Information About Sarah:

Personal Description:

I am an experienced tutor in English, Maths, Science, History, French and Spanish. I am a 21-year old student, currently studying English Language and Literature at Oxford University (so I am only available to tutor during the University vacations). My passion for teaching and working with children makes me an easy and fun person to learn with, and my lessons focus on enjoyment and getting the best out of people.

I can also be very results-driven when necessary, and have a good working knowledge of the 11+, Common Entrance 13+, GCSE, iGCSE and A level courses. As well as teaching the requisite material, I can offer revision help, catch-up sessions and even organisational classes, which are very effective in improving public exam results.

I pride myself on the ability to teach any pupil a technique for writing well-structured essays under exam conditions and have helped many students to boost their grades with my effective planning techniques.

I also have experience of the public school Scholarship system, and can provide some useful insights and feedback even to the most able candidates, which will increase their chances of success.

Personally, I enjoy reading, playing football and hockey, choral singing and playing the 'cello.

Teaching Experience:

I spent 11 months of my gap year teaching in an International School in Thailand, the British International School, Phuket. Here I taught primary English, Maths, Topic (History and Geography) and secondary music as well as English as a Foreign Language. I worked and lived in a boarding house, where I assisted with homework during the evenings, and regularly reading with the children.

I have experience of private tuition of English as a Foreign Language, Maths and English with English, Russian, Swedish and Thai children aged between 7 and 12.

I have experience of private tuition of older children of GCSE Science and AS and A level English, History and Spanish.

I personally achieved 4 A grades at A Level in English, French, History and Spanish, and 7 A*s at GCSE.

Tutoring Approach:

I work with pupils to get the best possible results that they can achieve, whilst promoting enjoyment of learning. My style is humorous but firm, and students generally enjoy their time working with me. Whether with homework help, learning a specific topic or working towards a high-pressure public exam, I work with tutees to help them quickly master the basics and begin putting them into practice.

Qualifications:

• Currently studying for a BA English Language and Literature at Oxford University
