LoginHanna - West Drayton tutor
Information About Hanna:
Personal Description:
I'm a young woman of 21 years of age. I'm Luso-British, and I'm fluent and articulate in Portuguese and English, and I have published material in both languages.
I have also drawn since I was very young, and I've been paid for art commissions since I was 15. My grades at all these subjects have always been high, and I can provide official documentation with my results.
Teaching Experience:
I have informally taught schoolmates with English and art throughout the years, since around middle school. I currently help friends to improve their drawing.
Tutoring Approach:
When growing up, whenever nearing a hand-in for art or English class, my peers would always want me to do their work. I refused, and instead, I would walk them to the library and tutor them. They would come to me more and more every year until the end of high school, because I became well known for helping fellow students achieve positive marks, when they would have otherwise flunked.
In teaching English, I noticed that talking tends to work better than just writing, so that is what I do. I pick up what the student already knows, and begin to add things slowly to conversation while explaining, adding new vocabulary and grammar as we go. I also know that giving the student reading material on subjects they are passionate about will boost learning a huge deal. I taught a friend how to read English just from teaching her from her favourite song lyrics and poetry.
The same thing goes for Portuguese.
In art, the first thing I need is for the student to draw a human figure from observation with a time limit. There are many signs that show just what level the person is at. Do they shave the head off, or place the eyes too high in the skull? Or maybe they cannot understand proportions very well? Maybe they just need help on how to think in three dimensions. At a higher level, do they understand the importance of balance in compositions?
And then there's Photoshop. I have a laptop with Photoshop CS2 as well as Jasc Paint Shop Pro 9 installed, and it is perfect to transport and let the student explore and learn under my watch.
I am available at any time, therefor I am very flexible with scheduling. I can tutor at my home or any other location. I also provide snacks, if at my place.
