Information About Elizabeth:

Personal Description:

I studied at Cambridge University, where I graduated with an Honours degree in Natural Sciences. During this time I specialised in Plant Sciences, and was awarded first class passes for my literature review, Calcium-permeable Channels of the Root-hair Plasma Membrane and Their Roles in Polar Tip Growth and my dissertation, An Investigation into the Subcellular Localisation of Aminoacyl-tRNA Synthetases and Pseudouridine Synthase.

After completing my degree, I gained a Post-Graduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) from Roehampton University. During this time I undertook specialist studies into The Importance of Creativity in the Teaching and Learning of Primary Science. I trained at two schools: one in central London and one in Wimbledon.

Teaching Experience:

I have been working as a private tutor for the last four years, teaching mathematics and science to pupils up to and including GCSE. I also worked for a local tutoring centre where I taught groups of maths students.

Prior to becoming a tutor, I worked as a class teacher at St. Nicholas' School, Church Crookham. Whilst there, I coordinated Science in the Junior School and assisted in the Music Department: teaching classes, working with ensembles and participating in concerts.

In addition to teaching in schools, I have also worked for the Cove based charity Parity for Disability, the national charity The Newman Holiday Trust and the Horticulture Therapy charity, Thrive. In my roles with these charities, I have gained experience of working with children and adults who have multiple physical disabilities and behavioural and learning difficulties. As a fully qualified teacher I hold a current, valid CRB check.

Tutoring Approach:

I firmly believe that learning should be an enjoyable and rewarding experience. None of us are perfect at everything and sometimes we need someone to give us a bit of a leg up when it comes to mastering a subject. My aim is to provide pupils with a personalised learning programme that will help them to reach their full potential and achieve the results they are really capable of.

Qualifications:

• PGCE
• BAHons(Cantab) Natural Sciences
