Sarah

I`m a creative and enthusiastic person who believes in a positive and encouraging approach to teaching. As well as tutoring I work as a writer for both stage and screen which I believe lends a practical understanding of how to nurture a students talent both in understanding texts and expressing themselves in person and on the page. I hope my passion for the subject comes across and makes lessons not only informative but enjoyable!

Availability: I`m available both weekdays and weekends, during the daytime or evening.

Willing to travel: 8 miles

Experience: I graduated with a Masters from the National Film and Television School and an English degree from York University. I have worked as a writer and a tutor for the past five years now and continue to love helping people gain the confidence needed to fulfil their full potential. I firmly believe that when it comes to exams, success lies in getting back to the original text. If students are able to enjoy the literature and the process, then we will be able to find out the answers that achieve the highest grades.

My experience with tutoring has varied from one to one sessions, to small classes to assisting with written work online.

I specialise in getting students ready for dreaded exams, preparing them with the forensic knowledge of a text that is required to really succeed. This begins long before the revision process, with homework help and extra work. If you `learn as you go`, things will be much easier later on! I really care for the students I have worked with in the past and believe that everyone has it in them to achieve what they desire with regards to their education.

Equally my work in creative writing provides me with an innovative approach to English for younger students, allowing a more stimulating method of teaching.
As a private tutor I believe it is my responsibility to cater to the specific needs of the pupil.

With the right guidance, supplementary education provides the tools (and qualifications) so that both children and adults may better their prospects, knowledge and cultural appreciation.

At the beginning of our tuition course I will suggest an introductory session so we can talk over your specific needs and can adapt my teaching style as required.
