Sarah - Reading tutor






Information About Sarah:


Personal Description:

I am 20 years old and currently studying Natural Sciences at Cambridge University. At A-level I studied Maths, Physics, Chemistry and German. During my gap year I travelled to Bavaria to spend three months at language school gaining fluency in German.

I am enthusiastic about my subjects, and have always enjoyed imparting confidence and understanding to others that find these subjects difficult.



Teaching Experience:

I have no formal teaching experience, but have long practice tutoring friends and family in Maths and Science and preparing people for exams, both in one-off lessons and on a weekly basis. I have helped two friends pass maths GCSE (one on her second attempt) and a family member pass AS level Physics. During sixth form I helped out in younger year science lessons and during my time in Germany I tutored a German businessman who wanted to improve his English.



Tutoring Approach:

My approach to tutoring is to be entirely student centered and to focus my lessons on to students' particular needs. My patient, relaxed attitude soon puts people at ease. Even in my short experience I have been amazed how big a difference one-to-one tutoring can make to students left behind in classes of thirty or so pupils. Having only recently left the education system I have a good understanding both of the subject material and what examiners are looking for. I am well able to tutor gifted students, having passed the Ox-bridge interviews, but most of my experience has been with those who struggle, helping students to understand difficult concepts for the first time.
