Information About Jennifer:

Personal Description:

I graduated from the University of Leeds with a degree in Mathematics in 2002.
I studied English (both language and literature) to A Level and continue to enjoy an interest in that subject. As I am not as qualified in English or Reading & Writing, that is reflected in my prices.
I am comfortable and effective working with children, youth and adults, having a history of paid and voluntary experience that has included working with a wide range of people.

Please note with regard to the CRB check below - I have been checked and cleared in the past, I just do not have a very recent check (c. 3 years old).

Teaching Experience:

I have tutored several young people of different ages and at different stages of their education. While I do not have any formal teaching qualifications, I enjoy working one on one to help individuals overcome their particular difficulties with a subject or to help them grow in confidence if that has been knocked down.

Tutoring Approach:

I am keen to ensure that I don't cause confusion for anyone I tutor! To that end, I spend the first session finding out how they are currently taught (what text books and methods their teachers use, or in the case of adult education outside structured setting, what they have previously learnt). Particularly in the area of Maths, there are multiple ways to teach the same topic - which is very useful when a student struggles but means it is necessary to find out more than just the name of a topic that they struggle with.
Once a tutee and I are used to each other and I know more about the areas they struggle with, I prepare problems in advance of the session that we can go through together, first teaching them and then the tutee doing the problems. If they have recently had homework or tests returned that they are not happy with, we can go through those as well to pick up on any problems.

Qualifications:

• BSc (Hons) Mathematics
• A Level in Combined English
