Thomas - Brighton tutor






Information About Thomas:


Personal Description:

My name is Tom. I am a part time Masters student in Social and Political Thought at Sussex University, as well as volunteer co-ordinator for both the Green Party and CSV and musician.

I am an accomplished writer, having written reviews for online magazine Broadwaybaby.com, as well as producing poetry, stories and lyrics. I love music and am an extremely able singer and guitarist. I am also a good cook, love to tell jokes and am extremely passionate about environmental issues.



Teaching Experience:

I have worked with young people in volunteer co-ordination at CSV, where I have been responsible for taking part in community action projects that often require instruction of volunteers. I have also led Green Party instruction in canvassing, data entry and leafleting. I relate extremely well to people who share my interests, and enjoy a job that emotionally rewards and satisfies the mind.

I also have a Performance Certificate in Singing, which makes me qualified to teach this subject. Moreover, I have previously volunteered to assist in the teaching of music students.



Tutoring Approach:

I am happy to teach in the way most suitable for the student, as well as suggest alternative teaching methods such as visits to relevant learning facilities. It is my belief that a change of context can often improve learning.

I also do not believe that a long lecture will suit many pupils. Visual and audial tools should be offered to those who learn well in this way, and I am happy to investigate the possibilities of using them in tutorials. I will happily make tapes/cds for students who want to record lessons for reference. I am a confident and stimulating speaker and will happily chalk and talk if this is a preffered method of teaching too.
