LoginKirsty - Birmingham tutor
Information About Kirsty:
Personal Description:
I am a 19 year old student of English and Creative Writing at the University of Birmingham.
I am well spoken and well read, with a wide range of extra curricular interests, including playing the flute at a high level in a number of ensembles, taking part in dramatic and musical performance and productions, editing a University magazine, and dance.
I was a very high achiever at school, receiving 6 A*, 6 A and 2 B grades at GCSE, and AABB at A-level, in English, Economics, Music and Maths respectively.
If you wish to meet before booking a session, or to have a trial session, then please feel free to contact me with no obligation.
Disclaimer: I am not qualified as a teacher beyond what is declared here. All references given are valid and true, but please be aware I am a University student.
Teaching Experience:
I have had experience teaching at all levels except A-level:
I have undertaken work placements at a Nursery and Primary School, and taught in an inner-city Birmingham school as part of a Government supported placement.
In school, as an A-level student I was a student-tutor, running revision groups for pupils on my year in both English and Economics.
I travelled to Venice to tutor a bi-lingual brother and sister, who attend school in Englanh, in July 2008. The boy has severe dyslexia and the girl was working towards her 11 + Exam. We managed to keep the momentum of work going with the boy over summer, working in ways adapted to his needs, and the girl achieved places at her desired schools in February this year.
