Information about Lorna

I am an experienced teacher of Humanities and work at a local secondary school part time. I am venturing into private tutoring for the first time.
As a mother of 3 school age children I understand the need to support and inspire children so that they have the confidence to give their best. All too often I encounter children whose main barrier to learning is a lack of confidence and low self esteem.
I pride myself on treating all children as individuals and strive to stimulate enthusiasm and a passion for learning. I am very excited about the prospect of working one to one. I frequently use creative and active learning strategies and have a reputation for delivering fun and interesting classroom lessons. I work hard to tailor each lesson as all classes/individuals are different. I also work hard to build confidence and trust with my students and often feel that they are part of the family after a few months working with them. Observers always comment on the friendly but respectful atmosphere in my lessons. I simply love my job!!.
My work as an Examiner gives me an insight into what the exam boards are looking for at GCSE. My students perform well in their examinations.

Availability: Term time only. Wednesday and Friday evenings 6-8 pm.
Saturday mornings 10-12.

Willing to travel: Home Only

Experience: Qualified and practising teacher of Humanities including literacy skills to Key Stages 3 and 4. PCGE second subject qualification in English.

10 years teaching experience. For the last 4 years I have been based in a Cheltenham Secondary School teaching Geography and History. I am also qualified to teach English as an additional subject.
