LoginGalahitiyawe Vajira - Oxford tutor
Information About Galahitiyawe Vajira:
Personal Description:
I'm a 22 year old Sri Lankan undergraduate student. I was brought up in a British run International school back in Sri Lanka and hence fluent in English. I have studied geography at both GCSE and GCE ALs. At the moment I'm in going on my final year (2008/2009), reading a degree (BSc) in Physical Geography and Geography, at Oxford Brookes University. I am currently working as a student ambassador for the Royal Geographic Society and hence been CRB checked and cleared. I am also an active member of the Oxford conservation volunteers (OCV) group. Apart from these activities, as a sport, I play cricket for the Wolvercote Club registered under the Oxfordshire cricket association.
Teaching Experience:
During the summer vacations, when I go back to Sri Lanka, I usually help the students in my old school with GSCE and GCE AS/AL preparations by providing them after school geography lessons. I also have experience working with young students via the Royal Geographic Society ambassador scheme.
Tutoring Approach:
Would construct the teaching notes using the current geography syllabus taking into account the student needs as well. Current world affairs and situations would be integrated as much as possible when building case studies. Case studies would be used as much as possible to enhance student thinking and application of theories and models.
