I am a 26 year old tutor based in South London specialising in English at all levels, essay writing and exam technique. I can also help with Science from 11+, and Drama and Theatre Studies. I have experience of tutoring students with dyslexia, attention deficit disorders, and other special educational needs.

I grew up in Devon and attended Colyton Grammar School, where I obtained A grades in English Literature, Theatre Studies and Biology at A-Level. In 2004 I then went on to study for a BA in English and Drama (Double 1st) at the University of Manchester.

Whilst at university, I was involved with the Greater Manchester Army Cadet Force, teaching children aged 13-18. At university I also started writing and performing comedy as part of a sketch group, and have continued to perform with them for the last four years, taking shows to the Edinburgh Festival every summer. In 2010, our show featured a group of young children aged 7-12, who I taught to perform through workshops and rehearsals. Alongside my career as a performer, I have worked as a teaching assistant in a high school in inner city Manchester, where I focused on one-to-one work with students with special educational needs.

Availability: I am very flexible as I work mostly from home, and am available most evenings and weekends.

Willing to travel: 10 miles

Experience: 2008-2009 - TEACHING ASSISTANT, The Albion High School, Salford.

I worked as a teaching assistant with students ranging from 11-16 in this very challenging inner city school, mainly in the science department. My duties included one-to-one support for students with a range of special educational and behavioural needs, general classroom support for teachers with difficult groups of students, and maintaining discipline and order whilst promoting a positive learning environment. My background in English allowed me to specialise in tutoring students with dyslexia and other special needs to complete coursework, as well as helping them to understand and engage with science as a subject.

2005-2007 - UNDER OFFICER, Greater Manchester Army Cadet Force

I worked at the GMACF summer camps supervising and teaching basic military skills to groups of cadets aged 13-18, some of whom had behavioural difficulties. I designed lesson plans and teaching methods for this unique educational opportunity that would preserve discipline whilst maintaining an effective and stimulating learning environment.

2010 - WORKSHOP LEADER, various locations.

As part of a show I created in 2010, I taught several different groups of children aged 7-12 the skills needed to perform as part of a professional theatre show. As well as teaching them stagecraft and acting technique, I also encouraged confidence and enjoyment as part of the learning experience.
