LoginMatthew - Brighton tutor
Information About Matthew:
Personal Description:
I recently graduated from the University of Sussex with a First in English Language and currently live in central Brighton. I'm very friendly and have lots of experience of working with children and young people in an educational context. I am a creative and forward thinking tutor and enjoy finding ways to explain and remember difficult and unfamiliar concepts. Teaching and working with children is what I love, and this enjoyment makes me a reliable and amiable tutor.
I can tutor most subjects between primary and GCSE level (including Maths and French) and can tutor A and AS Levels in Physics and English (Language & Literature).
Teaching Experience:
My first job was as an Activities Assistant in a local museum where I helped children learn and have fun while taking part in educational activities and workshops during the school holidays. I received formal training in child education and interaction.
During sixth form I was selected and trained as a student mentor and met with a group of GCSE students every fortnight to discuss academic and personal issues.
In the summer holidays during university I worked as a Children's University Tutor in Portsmouth, planning and running educational workshops for primary school children. These included arts and crafts, class trips and school-style lessons.
I have been a Study Support Worker for Brighton & Hove City Council and work in afterschool 'homework clubs' in libraries around the city where children and young people can get help and advice with their studies. I was also training in child education for this post.
I have tutored a friend's children for the last year (primarily in Maths and Science) and would be happy to provide her details, or the deatils of any former employee, as a reference on request.
Tutoring Approach:
I am very flexible with regard to my approach. I am happy to visit a student's house or meet somewhere like a public library for the sessions or even tutor online (using MSN or Skype). I have found the best session length to be around an hour, although the homework clubs I work at run for slightly longer and I am more than happy to work for as long as the student wants to. I am happy to work on a regular weekly basis, for revision sessions prior to exams or just on a one-off or occasional basis.
I find it best to use school textbooks or revision guides as the basis for tutoring but again I am flexible here. I bring my own stationery but will charge for other materials like textbooks, as well as for travel outside of Brighton & Hove.
Just let me know what kind of tutoring you require and I will do my best to make it happen!
