Experience: Tutoring experience:

• Successfully provided one-to-one tuition to students, communicating their progress to family members involved.
• Plethora of experience in working with learners from diverse socio-economic, cultural and ethnic backgrounds, both younger and mature students between the ages of 6-50.
• Supported postgraduate and PhD level students whose first language was not English, restoring their confidence to achieve their academic targets by providing tailored support.
• Previously worked in a primary school setting with children supporting them with key literacy reading and writing skills.

Most notable achievements:

• Helped a male high school student jump two grades in English despite the school teachers declaring that they had “given up on him” and deemed as “too laid back in his approach”. His parents were extremely pleased with his academic progress in such a short space of time. This meant that he was able to progress on to university to do the course that he wanted to do (Physics and Mathematics).
• Delivered successful one-to-one sessions to actresses for a CITV series called So Awkward between their filming schedule, ensuring they were academically supported so that they did not fall behind their curriculum requirements as they were unable to attend class.
• Transformed withdrawn and socially reserved children to embrace literacy and English writing skills and reading comprehension. Previous children have blossomed in their confidence and it was such a rewarding blessing to see some of the children I taught proceed to receive “Student of the Year” awards and gain acceptance at the High School or college of their choice - outcomes of my one-to-one interventions which I am very proud of!

My aim is to maximise students` confidence in their own abilities and to help them gain academic independence.

Tutoring approach:

I am very friendly and non-judgemental regardless of a student’s socio-economic or cultural background. I believe being positive, uplifting and encouraging is the way forward in learning, because learning is a process and it should be fun and enjoyable. I strive to work collaboratively with students and would never belittle their viewpoints and opinion, as open, mutual communication and respect, honesty and transparency reflect my personal values. I strongly believe that hard work, perseverance and determination will get a person through all types of learning obstacles. If I was your tutor, I would ensure to bring out the best in you by being accommodating and taking into account your individual learning style and abilities.
