Information About Faye:

Personal Description:

As a professional actress, I have an extensive knowledge of a wide variety of texts. I was always a very strong English student and achieved straight As in all English Studies, Language and Literature through GCSE and A-Level. I then went on to the Oxford School of Drama where I gained a BA(Hons) in Professional Acting. This consisited largely of text work from the Greeks through to the present. A large part of my education was founded in poetry and I feel particularly confident teaching its comprehension and perception. I was awarded runner-up in the BBC Carleton Hobbs Award upon graduation for reading Shakespeare and poetry. Since graduation, I have worked largely on stage and radio, including work for the BBC and the Royal Shakespeare Company. I have a keen eye for English and a good grasp of tone, grammar and the voice of the writer.
Although by no means fluent, I have A-level French and would be happy to conduct part of my lessons in French or help out those needing a little extra help with translation and conversation.
Having just finished a six month run in the West End, I am currently available throughout the week and would be very happy to each in my home or to travel to others'.

Teaching Experience:

Although this would be my first tutoring position, I feel I have a wide variety of experience in other roles that make me a confident tutor. Whilst at school i ran all drama groups at an extra-curricular level including some children with dyslexia, dyspraxia and additional educational needs. I also taught year seven drama groups within the national curriculum. Through my A-Level studies and again at the Oxford School of Drama I participated in a mentor scheme, helping students lower in school through their work and supporting them pastorally, which I relished. This was always on a one-to-one basis which provided me with the ability to listen, adapt and personalise my mentoring.

Tutoring Approach:

I think tutoring can play a vital role in education. Whether it serves to further open an advanced student's mind and really push their strengths, to support those that need that little bit extra to boost their confidence and fulfill their potential, it should above all meet the personal demands of students that may not be realised in a classroom environment. I thoroughly enjoyed my education and find it so disheartening to speak to students who find school and school life difficult, when perhaps all they need is a little extra help to feel confident in their work and of course, themselves. I would aim to be clear, relaxed and friendly in all aspects of my work and seek to encourage those that need it to be positive and self-assured in theirs.
