Emma - Cardiff tutor






Information About Emma:


Personal Description:

I am a calm, patient and understanding tutor with a sense of humour! I know first hand the difficulty of being under academic pressure and that, sometimes, students just need that extra bit of help. I am currently studying for BA Joint Honours in German and Japanese at Cardiff University. I also studied French and Spanish at a selective girls' school in Wolverhampton, and have obtained a year 1 certificate in British Sign Language. I have, as you may be able to tell, always been interested in languages, and feel that they come naturally to me.



Teaching Experience:

I was a peer mentor in sixth form, tutoring younger girls in their language studies, such as German and Japanese. I also tutored in a neighbouring school for pupils who were either having difficulty with their current French or German studies, or wished to learn some Japanese. More recently I also taught Japanese as part of a summer school scheme for Primary School leavers - they all responded well and I found it a fun and rewarding experience.



Tutoring Approach:

I have completed a course in Teaching English as a Foreign Language, or TEFL, and learnt to use various teaching methods and strategies. I feel it is important to incorporate fun in any lesson and to help improve the student's confidence in their studies - if they enjoy it, they are more likely to excel in what they do.
