Lisa (Tutor)

 English (gcse, a-level)

 History (gcse, degree, a-level)

I am a friendly, bubbly and responsible individual, with excellent communication skills, and a genuine love of teaching. I am hard-working, conscientious and highly enthusiastic when it comes to teaching, and thoroughly enjoy seeing the rising achievement of my pupils. As an Oxford Graduate, I have studied History from medieval times to the present at degree-level, which gives me a vast subject knowledge.

Availability: Weekday evenings and Weekends.

Willing to travel: 5 miles

Experience: I am a fully qualified History teacher, with experience in and -as-an-Additional-Language tuition. I have been teaching in comprehensive schools for the last four years, and have also been tutoring for several Oxford-based tutorial colleges. As a result, I have taught at many different levels, and have experience of all examination boards at GCSE and A level.
I also teach Learning 2 Learn, which allows pupils to gain a greater understanding of multi-sensory and metacogantive learning, which has allowed me to adopt several different teaching and learning styles, benefitting my teaching and tutoring.

My tutoring style:
Firstly, I would assess the knowledge and understanding of the pupil, thus ensuring that I can meet their needs and increase their attainment.

Then, tutorials would take a very examination-driven approach, using board specifications, mark schemes and model answers, which would allow the pupil to understand exactly what is required of them during the examination. I would also be willing to assist with any coursework, and encourage extra reading, and give them as many resources as possible.

I feel it is also important to allow pupils to read around their subject, as it often gives them greater confidence and extra understanding of the topics being studied.

As an Oxford graduate, I can also tutor for Oxbridge examination and interview preparation, as I have been doing so at school for the last 4 years.
Ultimately, I favour a rather personalised approach, and would create a tailor-made unit of study in order to ensure success.
