Information about Phillippa
University of Oxford graduate with 13 years of tutoring and teaching experience both one-on-one and in the classroom.
~ What do YOU WANT to learn? ~
Whatever your goals are, I am ADAPTABLE and will change my teaching to fulfill your interests and learning needs. I am not one of those teachers who just stick to a book. Instead, I deliver PERSONALIZED lessons that are different for every student. As a former Montessori teacher, I support STUDENT-DIRECTED LEARNING (although my experience in CURRICULUM DESIGN enables me to create WELL-STRUCTURED LESSON PLANS as well). Every lesson I will consult with you and regularly evaluate your level so that I only teach you what you want/need to learn.
~ Do you quickly forget what you`ve learnt in lessons? ~
I aim to balance this FLEXIBILITY with STRUCTURE by ensuring you REGULARLY REVIEW what we have covered in previous lessons. At the same time, my lessons are free-flowing so I can respond to what I notice you need to learn in the moment.
~ Remembering is easier when you`re RELAXED! ~
Whilst I take my job very seriously, I also understand the importance of lessons being FUN & ENJOYABLE. Therefore, I create a learning environment that is PATIENT, MOTIVATING, and INTERESTING. Lessons can be as CASUAL or SERIOUS as you prefer, on a regular basis or more infrequently (my schedule is FLEXIBLE!).
Availability: I am a self-employed tutor so I am very flexible in terms of teaching timings.
