Mr David Paterson

Availability: Weekends / Weekdays (evenings)
Types of Tutoring: Travels to you / From their home

About David:
Hello, I am a very friendly and outgoing 23 year old man from Aberdeen. I am a recent law graduate and have a record of good academic achievement. I am friendly, patient and have an organised goal-orientated approach. In my spare time away from university I play 5-aside football and enjoy playing squash.

Teaching Experience:
I have assisted some family friends in Higher English and Higher Modern Studies. Furthermore I am accustomed to helping young people with their studies because I have a nephew who is of secondary school age. Although I may not have vast experience, I bring a determined and pragmatic approach to gaining the best results for my students whilst maintaining a sense of enjoyment.

Tutoring Approach:
My approach is to gain a friendly rapport with my pupils and then assess exactly what they need help with. This would involve looking over the objectives and deadlines of the course involved and formulating a plan with the student. I would then assess the students strengths/weaknesses and anxieties to determine where our initial focus would lie.


Qualifications:
LLB (hons) Law
8 standard grades
5 Highers
1 Advanced Higher

Miss Chantal Wallis

Availability: Weekends / Weekdays (evenings)
Types of Tutoring: Travels to you

About Chantal:
I am 24 years old and currently working as a scientist in the area of Influenza. I have a first class honours degree in Microbiology from Cardiff University, and A-levels in Biology (A), Chemistry (B) and Physics (B). I enjoy working with young people and helping them learn and progress with science. I also hold a current enhanced CRB check.

Teaching Experience:
Throughout my university and college years, I have held study groups to aid my colleagues. I frequently offer help to friends and family with their lessons and am told that I offer good, clear explanations.

Tutoring Approach:
As a younger tutor I can empathise with the pressures children face taking their exams today. It was not so long ago I did my own exams! I also find that my age helps me identify with the students and that they feel comfortable asking me questions and talking about the subject areas they find difficult. I adapt my lessons to suit the needs of the student, be it revision, writing notes or doing practice questions. I am told my explanations are clear and easy to understand. I like to make learning as fun and lively as possible!


Qualifications:
BSc Honours Microbiology
A-level Biology (A)
A-level Chemistry (B)
A-level Physics (B)

Mr Antonio Rodriguez
Subjects: Japanese  |  Spanish  
Availability: Weekends / Weekdays
Types of Tutoring: Travels to you / From their home / Online

About Antonio:
I am a 24 years old spanish boy, living near the centre of Nottingham. I like learning languages and sharing with other people, specially the japanese and its culture.

Teaching Experience:
I have some experience teaching spanish to exchange students, mainly english and japanese speakers. I have studied japanese for 4 years, so I can converse and also teach it at a reasonable level.

Tutoring Approach:
I begin the lesson checking how much of the language does the student know, and then try to make them get a spanish pronunciation of every letter of the alphabet. I have some grammar books to use in the lessons. I can move to your home if is not too far away from city center for the class, which can be as long as you think necessary, usually 60 to 90 minutes. I can also use internet, but for the spoken parts would be better to meet in person, as I can help you to correct the english pronunciation and make it sound like spanish.


Qualifications:
Japanese at University Language School

Ms Emma Firestone
Subjects: Latin  |  Drama  |  Reading & Writing skills  |  English (Foreign Language)  |  English  
Availability: Weekends / Weekdays
Types of Tutoring: Travels to you / From their home

About Emma:
Hi, I'm Emma! I'm 24 and a native of Boston, Massachusetts, though I've lived in Cambridge for a few years now. I hold degrees from Cambridge University (English) and Harvard University (Classics and Anthropology) and will start my Ph.D at Cambridge in the fall. (It's in Renaissance literature, and most of my research is on Shakespeare's theatre company and Elizabethan performance conventions). From September-December 2007 I was in Tokyo, studying Japanese and teaching English language and literature courses to students at Nihon University. Now I'm back in Cambridge, working various jobs (teaching and otherwise), and am very keen to meet more students and get more teaching experience!

In my free time, I see a lot of theatre (or as much as I can afford...) and a lot of ballet, write dance reviews for an online journal, and read cookbooks compulsively. I'm also an ex-competitive swimmer and water polo player and try to get to the pool as much as possible. I've also become increasingly curious about open-water swimming...

Teaching Experience:
While at Harvard I worked as a trained undergraduate tutor at the Writing Centre, helping students in all courses to gain confidence and independence in their college writing. While I was happy to help with specific assignments and particular details, I tended to focus more on larger issues of personal style, argumentative and organisational strategies, and critical thinking. Beyond these more formal tutoring arrangements, I copy-edited and proofread several of my friends' senior theses (dissertations). I also tutored some local children in beginners' and intermediate Latin grammar. [I studied Latin in school from age 12-18 and took several university-level classes in Latin poetry and prose. While my formal education in Classics ended in my second year at university, I use Latin quite often in my studies in Renaissance lit, so my grammar skills have stayed up to scratch.]

More recently, I've taught ESL courses (elementary->intermediate level) for Select English in Cambridge, and freelanced as a proficiency-level English conversation tutor. While in Tokyo I led free-conversation courses for Japanese university students and assisted in teaching classes in English literature and art.

Tutoring Approach:
Well, I suppose that my basic approach to tutoring has something to do with taking students very seriously, and always treating them as the valuable, independent minds that they are.... so of course, my tutoring sessions tend to be very interactive & founded on personal interest and respect. I have observed that a great deal of tutoring -- certainly in writing and literature, probably in any subject that requires critical thinking of some sort -- is actually about boosting the student's confidence, and dissolving his/her inhibiting deference to phony obstacles and phantom authorities. It's about showing students that they actually have all the necessary resources and abilities to express themselves cogently, to clarify their thinking and defend their convictions, and to cope with all the truth they observe --> and that they should WANT to do this!

While I am happy to focus on particular assignments or questions, my goal is to make all my students more confident, efficient, and effective writers and thinkers. I also try to show students (by example if nothing else) that the subjects really can be FUN, and that studying the arts -- by translating a passage, critiquing a poem, writing a short essay, whatever -- is one of the fundamental ways that we learn about ourselves, as well as the world around us.


Qualifications:
Writing Tutor, Harvard Writing Centre
ESL teacher (TEFL-certified)
First in English at Cambridge (I accelerated through the English tripos and earned a BA in two years); Honours thesis at Harvard awarded summa cum laude.
Lots of recent teaching experience with 16-22-year-olds (A-level, university)

Miss Laura Mills
Subjects: Special Needs  |  Reading & Writing skills  |  English  
Availability: Weekends / Weekdays (evenings)
Types of Tutoring: Travels to you / From their home / Online

About Laura:
I am a 24 year old qualified secondary school teacher living near Old Street in North London.

I am passionate about teaching and about giving young people the best start in life, and realise the importance of achieving well in school and in examinations for young people's future. I find it very rewarding to be able to help young people achieve their full potential and enjoy their studies through successful tutoring.

My interests are current affairs and the arts. I enjoy reading, visiting galleries and sites of cultural heritage and live music. I develop positive, caring relationships with the young people I teach.

Teaching Experience:
I have worked in two outstanding London secondary schools, as both an English teacher and special educational needs class teacher.

I have expertise and experience in working with students with ASD, ADHD, Downs syndrome and global learning delay. I have also successfully taken disaffected and lower achieving students through the AQA GCSE course with great success. I have had experience of working with gifted and talented students, and in supporting them in achieving A and A* grades. Working in London schools I have also taught and supported learning for students for whom English is a second language.

Before beginning my teaching career in the UK I worked as a voluntary English language teacher in India, where I worked to help students improve their conversational English skills and pronunciation.

Tutoring Approach:
Tutoring can be an incredible helpful tool in aiding students to achieve their academic goals, however, it has to be done well to be successful. As a qualified teacher I am aware of the different ways in which students learn and the difficulties they may face. When tutoring, the work and support I provide will be tailored to the needs of the individual, and will support them in gaining independence in achieving their own goals.


Qualifications:
PGCE secondary English
2:1 degree in 'Art and Literature' from the University of East Anglia
