David - Coventry tutor






Information About David:


Personal Description:

I have just finished my Second Year of French Studies at The University of Warwick, I have gotten Firsts in Medieval and Translation modules.
I am twenty years old and have teaching experience with all ages and abilities, I am friendly, smart, well-presented, polite, and very encouraging of any student.
I plan to become a teacher after graduation, and this would be useful experience for me towards this.



Teaching Experience:

I have not long finished the Student Associate Scheme through Warwick University, where I was given teacher training sessions and taught in a local Secondary School. I began by observing lessons alongside teacher training sessions, and later prepared and delivered my own starter activities before teaching whole French lessons to Years 7 and 8.
Also, during this scheme I took intensive language classes for GCSE oral preparation, as well as being an assistant teacher in GCSE Science lessons and the Special Needs Department.



Tutoring Approach:

My approach to tutoring is based around the student, what I plan to do will be to support what the school has already done, reenforce prior knowledge of the subject by going more in depth on a one-to-one basis than could be achieved in school lessons. When I am confident that the student has a very strong knowledge of the foundations of the subject I plan to take them one step further and no more, otherwise I will cause the student to lose interest in school time, which will undo any progress that has been made.
My approach is very active, I like to use lots of different techniques, and try to incorporate visual, oral and kinaesthetic learning techniques into my teaching. Obviously I will focus on the technique which the student finds most effective, however, this does not stop me using a variety of techniques meaning that their memory of what has been taught is reenforced in many different ways.
