Lizzy

I graduated from Oxford in 2018 and will start my PGCE teacher training in Secondary School English at UCL in September 2021. Since graduating I have been working in the social care sector, for an organisation supporting people with learning disabilities and/or mental health conditions. Over the years I have travelled a lot and volunteered across Europe with refugees and displaced people.

My degree at Oxford was in French and Italian, with a strong focus on literature. I am a real bookworm and can`t wait to get in the classroom to see the next generation`s take on books, language and learning.

I have attended very traditional and privileged schools and am sensitive to both the pros and cons of this! My approach to teaching is one that prioritises enjoyment, engagement and wellbeing. I like to find out what makes each learner tick and apply that to the structure of my lessons. I love working with young people, hearing their perspectives and working together to achieve their goals!

Availability: I am available most weekday afternoons/evenings and weekends as well.

Willing to travel: 3 miles

Experience: I have previously supported children and young adults with a range of subjects, including English language and English literature as well as Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning. Working one to one with a student guarantees that I get to know how they learn, process and apply new skills and information and means that I can be sure to structure our lessons in the most engaging and efficient way possible. My tutoring sessions have boosted confidence and developed understanding enormously.

I am currently tutoring young students both online and in person, and am happy to travel in my local area.
