Information About Claire:

Personal Description:

I am currently a student of English Language and Literature at the University of Leeds, in my second year. In my first year, I was pleased to finish with a 2:1. At A-level, I studied English Literature, English Language and History, as well as an AS-Level in Psychology, and achieved A grades in all subjects. As a recent school leaver, I have the advantage of understanding the requirements of new style exams, such as essay techniques and formulas, from first-hand experience, and can understand the difficulties of my students. I am particularly interested in helping students make the jump from GCSE- AS Level, and from AS Level- A Level.

Teaching Experience:

Although I have little formal teaching experience, having only under-taken work experience for a short period in a rural primary school, I was available to assist a number of my A-Level and AS Level classmates during revision, as well as throughout the year. I was pleased to find that I could often find new ways to explain difficult concepts to my peers which made them easier to understand, particularly in History and Psychology.

Tutoring Approach:

My approach to tutoring is that each student is different, with different concerns and educational needs. I have a fairly informal approach which I often find helps students who find the classroom environment to be too constricting. More than anything, I have a friendly approach to my students which helps to reduce some of the pressure that they feel, particularly around exam time.

Qualifications:

• A Level English Language, English Literature and History- A,A,A
• BA English Language and Literature (graduating 2010)- 2:1 in first year
