Rowan (Tutor)

 English (gcse, adult-learner)

I am 26 years old and I have recently completed my PGDE (PostGraduate Diploma of Education) at Strathclyde University (Jordanhill). I will be taking up a teaching post in August.

I have a degree in English Literature and Film & TV studies at M.A (hons) level from Glasgow University - I graduated in 2005. I then moved to China where I taught English as a foreign language for 18 months. After my return I worked in finance for 1 year, and then decided to return to secondary teaching on a full-time basis. My CV is very varied and I consider myself to be an enthusiastic, experienced and professional tutor.

Availability: I am available weekday evenings and weekends.

I am also available for a limited amount of online tutoring, checking and proofreading coursework, and for specific exam preparation.

Willing to travel: 5 miles

Experience: I have been teaching in some capacity since 2003. In 2003 I was a voluntary student tutor at a local Glasgow primary school, a placement arranged by my University. In 2004 I was employed by Glasgow University as a peer mentor as part of the Peer Assisted Learning (PAL) programme, assisting younger students with coursework and building a sense of community to the department I was part of. In 2005, after my graduation, I lived in China for 18 months as a teacher of English as a foreign language to students aged 16 - 25. I was responsible for the creation of the curriculum I taught, as well as the appropriate assessment.
