Tutoring Experience

My story:
Oxford as a city fascinated me; I met a number of parents with backgrounds in education who were looking for new teaching approaches because conventional schooling wasn't working for their child. Education seemed far more explorative than where I grew up in Surrey, and parents were open-minded to alternatives, from homeschooling and private tutoring to Reggio and Steiner schools. I had been tutoring alongside my studies since I left school, and although I was captivated by innovative teaching methods, I wanted to teach in state schools for a few years to gain more traditional teaching experience.

After two years of teaching at one school in Oxford and one in London, I couldn't escape the overcrowded feeling of schools; I had over 200 students at times and not nearly enough hours in the day to give my undivided attention to all of them. So, when I moved to work at another school in London, I asked to teach smaller groups of students who needed extra support in English in addition to my usual GCSE and A-level teaching. The idea was that these KS3 students would receive English lessons in groups of 6:1 for one year to give them the confidence and tools to rejoin and excel in larger groups. These classes quickly became the hours I looked forward to most. My students thrived in the calmness of the class, and after a total of four years in schools, I decided I wanted to dedicate all of my time to private tutoring.

Tutoring Approach

As a tutor, I develop my students' confidence in the classroom, provide a calm and safe learning environment which welcomes parents, and inspire my students to 'think outside the box' in day-to-day life, as well as in exams.
