Laura - Camden Town tutor






Information About Laura:


Personal Description:

I am 21 years old. I am friendly, lively, outgoing but also listen carefully and I'm very hard working.

I am currently a 4th year undergraduate studying at University College London in Central London in joint honours French and Russian. I have tutored successfully for the last four years. I have got a wide range of GCSEs and 5 Alevels. I also have a TEFL qualification.

Before university I studied at Skipton Girls' and so had to sit the entrance exams. I am approachable and try to make whichever subject I tutor fun and enjoyable as I found my studies! I really enjoy working and also learning with my tutees as everyone has their own ideas to express.



Teaching Experience:

I tutored during sixth form years to year 10s and year 11s. My major successes were to enable students working at a grade D level to finally achieve As in their final literature exams.

When I came to university I started tutoring again. I have worked with primary school children teaching maths and english at KS2 level and also basic reading and writing strategies. Further to this I worked in Holland Park School in Notting Hill with a group of Year 11s tutoring English Literature at GCSE level.

I find tutoring exciting and extremely rewarding when I see points have finally been grasped and the student can now communicate what they had locked up in their minds.

As I did very essay based subjects and still continue on this track I can help with basic ideas of essay structuring and approach to exams.



Tutoring Approach:

I believe learning is a very individual thing and I listen to what the student finds the hardest and supply ideas of how to tackle these problems.

I prefer a laid back style to tutoring as I feel learning should be enjoyable. However I always get the work and my plans for the session done.

I like to have some fun and create a healthy relationship with the people I tutor. When the student does not want me there or I do not want to go to work the learning process is heavily impeded and progress cannot be made.

Our aims and goals are the same it is just finding the right path there!
