Information About William:

Personal Description:

I am a 22 year old graduate of the University of Leeds (rated the fifth best English department in the UK), I graduated with a 2:1 Ba(hons) in English Language. English is not only my academic interest but also a great passion of mine; I am especially interested in dialectology and Child Linguistics but have an extensive range of skills. My command of the English vocabulary and the grammar system is superb. I am based in Maidstone but am willing to travel and have family in Ashford. I work in the Medway area so can visit you here after work.

Teaching Experience:

As a 22 year old my experience in this field is not vast, but I have had experience in a volunteer capacity at my former Primary school and also aided my younger brother with his 11-Plus (Grammar School entrance exam) and his GCSEs. I also have a number of very young cousins and am good with children. At university I partook in the peer mentor scheme.

Tutoring Approach:

My approach to tutoring is one of structured, organised teaching based around the needs of the individual pupil. I aim to focus on the pupil's weak areas and strengthen these whilst adding to their general knowledge of the subject by widening the reach of the teaching alongside the core focus. The teaching I offer is both fun and interactive; I know from experience that if the teaching is not engaging then learning can be a dull affair, making one reluctant to learn. I would set homework as I felt it was necessary - for example grammar exercises if I felt the pupil needed to strengthen what they'd learnt in the lesson. I would also ask that all pupils read their notes between lessons in order that they recall what they've learnt and that lessons can progress smoothly without revisiting previous week's topics unnecessarily.

Qualifications:

• GCSE: A* in Engligh Language and in Literature
• A Levels: A in English Language/Literature
