LoginJames - Cambridge tutor
Information About James:
Personal Description:
I'm a recent graduate of the University of Sussex where I studied History with electives in film studies. My final year also had a particular focus of literature and philosophy.
I have recently moved back to the Cambridge area and am currently saving money in order to move abroad and teach English as a foreign language.
I would describe myself as friendly, confident, organized and patient. All characteristics which I would argue are very helpful to tutoring.
Teaching Experience:
Whilst at college I took part in a tutoring scheme in the upper sixth, where more experienced second years could impart techniques and tips to first years as well as help with more specific problems and queries.
I have recently had the opportunity to observe teaching at a local language school in Cambridge, in preparation for teaching abroad.
During my final year at University I participated in revision and dissertation workshops where groups of students take it upon themselves to get together and help each other through with advise, as well as direct help such as proof reading.
Tutoring Approach:
I would take a very student based approach to tutoring, beginning with assessing each tutees particular strengths and weaknesses, as well as trying to asses how to get the best results out of them, as it is quite often the case that each individual has a different way of learning. Then working from the demands of the curriculum I would feed off my own experience and knowledge of the system to help the tutee achieve the best possible results.
