My Experience
I tutored children in English extensively. I was involved in a two year pro bono teaching project where I held two English classes per week, each with 3-4 students. For my younger group, I independently structured a one-year program of English grammar and conversation classes building upon the knowledge they acquired in school. For the older group, I followed their school curriculum closely in order to prepare them for the official state exam (“Esame di Terza Media, prova di Inglese”). I am therefore able to either tutor creatively and independently or to maintain a disciplined and rigorous teaching approach informed by a set syllabus.
I have also been privately tutoring students on and off for the past 6 years. I therefore developed an ability to cater to different student needs, to communicate knowledge ably and efficiently in a way that suits the learner and to create constructive relations with a great variety of different students.
During my IB, because I was the best performing student in our year, my teachers encouraged me to informally tutor my peers. I therefore have experience in passing on knowledge about IB course material and IB exam-taking techniques, skills essential to achieve a 7 in exams.
Finally, I was similarly involved in informal tutoring among members of my college’s Law Society throughout my undergraduate Law BA at Cambridge.
