LoginRory - South Tottenham tutor
Information About Rory:
Personal Description:
I am 22 and I recently graduated from Trinity College, Cambridge University, where I achieved a first class honours degree in languages (Russian, Latin, Ukrainian).
I'm from Manchester originally, where I went to the Manchester Grammar School.
I'm currently working as a freelance literary translator and playwright in London.
I speak fluent Russian, and I lived in Russia and Kyrgyzstan in 2008 as part of my degree.
I also speak French (I have an A-level), Ukrainian and Kyrgyz.
As a writer and playwright, I love literature, and would also be able to teach English Lit or History (my other A level).
Teaching Experience:
I taught Latin for a year in an inner city primary school in Manchester in 2005.
I taught English at the Kitezh Children's Community in the Kaluga region of Russia (January-February 2008)
Tutoring Approach:
I'm generally very flexible, and would tailor my tutoring to the wants and needs of each specific tutee.
In terms of languages I'm a great believer in learning through literature. It's an amazing insight into the culture as well as a greater booster for vocabulary. For beginners I'd use nursery rhymes, and the texts would increase in complexity according to the standard of the tutee. Homework for languages would normally be grammar-based exercises, which are the cornerstone of inflective languages like Russian or Latin. Conversation practice is, again, essential, but as I said earlier I'd be happy to work on whatever areas in which the tutee felt themselves to be weakest.
