LoginEliana - Kilburn tutor
Information About Eliana:
Personal Description:
I left school a straight-A student and went on to excel in my undergraduate and post-graduate degrees. However, I know what it is like to struggle as a student. I had to work hard to develop study techniques and an understanding of my subjects, particularly as I have motor dyspraxia, a learning difficulty. I am therefore well equipped to share my skills and knowledge. I was awarded a work prize for my results at A-level. I achieved the highest first in my year for my Philosophy degree at the University of Nottingham. While there I presented a paper in an academic conference at the University of Glasgow. I gained a Distinction in my Masters in Political Theory from UCL. I am currently completing my law conversion course at City University with a view to becoming a barrister. I have a passion for learning and a strong drive to help others achieve their potential.
Teaching Experience:
I informally tutored two people in Philosophy while at University. I worked as a Sunday School teacher for 5 years. I also taught a course in political philosophy at a community centre. I taught English to children and adults in Brazil on my gap year.
Tutoring Approach:
I think people are often capable of more than they realise. Achieving one's potential is a lot about having confidence and enjoying a subject. This is what I would aim to work on in addition to providing assistance with the content of the course. Struggling students rarely lack the intelligence to succeed, more often they lack the techniques to achieve the results they desire. One thing I have learnt from my academic experience is that one cannot impose study techniques upon someone else. Different things work for different people. Schools are often guilty of telling people how to work and their suggested approach may not get the most out of a student. I have also learnt however, that study techniques are needed. My approach, therefore, is to develop with a student a set of techniques that reflect the student's personality. My approach can be summed up as student-led.
