Information about Victoria

Having taught at The Cheltenham Ladies` College for two years, I set up my tutoring business when I had my first child. Before that I taught for two years at Stowe School and five years at Repton School.

Having completed my BA in English Literature and MA in Medieval Studies at the University of Bristol, I then moved on to the University of Warwick to complete a PGCE in English and Drama, where I completed a year`s training in the state sector.

Teaching, especially in a competitive boarding school is a lifestyle choice, not just a job and I firmly believe that I could not have chosen a more rewarding or enjoyable profession.

So what makes a good Tutor?

The answer lies in the ability to unlock the pupil`s full potential. This means that it is my responsibility to discover the learning style that best suits the individual. I have high, but not unreasonable, expectations of my pupils. Often it is a lack of confidence that results in a pupil under performing and it is my role as a tutor to help them understand where their strengths lie and how they can build on these strengths.

I believe that there are two main elements that contribute to a pupil`s success. The first is variety. I try to make my lesson-planning fresh and imaginative, encouraging pupils to approach texts from many different angles. Secondly, pupils must feel that they are always able to find the support and guidance they need to meet our expectations. If a pupil feels that a teacher works hard and cares about their achievements, then they will often respond in equal measure.

I am able to offer support in IB Higher, A-Level, GCSE and iGCSE. I have experience of teaching a wide range of examination boards and can therefore offer tailored support.

Do get in touch and let me know of your personal requirements so that we can work out a suitable programme of study.

Availability: I will be available over both the term-time and the holiday period, on weekdays evenings. I am due to have my second baby in May, but will be available until then. Whether a pupil requires preparation for an upcoming examination or is struggling in a specific area, I can offer support and guidance.

Willing to travel: 10 miles

Experience: Tutoring Experience: I have twelve years of tutoring and teaching experience in both the state and the private sector.

In the past, my pupils have achieved excellent examination results, with my last year`s AS Level set achieving 100% A grades, with two pupils achieving full marks in one unit.
