Information About Daisy-May:

Personal Description:

Having gained three A grades at A Level, and a further two AS, I studied English Literature, Film Studies and Drama at The University of Manchester. From here I went on to study at the London Film Academy where I graduated with a Distinction in Film Making and at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts where I studied Directing. I have subsequently qualified to teach English as a foreign language (TFL accredited by the University of Kingston).

Outside of teaching, I am co-founder of imaginary friends, a young theatre production company with whom I have written, devised and directed theatre for various London venues. I am interested in history, politics and art. As such, I enjoy visiting galleries, sights of historical interest and museums. I keep up to date with current affairs and campaigns and I love to travel. In 2011 I won the Huss-Smickler Prize for poetry.

Teaching Experience:

My experience as a tutor ranges from KS1 to degree level and I am eager to build a rapport with tutees of all ages and backgrounds. I am comfortable teaching English Literature and Language, History, Creative Writing, Citizenship, Government and Politics, Critical Thinking, Film Studies, Drama and Maths. I have also coached many pupils in preparation for the 7, 8 and 11 plus exams. Recently I have been working full time in primary school, preparing Year 6 pupils for the SATS examinations.

Tutoring Approach:

I am a friendly and thorough tutor, committed to unlocking the potential that lies in every student. To do so I feel it is important to create bespoke lesson plans and learning strategies, tailored with care and imagination to the specific needs of each tutee.

Rather than supplying a pupil with answers, I will always encourage a pupil to achieve the satisfaction of finding it for themselves. This method is helpful in committing method as well as material to memory and creates students who are confident in their understanding of what they are studying. It also helps me to understand the way in which a pupil thinks so that I may present ideas in a way that is appealing and accessible to them, as well as identify gaps in their knowledge/understanding.

I encourage 'joined-up-thinking' in my pupils with the aim of equipping them to analyse and improve their work independently, apply the skills they have acquired to other areas of study and cultivate a genuine interest in their subject by realising its relevance to the world outside of the classroom.

Qualifications:

• English Literature, Drama and Film BA Hons, 2,1
