LoginYvonne - Witney tutor
Information About Yvonne:
Personal Description:
I am 42 years old, female, and live in Witney, a growing town near Oxford. I am married and have a family of my own (now almost grown up! ) and have been teaching locally for almost 13 years.
I am outgoing, friendly, reliable and communicative. I have a passion for English language and literature and enjoy my job immensely.
In my leisure time I enjoy meeting friends, socialising, travelling, walks, theatre, reading and writing, gardening, yoga and swimming.
Teaching Experience:
I have 13 years teaching experience, covering a wide age range including Primary & Secondary after -school tuition, SATS/GCSE and ALevel preparation. I do 1-1 private tuition and groups. I also teach EFL at all levels from beginner to Proficiency, with particular emphasis on Cambridge Exam Preparation - PET/FCE/CAE/CPE & IELTS with a good success rate. I have tutored undergraduates preparing for Finals at Oxford and advised researchers on historical/literary background. I recently spent a year working in Madrid teaching top executives Business English in-company.
My first Bacherlor of Arts degree is in English Language & Literature and I graduated from Oxford University.
I then completed a Further Education diploma (teaching adults in Further Education ), and a CELTA/DELTA diploma for EFL teaching. The DELTA diploma has enabled me to set up my own tutorial service in Oxford but I continue to take on extra tuition outside of this.
(Please notes my rates are already reasonable and I am willing to travel to you if possible and will consider anything beyond the 20 mile stipulation but do ask for extra minimal travel costs on any tuition I must travel to outside of Witney itself. This would mean adding 60p a mile to your hourly rate. Thankyou)
Tutoring Approach:
My approach to tutoring is fairly relaxed but very structured in terms of preparation and planning to provide for individual student needs. I administer an initial placement test and needs analysis and then design an ongoing 'course' of lessons linked to the length of study time required and the student's personal objectives - e.g - to pass ALevel English with good grades to enter University.
to gain IELTS level 7.5 for entry to UK University.
to gain a good level for English or three 'R's pre SATS and beyond
I also offer courses /lessons simply for interest/enjoyment/personal development.
I am flexible, adaptable to needs, and willing to travel to individual homes or invite you here to my own in which I have a purpose built teaching space, with lots of resources.
I believe in expression of voice and opinion, especially when studying literature, and encouraging students to reach their full potential. Above all, I hope to instil my own passion for language into the teaching I provide, leaving students fulfilled and genuinely having learnt something, whatever the outcome or objectives they wish to achieve.
