Maths and English tutoring for school children up to GCSE level, offered by an LSE Masters StudentTranslate this text using Google Translate.

I achieved 9s at GCSE in Maths, English Language, and English Literature. I also took Maths and English at A-level, and achieved A*s. I have tutored GCSE students in these subjects in the past, and I taught English to students in Burkina Faso. I also currently volunteer with children aged 11-15 at a charity called the 'Ministry of Stories' to develop children's writing abilities. On a personal level, as someone who was relatively recently in senior school (I am in my early 20s), and with two younger brothers who are at GCSE and A-level respectively, I want to use my up-to-date knowledge of the education system to help young people do well! I adapt all lessons plans to the student’s individual needs. Upon first meeting a student/their parent, we discuss the aims they want to achieve within the number of agreed lessons; e.g. whether there is a particular topic they wish to focus on, or if they would like to practise the subject more broadly. I formulate a potential lesson plan which I email to the student/their parent. After receiving feedback and comments, we agree on a final plan together. This is the approach I used in past tutoring jobs, and I have found it to be very successful. Due to my past tutoring experience with GCSE students, I am familiar with the current GCSE curriculum for Maths and English, for the AQA, Edexcel, and OCR exam boards. I use a combination of textbooks, extra material issued by the exam board, and past papers to teach students. I mark all their work according to the marking criteria issued by the exam board. I am also happy to go over a student’s class notes with them, if they are struggling to understand what the teacher has said. According to the student/parent preferences, I can set homework, which I mark before lessons and explain to the student during the lesson. In my approach to Maths, I aim to ensure the student fully understands the rationale of each mathematical step, rather than merely memorising the solutions to answers without understanding the logic behind them. During English classes, I will discuss texts and practise exercises with students orally and mark their written work, Also, I use my own tasks to improve students’ writing and analysis. For example, if students are often getting ‘stuck’ when faced with a text for the first time, I practise a list of key ‘trigger questions’ with them. (For instance: what is your instinctive emotional response to this text? Are there any specific sentences you think trigger this reaction in you? From the list of classic techniques authors use, like similes, extended metaphors, hyperbole, and oxymorons, are any used here? What is their effect? Are any of the themes we have identified in the rest of the book here?) To improve the students' writing abilities, I use techniques like encouraging students to produce ‘essay plans’ for me during lessons. They bullet point their ideas within ten minutes, and then we mark them together. This improves students’ structure, as they can more easily see the overall cohesion of their argument than if they were to write it out in full. It also helps students practise thinking on their feet. These are just two examples of techniques I use. Like lesson plans, I adapt the technique to the student, depending on what works best for them.

Private Vinyasa Yoga personalized to your pace and needsTranslate this text using Google Translate.

I’m a self-employed yoga teacher freshly installed in London. I teach vinyasa yoga as slow or fast paced as you need, with a strong focus on intertwining the rich yoga philosophy with the physical practice. I trained as a Vinyasa Yoga Teacher in San Francisco at Laughing Lotus (now renamed Lotusland Yoga) with Jasmine Tarkeshi and Brima Jah. This teacher training was life changing for me, and as I soaked in Jasmine & Brima’s knowledge, kindness and values, I strengthened my own yoga practice and developed my own way of sharing yoga with others. My approach to teaching can be summarized in three major commitments: - honouring yoga’s roots: I use both sanskrit and english names for asanas, I’m passionate about yoga mythology and love sharing the stories behind my favorite shapes - offering teachings that represent the whole yoga philosophy: yoga is so much more than a workout, my classes always have an intention to them, they tend to be focused on one or two of the chakras and include at least another of the eight limbs (pranayama, one of the yamas or niyamas, meditation...) - making my classes accessible to various communities and identities: yoga is for all! I offer many options in every asana to make them accessible to all bodies, I always encourage practitioners to rest as needed and follow their own pace, and I avoid using gendered cues that are inherently exclusive. I’ve lived in many places and I've worked as a medical imaging software engineer for six years. A year ago, I quit my job and spent a sabbatical year with my partner, traveling Europe in our van. This year-long journey taught me so much and reinforced my confidence that I want yoga to be a major part of my life (both professional and personal). So as we settle into our new home in London, I’m taking this opportunity to focus on my career as a yoga teacher.
