Kate (Tutor)

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

For the last eight years I have worked as an Educational Project Manager and self employed Tutor and am very comfortable teaching children and adults of all ages. Through my teaching work across the UK and Africa, I have learnt to communicate excellently with a wide range of people from different backgrounds and communities. I am passionate about teaching; discovering learning methods which suit an individual is something I find extremely fulfilling.

I believe that approaches to teaching need to be varied according to the needs of the individual. I am a patient, understanding and creative teacher who actively tries to engage pupils in the subject rather than completing work in a rigid way that can cause resistance. I am flexible, highly organised and am skilled at motivating students and building confidence and ability.

Availability: Teach weekdays/evenings, some weekend availability.

Willing to travel: 10 miles

Experience: Teaching programmes devised have included work on the Shakespearean canon, the Victorian Gothic, Romantic Poetry, and I also have experience teaching Literature and Gender both in the UK and Uganda. I'm very passionate about English Literature and enjoy encouraging analytical study and reflection. I'm experienced in teaching Music; I held an adult class at the London School of Performance Art, where I also taught Vocal Studies and classical piano. I'm very comfortable teaching basic English, or English Literature from Primary to Degree level and have worked on the delivery of a number of teaching programs for leading theatre companies as well as working in schools across the Midlands and UK.
