I enjoy imparting knowledge into others and enriching and enlightening young minds. I want to act as the springboard in propelling children and adolescents into higher education and to generally instil a life-long passion for learning. I want to be the key to unlocking things: these lightbulb and eureka moments will hopefully be the catalyst for subsequent independent learning. I am an empathetic and well-rounded individual with plenty of experience working in schools and tuition centres and thereby am fully aware of the relevant safeguarding procedures that are axiomatic to working with young people - I have a fully up-to-date enhanced DBS certificate. I also have an extensive background in neurodiversity and understand the nuances of these neurological differences that will enable me to devise specific interventions designed to get the best out of these students.

About Me
Fun, empathetic, personable, approachable, affable.
I break-down abstract concepts by recourse to relatable analogies. This can often be the gateway to acquiring that initial understanding which we can then build upon.
I also try to give my students the basic tools before overwhelming them with any technical or jargon terms, ensuring that the topic is accessible from the outset.
I liaise with both the parent and the child beforehand so that I can tailor my lessons to match what the child is currently doing in school.
Above all, I am patient and I fully understand that we all have different strengths, weaknesses and interests. I have an extensive background in neurodiversity as well as lot of hands-on SEN experience, so I will be able to tailor lessons accordingly.

I have been tutoring since September and have thoroughly enjoyed helping my KS2 students in working on their English skills in preparation for both SATS and 11+. Following achieving my GCSE results, I now feel more prepared to move onto a larger range of subjects.

I am passionate about helping students to do the best that they can and to reach their potential. It is hugely rewarding to see progress being made.

I achieved 10 GCSE grades, with a grade 9 in English Literature, Language, History and Religious Studies, a grade 8 in Geography and an average grade of 7.5 across the board. All my grades were the equivalent of A* to B, the majority being A* and A equivalent.

I believe that the best way to teach is through gathering and creating a large range of resources to ensure that all necessary content is being covered and that content is being accessed through a variety of mediums that will allow for it to be learnt and understood quickly.

Furthermore, at this level, working with examination questions is essential. It is vital that students familiarise themselves with mark schemes and I will make sure to teach students how questions are marked, ensuring that the right structures are used too.

Communication with parents is also key and I would deliver this through weekly or bi-weekly bulletins for groups and parent emails and phone calls too.

Finally, I would focus on revision methods and make sure that you have access to a range of strategies that will make your learning experience more enjoyable, engaging and successful.

Message me for a discussion and so I can confirm availability and offer more realistic, updated time slots.
