Sarah

About me:

I`m Sarah. I`m a well-qualified and very experienced teacher and tutor of Geography to GCSE and A Level students.

I have worked in China in a private, international school for a number of years and here in the UK in state education for many years too where I have either taught or been Head of Department in schools. I currently teach at a secondary school in Worthing but have taught in various schools along the South Coast.

Availability: Monday and Thursday 7pm - 9pm
Sunday 9am - 11:00am and after 4:30pm

Willing to travel: 5 miles

Experience: What will tutor sessions look like?

In the first session, I use the time to get to know the student. I look at the book work that has been completed and any past papers and identify areas of weakness where I can add value and help your child make rapid progress. I use the session to discuss where the student feels they are most struggling or needs most assistance. I use any remaining time to look at general exam techniques.

All subsequent sessions will involve either direction from the student (if there is a topic which needs be explained through for example) or with me driving the direction of sessions with where I feel we need to improve. For example, if extended questions and exam technique are a problem we spend the session embedding revision and technique to complete a `model` full mark answer.

I often provide exam questions (either data response or extended questions) to the student to complete for a mini homework, which I will then mark at home before the next session and feedback the following lesson to provide a continual learning loop to speed up and refine examination technique.
