Tutoring Experience

I have experience with all the major exam boards (AQA, Edexcel, OCR and Eduqas). Within tuition, my specialities lie in Key Stage 3 (Years 7-9) and GCSE. I also prepare students for the 11+ entrance exams and the year 6 SATs. I also work with schooled students (& those taking the IGCSE), students taking retakes and private candidates (students not at sixth-form/college, but still registered for courses and taking exams). My experience also includes working with children with learning difficulties and SEN-Special Educational Needs (especially Autism, ADHD, dyslexia, dyscalculia and Aspergers).

In 2022 I completed my Diploma in Teaching English as a Foreign Language and teach ESL, preparing students for exams such as IELTS and any English exams aligned with the CEFR which are commonly required for entry into international schools or university applications from overseas / non-English speaking countries. I also speak Spanish at CEFR A2 level.

Tutoring Approach

I strongly believe that a tutor must get a response from the student, which demonstrates understanding (not just relying on a "yes" reply to a question) and I do this in a friendly and interactive manner which gets the best from my students. I recognize thаt every student is different and try tо teаch them in wаys suitаble tо their needs and learning style. Each child has a particular learning style; and particular way of learning which they like best. Some kids respond well to listening while others respond well to reading. Some like to get hands on while some like to write. These difference greatly affect a students ability to learn. The fact is that schools do not take this into consideration and just teach in one way, a one size fits all technique. This does not work as some of the kids will not respond. There is a great deal of psychological and scientific research that backs this up. By asking questions, observing and interacting with a student, I can diagnose what will work best for an individual and am experienced in developing and deploying techniques for the auditory, kinaesthetic and visual learners.
