Mr Simone Perossa

Subjects: Maths | Italian
Availability: Weekends / Weekdays
Types of Tutoring: From their home

About Simone:
I am reliable, sociable, hard working, enterprising, creative and full of enthusiasm. I have had a wide range of work experiences which has given me many useful transferable skills.
My strengths lie in mathematics, statistics, quantitative analytics and computing. I am very organised in my approach to work, and focus well on priority tasks. I also try to be as innovative as possible in order to find the best and most efficient ways to meet targets. As a result of this approach I work well under pressure. In my instructor roles, I have also realised the importance of team work in achieving goals and of patience, support and communication in managing and building working relationships. I am passionate about sport and dance, and have been participating in sports since the age of 6. During this time I have been a semi-professional footballer in Italy.
I completed a bachelor's degree in Naval Engineering in 2005 from the University of Trieste, and have completed a Masters in Naval Architecture at the same University in June 2008.

Teaching Experience:
During my studies, I have been working as a Italian, Maths and dance instructor and so have many experiences of inspiring and teaching students. I have worked also as a customer services assistant and secretary in a building firm in Italy.
- Winter 2008 Maths tutor
- Winter 2007/08 Dance instructor in the "Studio Dance"
Salsa Portorico Style, Merengue, Bachata
- Summer 2007 Dance instructor (Nottingham)
Salsa Portorico Style, Salsa Footwork
- Summer 2007 Italian tutor (Nottingham)
- 2006 Dance instructor
Salsa Cuban Style, Merengue, Bachata
- 2006 Maths tutor

Tutoring Approach:
From my experience as a Italian tutor, when somebody learn a new language is like a child, the easy way is the best. Examples with practical lessons are very important for vocabulary skills, interesting subjects for reading, writing, listening and speaking skills, while for the grammar a lot of exercises.
From my experience as a Maths tutor I have learnt to stimolate students and help them to belive in theirself. Many of them needed just this. I tried to understand what is important and enjoyable for the student and I made some examples in comparison with the focus of the lesson. Everybody think different so is very important to understand quickly who is the person. I always tried to be funny because Maths usually is boring.
From my experience as a dance instructor I have learnt to be professional. I worked with a diverse range of people in terms age gender and race and I have learnt to give constructive criticisms in sensitive situations.

Master in Naval Architecture

Degree in Naval engineering

Mr Sharik Mirza

About Sharik:
Throughout my studies (GCSEs and A-Levels) I have been a straight As student. I have a BSc. Hons. degree in Biomedical Science from Durham University at 2.1 level. This was essentially a combination of Biology and Chemistry, which provides detailed information behind human biology/medicine.

Teaching Experience:
From 2007-2008, I worked in probation, teaching ex-offenders Maths and English up to Level 2 (GCSE level).

This year, I have been working in a College in London teaching a variety of different subjects. I have been teaching Maths and English up to Level 2. I have also taught IT up to A-Level, including some basic adult evening classes and have experience in Microsoft Office applications. The majority of my classes were GCSE and A-Level Biology and Chemistry classes. As students found my lessons useful, I also provided GCSE and A-Level Biology and Chemistry revision classes during the holidays.

Tutoring Approach:
I believe that all students have potential, but it is up to their tutor to help them reach that potential. I prepare before every class to ensure I have the best resources to aid my students in their learning. It is essential to go into a class with a flexible attitude, as sometimes it is essential to find an alternative way of explaining a concept.

Finding different ways of remembering information is useful, as everyone has a different learning style. I can also provide helpful hints and tips, especially as I remember my own experience of studies as well as my background in education.

Qualifications:

BSc. Hons. Biomedical Sciences (2.1) Durham

Adult Learning Support Level 2
