ONLINE LESSONS AVAILABLE
I have recently obtained a Bachelors of Science degree in Geography at Royal Holloway, University of London.
Fully qualified TEFL teacher (Teach English as a Foreign Language).
I am able to teach a range of subjects at a variety of levels including SATs, Key stage 3, GCSE, AS and A2.
Availability: - Please contact me to find out more regarding my availability.
- I am very flexible with when I can work, however weekday evenings from 5pm-8.30pm are best for me.
- I am willing to travel to you, as I have a car.
Willing to travel: 10 miles
Experience: I have a considerable amount of experience in tuition and teaching children. I have 5 years teaching experience.
At a school in Windsor, I taught Geography A level AQA, privately and full time. My time there was a huge success, my students passed their exams with flying colours, and I gained the approval of many parents, long standing teachers and even professors. I did not only teach A level, but also year 5 and 6 too.
I have been described as "An impressive young teacher" with an "excellent grasp of the A-level specification".
As I have worked in schools, I can provide a DBS/CRB check certificate, which I know may put many parents at ease. If you wish to see this, then I can most definitely provide it.
Additionally, I have been tutoring for the past two years and have not had one failure. I have tutored Geography GCSE for the OCR specification, and also the Edexcel and I am familiar with all recent changes in specifications.
In terms of my degree, this has been a rigorous but thoroughly enjoyable experience, I have learnt an incredible amount of information and valuable skills which I can transfer to students. I have learnt a great deal about both the human and physical sides of geography. However, in my second year I have taken physical geography to a whole new level, researching different scientific concepts with in the topics of Rivers and there hydrology, Environmental change and Sustainability.
Other than geography, I also tutor english language and literature. I currently have a few students, who are doing incredibly well. I know the specifications well and have so far taught lessons on An Inspector Calls, Romeo and Juliet, lord of the Flies and Of Mice and Men. My recent GCSE students have climbed from a level 4 (Grade C) to a level 7 (Grade A) in just a couple of months. Furthermore, students have achieved level 8 (Grade A*).

Just recently we contacted Athena to see if she would be interested in teaching some of our EFL groups. From day one, Athena was very professional and enthusiastic, nothing was too much to ask even when at times we had to changed lessons and plans at the last minute. She was very quickly able to build great rapport with students and colleagues alike, facilitating the fluidity of the learning environment. I would 100% recommend Athena.

She is very knowledgeable on the subject. My daughter seems to be improving after Athena showed her different strategies for tackling essays. Always on time. Would highly recommend.

My son benefited a lot from Athena`s lessons and has gone one level up in class in English.
She can understand the difficult areas quickly.
She is very patient with children and can make children comfortable in no time.
We are extremely happy to have her as my son`s private teacher and would definitely recommend her for English lessons.
