Heather - Sunderland tutor






Information About Heather:


Personal Description:

Hello! I'm Heather and I am currently studying English Literature at Northumbria University with the intention to do a teaching qualification straight after. I live in Sunderland with my husband and daughter and think of tutoring as the ideal way to fund the rest of my education. It is not only rewarding on a personal level but will also help me advance in the teaching field.



Teaching Experience:

I am yet to qualify as a teacher but as this is my intended career path I have done work experience in both primary and secondary schools, as well as being a volunteer at a local special needs school. I am also due to begin my placement at a secondary school.



Tutoring Approach:

Learning should be fun. If we expect our children to learn anything they should enjoy doing it. As tutoring is out of school hours I believe it is important to separate it from the school dynamic while encouraging both discipline and a strong work ethic. In my experience of tutoring it can often lead to the child becoming yet more overwhelmed and bogged down by work, it is therefore, in my opinion, important to treat each tutee individually by quickly assessing their needs and working with them towards their goals.
