Information About Fiona:

Personal Description:

I recently graduated from university and am interested in pursuing a career in education, I enjoy working with young people, I am easy going but have a good, committed work ethic.

I studied Biology and Geography at A-level, achieving a good B grade in biology, and A in geography with 100% in some of my modules.

I studied Graphic Arts and Design at university and recently graduated with a 2:1 degree (only 2 marks from a first) - and have thorough experience with most aspects of art and design including drawing, painting, sculpture, ceramics, digital design (including programs like Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator), animation, printing, typography and graphic design, photography and film making. I also have a lifelong interest and skills in other crafts such as sewing/dressmaking, knitting and crochet.

Teaching Experience:

I studied in Japan for 11 months and therefore have some experience teaching English to Japanese students of all ages, in an informal setting and at a local tutoring school, which was at times extremely challenging, however I found the experience to be very enjoyable and enlightening. In this time I also attended 3 Japanese lessons a week and developed Japanese reading, writing and speaking skills equivalent to 18months of study in the UK. I also learned a lot about Japanese culture and education.

Other than this I have no formal teaching experience but throughout my education have always found fulfillment in helping my fellow students in their studies.

Tutoring Approach:

I am a down to earth and very patient and sympathetic person, with a genuine interest in all of my subjects.

I am willing to help with any aspects of a student's education, including homework, coursework, following a specific syllabus or studying a subject in general.

I would usually approach the tutoring with guidance from the student as to where help is needed or desired, but if given advance information and notice, I would be willing to draw up lesson plans and prepare research for each tutoring session.

• BA [hons] Graphic Arts and Design
• BTEC Foundation Diploma in Art and Design
