LoginBen - Finsbury Park tutor
Information About Ben:
Personal Description:
I'm a friendly, outgoing and enthusiastic tutor, 25 years old, with a 1st-class history degree from Oxford University and an MA(hons) in Humanities & Social Science from the University of Chicago. I have three years experience of teaching, both as a private tutor and as a full-time CELTA-qualified English language and literature teacher in St John's Wood, and my feedback both from students, parents and other teachers has been uniformly positive. My students consistently achieve and surpass their target grades. My approach to studying won me a scholarship to attend Oxford University, two prestigious academic awards while I was there, and a bursary to study a Masters at the prestigious University of Chicago, and I'm confident that my friendly, patient, and academically rigorous approach can work for you too. I'm fully CRB-approved and looking for work in the Greater London area.
Teaching Experience:
TEFL Teacher, St John's Wood School of English, NW8 0RH (July 2010 - Present)
TEFL Teacher, Malvern House English Academy, W1D 7EA (April 2009 - Sept 2009)
Study Supervisor, Oxford International College, OX1 2EP (Jan 2008 - April 2008)
Part-time Private Tutor, History, English, Economics, Sociology, etc; July 2009 - Present
Tutoring Approach:
I have a really positive, can-do attitude to teaching, based partly around my own enthusiasm for the subjects I teach and partly around the fact that I genuinely love teaching and enjoy it immensely. I believe that even the driest and most prosaic subject matter can be brought to life with a bit of energy, imagination, and humour, and even the most complicated problems can be made digestible with careful planning and a creative approach. I try to make my lessons enjoyable and engaging; nothing inhibits learning more than boredom or apathy.
