Information About Anna:

Personal Description:

I achieved 5 A*s in my A Levels, studying Maths, Further Maths, General Studies, Economics and Latin (in which I got full marks). I also have a History AS (at grade A). I am currently studying Philosophy, Politics and Economics at Oxford University, but am in London half of the year (we get very long vacations!). I have 10A*s at GCSE level, in Mathematics, English Language, English Literature, French, Religious Studies, History, Latin, Biology, Chemistry and Physics.

Teaching Experience:

For 4 years I had a weekly job where I helped a neighbor with English, Maths and French homework. Recently I have done tutoring for the Common Entrance Scholarship Latin exam. I was involved in running Saturday morning lessons and activities for socially disadvantaged and bright children for several months. I jointly run the school's Debating Society and so have trained several completely novice debaters how to debate. Probably my most formative tutoring experiences, however, have arisen at school, where I regularly help friends and classmates, especially in Maths.

Tutoring Approach:

I remember very clearly what public exams are like, and how scary they can be, especially if you are unsure of the material. One of my priorities in tutoring for the Common Entrance Scholarship Latin exam was building up the child's confidence through manageable activities and exercises, avoiding a "can't do" attitude. I've had a wide variety of teaching experiences and I believe this has equipped me to deal with the individual needs of every child. For example, helping friends with homework has accustomed me to explaining the concepts behind different questions rather than doing the question for them, which encourages laziness.

Qualifications:

• 10A* GCSEs
• 6A AS Levels
• 5A* A2 Levels
