LoginLaura - Belfast tutor
Information About Laura:
Personal Description:
I am an easy-going person able to relate to all ages, and have extensive experience in one to one tutoring, classroom teaching, teaching to learners whose first language is not English, and teaching (creative writing and drama) to vulnerable groups. I have an MA in Arts in the Community which has qualified me to teach individuals or groups such as unemployed, homeless etc. I work part time as a creative writing tutor for an online diploma, and am a published journalist in publications including The Guardian. I have just published my first novel which is receiving excellent reviews.
[Please note that until further notice I can accept online tutees only.]
Teaching Experience:
2 years TEFL in Japan - classroom English teaching and 1:1 conversation skills teaching
6 months teaching English language and/or literature in France to university students
1 year working as a creative writing co-ordinator with homeless people; organised a theatre project
Currently working as an online tutor for a creative writing diploma
Tutoring Approach:
I have a wide range of specialist subjects and can tutor on a variety of levels - from tutoring in A level English to helping someone with their novel to helping someone to read.
I have had excellent testimonials from my creative writing students, who have said I always go the extra mile to help.
I think my main advantage, apart from my qualifications and experience, is my approach - I am laid back and not a difficult to approach academic, yet I will always strive to do the best for my students and am very highly qualified. I am particularly good at working with teenagers.
Please note that until further notice I can accept online tutees only.
