Claire - York tutor






Information About Claire:


Personal Description:

I'm young I enjoy life, I love all types of music, the cinema and I enjoy reading. I get on well with people of all ages and backgrounds and absolutely love teaching.



Teaching Experience:

I'm a fully qualified CELTA teacher with ESOL experience of teaching both adults and teenagers from beginner level to advanced.
I have taught full time at a summer school for Italian teenagers which was excellent and I now feel confident teaching teenagers and young people.
I have also taught one to one and found this incredibly rewarding as you see a marked difference in the student's ability.
Currently I am a supply teacher for a language school in York, and although the work is sporadic I enjoy it immensely.



Tutoring Approach:

In my past experiences as a tutor I have found that every student works and wants to learn English differently. Primarily you are there for the student and should always find a way of teaching that suits them. Some of my past students have wanted 30 minutes a day some have wanted seven hours a day. They also may wish to use different resources, for example media or literature, or they may wish to follow a text book. Because of this I always make sure that in our first meeting I ascertain their needs so we can work together well as a team.
I maintain a well balanced student teacher relationship but do feel that because they are one to one lessons you do forge a bond with the student that you wouldn't necessarily forge in a classroom situation.
