Peter - York tutor






Information About Peter:


Personal Description:

I'm a University Graduate with a Degree in Education Studies. Following on from this I was president of the Student' Union for a year dealing with a range of student and education issues. I have a passion for education and a strong grasp of all key curriculum subjects. In addittion to this I work part time at a local mental health charity.



Teaching Experience:

I spent 2 years training to be a teacher before deciding against it so I have plenty of experience working with children, with both formal and informal classroom work, involving lesson planning, marking and general supervision of primary school aged children. While at secondary school I ran a lunchtime activities club and volunteered as a peer mentor assisting younger students with their school work.



Tutoring Approach:

During my teaching practices I was able to connect well with this children and this is something I would bring to the tutoring role. It's important to engage with the student on their own level in order to assist with their understanding. While at times guidance may be required I think it is a lot more rewarding to the student to discover things for themselves rather than being given the answer, to this end I would work hard to empower the student without doing the work for them.
