Vanessa

I am a friendly, caring and conscientious mother of three who enjoys sharing my enthusiasm for my subjects and helping students achieve their true academic potential. I like to `think outside the box` and always look for different ways to put my ideas and lessons across. I am a semi-professional singer and enjoy writing, often using poetry as a way of encouraging young people to harness their own creative talents.

I am an experienced tutor of Primary age children. I enjoy encouraging children to achieve their true potential and am experienced in helping children who find learning in the traditional school environment challenging. I have several years of experience aiding students in their preparation for Entrance and Secondary School Examinations in addition to four years experience in Music tuition at Primary Level.

Helping students to prepare for GCSE English exams is something I enjoy and I am also an experienced teacher of English as a Foreign Language.

Willing to travel: 20 miles

Experience: Lessons are tailored to the requirements and learning styles (visual/auditory) of each student. When teaching I encourage my students to make links between their subjects and I use poetry as a medium for encouraging children to tap into and enjoy their creative abilities. Often this involves taking inspiration from the environment around them. I put pupils at ease and create productive and enjoyable learning environments. I continuously use challenge and praise to encourage pupils to believe in their abilities and expand their knowledge. I also offer revision and examination advice to ensure success.
