Clare - Bristol tutor






Information About Clare:


Personal Description:

I am a university student currently finishing my first year at Edinburgh University where I am reading English Literature. As a student myself I have very recently been through GCSEs and A Levels and know that school teachers don't always have the time or inclination to give individual students detailed help and feedback. I like to have a relaxed but focused approach to the work - it doesn't matter if people get things wrong as long as they are willing to listen about how they could improve - and take away the impression that studying and revision always has to be boring and difficult.



Teaching Experience:

As I am a university student I have no formal experience of teaching. However, I achieved 3 A grades at A level (including English Literature) and as I am continuing to reach high standards at university level I feel that I have enough knowledge of the subject to tutor GCSE and A level students. I have led study groups in the run up to the A level exams and found them very beneficial to myself and to others. I think that I could really help somebody to further their understanding of literature, especially as I am a student myself and very aware of the main problems people have during the GCSE and A level period.



Tutoring Approach:

I really love English Literature so I hope that I can help to inspire others too. I am enthusiastic and hate just memorising notes so have always come up with more inventive and more memorable ways to learn. I am fairly relaxed and friendly but also focused on the work and making improvements in all areas of the subject.
