English Literature and Language + History for 5-16 year olds
From 19 £ /h
All of my lessons are specifically tailored to the student, what this intends to achieve is a specific course of learning, whether that be through writing practice essays, playing educational online games, writing, and creating flashcards to help remember information, mind maps, etc. If they decide they would like to work on something specific I am very flexible and would be happy to teach!
The typical length of my lesson is 60 minutes, the first 10 minutes are to ensure the student is feeling good and ready to learn, as well as to address any marking or specific questions that the student may have about the work given or school material. The second phase of my teaching includes a quick-fire round, by which I aim to engage the student by firing a few questions in order to recall key facts/takeaways from the previous lesson. After this consolidation, I build upon the previous lesson by extending the topic or leading into the next subject. Depending on the student’s ability and focus, I will either choose for them to complete a short piece of work independently or step-by-step with me (they are of course allowed to ask for help whenever!). Finally, we assess the work, tackle any other problems or questions, and then finish with a game or short educational clip. The student may be given additional homework if I feel the material was misunderstood or could be improved upon.
I have experience working as a teaching assistant in primary schools from early years to year 6, my work included: organising lesson plans; teaching one-to-one and in bigger groups; administrative duties, and supporting the emotional and social needs of the student. I have only had a few students privately as I would balance them on par with my own education, however, I found this difficult to maintain due to the pandemic, therefore I have more experience with primary school years, but I can cater up to GCSEs.

About Me
My name is Jadie I am a young academic studying English literature and Psychology, I aim to make young people enthusiastic about learning. I remember at school feeling as though I was not good at very many subjects and because of this I did not try, it was the dedication and push of one teacher, Ms. Alexander, that eventually propelled me into getting into the University of Saint Andrews. I want to be your Ms. Alexander and teach in order to reignite the passion for learning!
You may not know this yet, but knowledge is power, I want my students to learn and understand whatever they find interest in, and I will push them to pursue it. I want my students to have a sense of curiosity and simultaneously ask questions and come to their own conclusions.
