Information About Annette:


Personal Description:

I tutor from my comfortable home in Bishopston, BS7 (I only do home visits locally where a special need exists). I ask for a minimum commitment of 4 sessions.
I have a degree in English, a PGCE in English teaching, experience of teaching English Language and Literature in secondary schools and experience as a GCSE examiner in English Literature and an AS examiner in English Language (AQA). I can tutor English Language A level and/or English Literature to A level. I am a specialist subject teacher for English.
On the basis of further qualifications and professional experience in social research and psychotherapy I can also tutor Sociology and Psychology to A level.I work at a tutorial college in the centre of Bristol, teaching English Language A level and Sociology A level.
I see students straight after school or during the day when sixth formers have free periods. I can also offer sessions during the school holidays. I can't offer weekends or late evenings.



Teaching Experience:

Working full time in London and Bristol secondary schools for 5 years teaching English Language and Literature enabled me to stretch students of all abilities. After having my own family I returned to the challenges of secondary supply teaching. I have also worked as a social science researcher for Cardiff University in schools and have strong experience in the subject of Sociology. I am also a qualified, practising counsellor so have strong experience in the subject of Psychology. I worked as an examiner for the Midland Examining Group for 7 years on the GCSE Literature paper, and in 2017 on the English Language AS for AQA. I have been tutoring since 2012.



Tutoring Approach:

My personal qualities and professional training enable me to work with any individual student and their own motivation. I am experienced at tailoring work to the needs of the student and the requirements of the examining body. I am happy to help with coursework and exam preparation, and to agree goals with the student to progress between tutoring sessions. I arrange private GCSE and A level retakes where needed, including one year courses.
