Kate - Ilkley tutor
Information About Kate:
Personal Description:
I am 23 years old and have just graduated from the University of Nottingham with a 2.1 degree in French and Hispanic Studies. I have found that studying languages has been extremely inspiring and I would love the opportunity to share my passion for them with younger learners. I am looking to broaden my teaching experience before embarking upon a career in International Relations.
Teaching Experience:
I have a wide range of experience in teaching and working with children. Since leaving school I have taught English as a foreign language in Ecuador, Ghana, Spain and the U.K. I taught English in an Ecuadorian primary school for six months and in a Ghanian primary and secondary school for two months. Last summer was spent teaching English at a Spanish language school for teenagers.
At university I completed a TEFL module, teaching international university students, as well as an Ambassador's module which involved teaching French in a secondary school in Nottingham for a semester.
Tutoring Approach:
As a younger student I found learning languages extremely daunting. It is important that a language learner feels as confident as possible in order to progress and I would like to support learners in achieving this.
I believe that it is important for students to learn about the cultures of countries where language are spoken as well grammar and vocabulary in order to gain a deeper understanding of the language whilst making learning more interesting and improving cultural awareness.
As a GCSE stuent I had a mathematics tutor which boosted my grade, therefore, I feel that I could really make a positive difference. I am very organised and approachable and I think it is important to make learning fun and relevant.
