Information about Elizabeth

I am a qualified English and Theatre Studies teacher with many years of experience. I went into teaching because I love literature and I love working with young people. As a result I find teaching not only satisfying but also thoroughly enjoyable. I have worked in independent schools since 2005 and have taught both English Literature and Drama and Theatre Studies to A level standard, as well as giving private tuition and running a boarding house. I am qualified to MA level and also have a Boarding Schools Association certificate in pastoral care.

As a Housemistress I have several years of experience of pastoral care and am empathetic and sensitive to my students as individuals.

I am a strong believer in working with my students` strengths while challenging them to improve areas of weakness in a supportive and friendly manner. As well as the syllabus required, I also teach the study skills students need to continue their learning between lessons.

I believe that learning should be fun and that everyone has the capacity to enjoy novels, poetry and plays. I aim to help all students set themselves ambitious but realistic goals, whether that be to read aloud confidently, pass GCSE English or get an A in A level English Literature, and then to meet those goals and go on to face new challenges with positivity and determination. Recent pupil success stories include one who was predicted a G but, after half a term working with me, got a C grade at GCSE English, and another who beat his targeted B grade and achieved an A at A level after studying with me.

As well as offering tuition sessions of one or two hours on a regular basis, I offer intensive day and two day long courses to pupils preparing for exams. These are during half terms and school holidays and are one on one. Please enquire for further details.

Availability: Flexible-please get in touch to discuss.

Willing to travel: 5 miles

Experience: I am a highly qualified and experienced teacher and tutor. I have taught AS and A level English Literature (OCR and AQA), GCSE English (OCR, WJEC and AQA) and GCSE English Literature (OCR and AQA) as well as examining for OCR, AQA and CIE. (I can teach to any syllabus, however.) I have taught both foundation and higher tier at GCSE. I have also given private tuition to students of all ages and taught AS and A level Drama and Theatre Studies (AQA). I believe that study and revision skills are incredibly important and always teach them alongside academic subjects.
