English (ks3, gcse, degree, adult-learner, a-level)
My name is Laura and I am 28 years old. I am originally from Birmingham but now I live by the sea in Worthing with my partner. I am an intelligent, creative person. I have a BA (Hons) in English Language and Literature from Oxford University and am currently working on the draft of a novel. I would ideally like more time to spend on writing my book and am in search of more rewarding paid work, hence my desire to tutor. I am fully CRB checked and available immediately.
Aside from writing, I love reading books, photography and watching films. I also like working with people, which is one of the (many) reasons why I enjoy tutoring.
I am friendly, patient and passionate about my subject. I listen to my tutees and strive to create sessions that are tailored to the needs of that particular individual. My approach to tutoring is supportive, relaxed, enthusiastic and thorough. I aim to build confidence as well as increase knowledge and understanding.
Availability: I am away on holiday until 16th September 2010, and will respond to all tutoring requests upon my return. Please do get in touch if you require a tutor for this term; I will get back to you as soon as I am back in the UK.
From week beginning Monday 20th September, I have availability Monday - Thursday, daytime or evening.
Willing to travel: 10 miles
Experience: I have previous experience of working with students, having mentored Year 8 pupils, designed and delivered workshops to young people interested in applying to university and, as an academic coach in a comprehensive school, coached Year 10 and 11 pupils through their AQA English Language and Literature GCSE syllabus.
I have been a private tutor for 2 years now, helping students (ranging from Year 8 - university level) with all aspects of their English Literature and Language courses - including in-depth analysis of texts, improving coursework, exam preparation and revision skills.
