Information About Holly:

Personal Description:

I studied English Language and Literature at the University of Liverpool, and graduated with my B.A. Hons. degree in 2006. I currently work part time for Barnardo's Children's Charity, coordinating and managing volunteers, but I also enjoy being able to use my degree and share my enjoyment of English Language and Literature by tutoring outside of my normal working hours. I am cheerful and friendly, with a love of meeting new people, and I have a range of hobbies and interests including swimming, badminton, reading and writing, film, theatre, art and history. I am also the parent of a two-year old girl who shares my love of books and reading!

Teaching Experience:

I am a young professional who has been working as a private tutor for over seven years now, and I find it very enjoyable and rewarding. I have tutored both girls and boys, ranging in ages from 10 to 18 years. In addition to this, I have had experience of working with children and young people of a range of ages through both paid and voluntary roles within the third sector. I have worked as a Play Leader for Lancaster City Council, running a summer play scheme for a group of sixty young people, and as a Student Advocate during my time at university, which involved working on government-funded projects with young people to explore their options for the future. In my current role I am responsible for delivering training to learners both in groups, and on a one-to-one basis.

Tutoring Approach:

As a tutor I am very positive and encouraging, with a strong belief that learning should be as enjoyable as possible for the student. I believe that it is important to take time to gain an understanding of the students' personal interests, in order for the teaching to be tailored to their individual personalities. I am very creative in my lesson preparation and always patient, believing strongly in positive reinforcement and in inspiring an appreciation of the subject being taught.
