Claire - Tarbert tutor






Information About Claire:


Personal Description:

I am a fully qualified Primary teacher. For the past two years I have been living in Japan teaching ESL, my youngest students were two and my eldest students were 83. I met and taught a wide range of people which always made my teaching experiences interesting and fun. I am fun and friendly, I take teaching English seriously but always adapt and present the lesson to each student differently in order to make it as fun as possible but with maximum learning output for each student.



Teaching Experience:

I studied Primary Education for four years, during this time I had many placements in primary schools around Scotland.
I taught as a qualified teacher for one year in Dumfries and Galloway.
I worked in Japan for two years, I spent one year teaching in a private English conversation school in the north of Japan. My youngest student being two and the eldest eighty three. Here I taught group lessons of up to four people. I also did special travel and tourism lessons preparing students who were going to study abroad.
I then spent six months as a lead teacher in an international preschool, here I taught all academic subjects through english to Japanese children. English was there second language.



Tutoring Approach:

I have a very fun and friendly approach as I like to make the atmosphere of the lesson as relaxed as possible. I feel that if the teacher and student are both relaxed learning will be more effective, however I do take teaching seriously. I will adapt all lessons to the individual student and more than welcome feedback, be it positive or negative. In order to adapt the next lesson for the student.
