My Passion & How I Inspire

My passion came from my educational and wider experiences. I have always found people, groups and behaviour fascinating and learning theories to attempt to explain human behaviour is incredible interesting. Since first reading about psychology at 14 years old it has continued to excite my interest.

Being a tutor is a true passion of mine, I have taken any opportunity available to teach and I continue to enjoy it. I believe everyone deserves the best education available to them, and tutoring is a great way to enable this. Tutoring helps me pass on the knowledge I have gained throughout my academia and inspire others through their education. Seeing students progress in their education is extremely rewarding and motivates me to continue to tutor.

I try to inspire my students by bringing my passion and enthusiasm to lessons. Preparing exciting and interactive lessons gives the student a more active role in the session and allows them to express themselves. I aim to learn about the student so I can base lessons on the type of teaching they respond to, whilst bringing in different materials to keep their interest.

My Experience

1 to 1 Tutor - Tutoring KS1 school work to home-schooled boy with ASD. The academic material is basic (Key Stage 1); he is working on day-to-day functional skills (telling the time, holding conversations, movement), and plays games to develop other skills (turn-taking etc). The aim is to improve his quality of life and enable him to complete day to day tasks. I work as a private tutor twice a week, with lessons lasting between 75 to 90 minutes. 4 months

Online Tutor - Tutoring Chinese children to improve their English via an online classroom. This involved a variety of ages and abilities with one-to-one tutoring for 30 minutes per session. Sessions vary from high-quality English teaching to basic reading and listening, providing for all abilities and adapting to the appropriate level.
