academic support, and who I plan to use again in the future.
