Information About Laura:

Personal Description:

I am a 24 year old qualified secondary school teacher living near Old Street in North London.

I am passionate about teaching and about giving young people the best start in life, and realise the importance of achieving well in school and in examinations for young people's future. I find it very rewarding to be able to help young people achieve their full potential and enjoy their studies through successful tutoring.

My interests are current affairs and the arts. I enjoy reading, visiting galleries and sites of cultural heritage and live music. I develop positive, caring relationships with the young people I teach.

Teaching Experience:

I have worked in two outstanding London secondary schools, as both an English teacher and special educational needs class teacher.

I have expertise and experience in working with students with ASD, ADHD, Downs syndrome and global learning delay. I have also successfully taken disaffected and lower achieving students through the AQA GCSE course with great success. I have had experience of working with gifted and talented students, and in supporting them in achieving A and A* grades. Working in London schools I have also taught and supported learning for students for whom English is a second language.

Before beginning my teaching career in the UK I worked as a voluntary English language teacher in India, where I worked to help students improve their conversational English skills and pronunciation.

Tutoring Approach:

Tutoring can be an incredible helpful tool in aiding students to achieve their academic goals, however, it has to be done well to be successful. As a qualified teacher I am aware of the different ways in which students learn and the difficulties they may face. When tutoring, the work and support I provide will be tailored to the needs of the individual, and will support them in gaining independence in achieving their own goals.

Qualifications:

• PGCE secondary English
• 2:1 degree in 'Art and Literature' from the University of East Anglia
