Geraldine (Tutor)

 English (ks3, gcse, degree, adult-learner, a-level)

I am a fully qualified and experienced English teacher and examiner. I can offer outstanding subject knowledge, and several years one-to-one mentoring experience of students who have been underachieving within Sefton schools. I am currently employed as a one-to-one English tutor at Savio Salesian College, Netherton. In December 2011, I was awarded a Training and Development Agency scholarship. This government funding sponsors a range of cutting-edge professional development in English during 2012. Thus, clients can rest assured that they can benefit from the very latest approaches to teaching English. In addition, I have been undertaking a part-time PhD in English Literature in recent years.
I take a pupil-centred approach to my teaching, and incorporate strong elements of self-assessment as I believe that students learn best when feeling empowered. Where possible, I incorporate sessions around a student`s interests. I am personable and honest with a keen sense of humour, a great asset in teaching!
