LoginEmma - East Finchley tutor
Information About Emma:
Personal Description:
I am a University of York graduate with a B.A. (Hons) in English and Related Literature (2:1). A third of my degree was in French Literature, thus I have a very high degree of French as well as my English skills. I am nearing the end of my PGCE training at the Institute of Education, and will be a qualified secondary English teacher from July onwards. I love my subjects and enjoy the opportunity to work one-on-one with pupils, transferring this enthusiasm and helping them to get excellent exam results along the way!
I am offering taster sessions for 10.
Teaching Experience:
I am currently nearing the end of my PGCE in Secondary English and have spent the year on placement in two different schools, teaching pupils of a wide range of ages and abilities. I spent a year working as a Learning Support Assistant at a secondary school, supporting pupils with learning disabilities, particularly dyslexia and dyspraxia, so I am very good at working one-on-one with pupils. I have also volunteered as a mentor for two years. I thoroughly enjoy helping pupils with their education and am therefore very good at it.
Tutoring Approach:
I have found from my experience that pupils work much better in a relaxed environment where they are not afraid to get things wrong. I try to personalise the tasks I set for each student so that it not only targets their weaker areas, but also relates to a personal interest of theirs. For example if I was working on literacy with someone who enjoyed sports, I would find passages from newspaper sports articles to work on with them. I am never judgemental when pupils do get things wrong, I simply try to explain why they did so and work with them to develop methods they personally find best to use.
