My background

I am an incredibly enthusiastic tutor whose teaching is grounded in confidence-building. I truly believe that many of the problems students face come from a lack of confidence in themselves. I keep this at the forefront of my tuition focus as well as maintaining high attention to detail when it comes to planning sessions to make sure students get the most out of everyone. Since my graduation from the University of Birmingham with a 2.1 in History and Political Science, I have gained over two years of experience tutoring primary students and consistently see fantastic results from my tutees. I also work part-time at a tuition centre which is at the forefront of tuition up to 11 Plus, with access to incredible online resources. Therefore, I am fully up to date with the national curriculum and any changes that may come with it. After completing my Masters in Musical Theatre at The Guildford School of Acting (University of Surrey), I have also gone on to become a professional writer with a West End show currently under commission and another nearing its final stages of development. In conjunction with this, I have led seminars in writing at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire.

Experience

I have tutored age groups ranging from reception up to A-Level. I tutored for over nine months at a Tutor Facility which specialised in Maths and English for students aged up to year 6 including 11 plus. Here I taught groups ranging from one to six students. I have also tutored privately for over six months. Some examples of the students I have taught include:

A dyslexic student in year five for Maths and English, a year five student preparing for their 11 Plus examination and an A-Level student for Drama (Edexcel but I have also studied the AQA syllabus) As well as this, I have led seminars at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire on writing and have taught workshops (one-on-one and in groups) since 2017, so I have over two years of experience educating children. One sentence (or even one word) on why you think tutoring is important

Having a tutor can unlock a child's confidence and open a path towards a better understanding of not just the subject they're learning, but their overall education.

Above all else, I am incredibly patient with my students and genuinely passionate about their success, as a result, I have consistently seen a growth in both the confidence and ability of my tutees throughout their time with me.
