Abigail - Oxford tutor






Information About Abigail:


Personal Description:

I am a qualified teacher with three years experience of teaching in schools, and one year's experience of private tutoring (see below).



Teaching Experience:

Since Sept 2008, I have tutored as my primary occupation. I tutored 16 pupils over the 2008-9 academic year. In the 2009 exams, more than half of my GCSE pupils were awarded an A or A* grade, and two thirds of my A level students were awarded an A, B or C grade. All my pupils expressed satisfaction with the tuition received.

From Sept 2006- Aug 2008 I taught full-time at Lord Williams's school, Thame. I taught science at Key Stage 3, Core and Additional Science GCSEs and AS level Chemistry (OCR).
Exam Results:
40% of my AS level Chemistry students achieved grade B or above in 2007.
75% of my GCSE science students achieved on or above their statistical target grade in 2008 .
89% of my Key Stage 3 SATs pupils achieved on or above their statistical target grade in 2007.

From Nov 2004- Aug 2005 I taught part-time at the School of St Helen and St Katherine, Abingdon (a temporary appointment to cover maternity leave). I taught science at Key Stage 3, and AS and A2 Chemistry (OCR Salters).
Exam Results:
All of my AS and A2 students achieved at least a grade C, with the majority achieving A or B grades.



Tutoring Approach:

I take an individualised approach to tutoring, depending on the student's needs. I can offer help with school-set homework, and/ or teach and set questions on specific areas that a student finds difficult, or I can offer revision sessions covering the whole of the specification prior to an examination.
