Teaching Experience

I believe that the most important consideration for academic success is catering the learning experience to each child’s individual strengths and weaknesses. As a tutor, I embrace each student’s individuality and their particular learning style and tailor my methods to ensure that they are able to achieve the best possible results. This also helps to illuminate any areas that need more work, so we are able to tackle them head on. I have previously carried out student assessments in a variety of subjects, so I am confident in my ability to evaluate what level each student is at and structure my lessons accordingly. Having also worked as a full-time nanny I know how different every child is and I hope to act as a mentor for my students, helping them gain confidence both in and out of the classroom. I have found that the best results are achieved with a combination of hard work, perseverance, enthusiasm and a bit of creativity. I aim to help my students gain great results whilst also instilling lasting determination and a love and passion for learning in them to carry into later life.

Biography

I am currently studying for a master’s in journalism at City, University of London, which means that I have a flexible schedule that allows me to commit fully to my students and my requirements as a tutor. I am confident in teaching a number of subjects up to A Level, and I especially enjoy teaching English literature and writing and seeing each child’s individual voice develop. My own school and university experiences sparked an enduring enthusiasm and love for learning, and I aim to instil this attitude in my students.

Teaching Experience

I am a firm believer that the key to academic success is different for every student; there are no set boundaries or  teaching methods which apply to every child. Therefore, I strive to help each one of my pupils find an approach to learning that is tailored to them as an individual in order to attain the best results possible. Through my teaching I aim to build a solid foundation on which I can work on increasing the self-confidence of my students in order to invigorate their approach to all aspects of the academic curriculum. My ultimate goal as a tutor is to illuminate the strengths of my tutees and, most importantly, to encourage them to approach their weaknesses with fearless determination rather than the worry of ‘getting it wrong’. By adopting this attitude, I am positive that any weakness will be improved in no time! At school and university, I found that the most rewarding results are achieved when one applies oneself to the task at hand with enthusiasm, a level head and hard-work – a philosophy which I hope my pupils, like me, will come to carry with them both in and out of the classroom.

Biography

I am a professional tutor alongside working as an actor while living in London. The nature of my work enables me to have a flexible schedule in which I am able to commit myself wholeheartedly to my time as a tutor. I am confident in teaching a number of subjects to GCSE and A Level and from my own experience, feel capable in teaching children with dyslexia. I enjoy having the opportunity to provide a supportive role for my students as we work together to spark an enthusiasm and thirst for knowledge!
