Charles - Leeds tutor






Information About Charles:


Personal Description:

I am a twenty year old student at Leeds University, currently on a deferred year, studying Philosophy and Theology. Once i have completed my degree in 2012 i will take another year to do a PGCE and then become a teacher. I already have a job lined up for when i finish university so i would like to take this time to become the best teacher possible. I believe that while tutoring children over this year they will in turn be helping me become a better teacher.



Teaching Experience:

Admittedly I have little teaching experience. I took part in schemes at my school during sixth form that meant i would tutor primary school and GCSE students, this ranged from homework help to helping read and write. I have also tutored a friends little brother during his GCSEs in Maths, English, RE and DRAMA.



Tutoring Approach:

I would say I am a fun tutor and believe that if learning is fun then the child is less likely to absorb the information. I also believe it is true to make things relevant to the individual, comparing a maths equation to a football wont help the child learn if he doesn't watch football, will only confuse him further.
However when it comes to work and to the completion of tasks I will only have a certain degree of leniency, because being strict is key if you wish to get the full capability out of somebody.
