Lowri - Dagenham tutor
Information About Lowri:
Personal Description:
I qualified as a journalist in 2011 and have since been occupying my time with freelance writing in conjunction with building my own web-site and more recently, PR Agency. I have a keen eye for sentence structure and recognise when a piece of work is lacklustre or is simply not conveying the important elements with clarity. Furthermore, I enjoy clean copy and therefore have the capabilities to perfect a clumsily executed piece of work without hindering the individuals own sense of style and unique expression. I take the aforementioned sense of loyalty very seriously, as I do not wish to encroach on an individual's distinctive writing technique by over- influencing the piece with my own style. This is where my ability to understand and digest tone comes in to its own. I will edit a piece of work while maintaining its identity as belonging to the individual who produced it and therefore, I work to merely repair the broken elements without obstructing the original integrity behind writing the piece in the first place.
Gained A, B in A-level's English Literature and Language respectively
Teaching Experience:
Tutored in University assisting second language speakers with essay writing technique and research. Taught English as a second language in India and Nepal. Currently tutoring a 4-year old girl, with whom I re-read classroom texts and make sure that she has understood the content. I use a mixture of phonetics, verbal and written practise as well as visual prompts to encourage her. She has made vast improvements.
Tutoring Approach:
As a a native speaker, you would benefit from my natural flare for words and be inspired to increase your own vocabulary and command of this beautiful language. I would encourage individuals to learn a new word everyday, read as much as possible and listen to story tapes and set texts in audio format. I would inspire in them the confidence to believe in their skills and help them to develop a love for a language that until now, perhaps they were otherwise unsure about. Discipline is a crucial part of learning and therefore I would insist that the student practises his/her area off weakness as frequently as is possible and where appropriate I would set additional homework.
