Simrat - Reading tutor






Information About Simrat:


Personal Description:

I am a qualified dentist and lawyer and have a very strong academic background. I have dealt with patients throughout my career and used to stressful situations. My education and experience has led to the development of a versatile disposition which translates into a willingness to work with people with different personalities and mindsets. I have strong communication skills (written and oral) attained through my undergraduate voluntary work experience in the community, as a dentist, as well as by my brief stint as a paralegal and finally through being a voracious reader. I was also the president of the Debating Society at both school and university. I am often described as a guardedly gregarious person with an enthusiasm for new experiences and a willingness to learn.



Teaching Experience:

I have part-time teaching experience in India and the UK. My students have ranged from young adolescents to adults and I adapt my teaching style accordingly.
In India I used to teach English as a foreign language with a focus on preparation for TOEFL and IELTS. I also taught confidence-building classes such as debates and declamations.
In UK I did a brief stint as a tutor for an AS level biology student and am happy to report her excellent results. However I was myself in full time education with a young family and could not continue with further teaching.



Tutoring Approach:

I believe I am very flexible in my approach and have the patience to deal with each student's individual needs. My teaching style would most accurately be described as learning by a thorough understanding of the subject. I like to encourage the strengths of the student while aiming to improve on their weaknesses.
I have a lot of experience with community education and have learnt to vary my content and style to suit each individual. I was routinely a study-group leader during University since all my fellow students appreciated my very hands on approach.
