Personal Description:
Iain was born in 1986 in Dundee, Scotland into a large musical family, so unsurprisingly making music was all that he wanted to do from an early age. He first began to learn the trumpet in school aged seven, before joining his local brass band Dundee Instrumental on cornet at the age of ten. By the age of twelve, Iain had been promoted to principal cornet, a position he later went on to hold with several of Scotland's top bands, also including the National Youth Brass Band of Scotland. Many solo competitions were won along the way - including the junior section at the British Open Solo Championships at age eleven. Having gained two Trinity College diplomas before the age of eighteen, Iain took the advice of teacher David James and moved south to study music at the University of Salford, where his playing really began to blossom. Since then Iain has held positions as principal cornet with many of the UK's leading brass bands including his current seat with the world renowned Leyland Band. He has enjoyed many successful contest and concert performances, and is fast establishing a reputation as one of the finest cornet soloists of his generation, performing, adjudicating and giving master-classes as far afield as the USA, Denmark, the Netherlands, and Japan. In 2009 Iain was the recipient of a prestigious Dewar Arts award, awarded for performance in trumpet. This award allowed him to complete his postgraduate studies at Salford, graduating with an MA in Music (performance) in 2010. Iain is now a cornet tutor at the University of Salford where he is also undertaking researchinto focal dystonia in musicians, working towards a PhD. Iain recorded and released his first solo CD entitled "Vanguard" in August 2012, a release which has been met with great critical acclaim and has fast proven popular.

Iain is also an experienced guitarist and teacher of electric and acoustic guitar as well as the bass guitar.

Zoe (Miss)

Personal Description:
I am a flexible individual who is extremely passionate about their subject. Sociology has an essential place within the curriculum as young people need to understand how to interact with one another in this ever changing world. In order for this to take place a high standard of innovative and creative teaching is necessary which I deliver within my teaching practise.

Teaching Experience:
I am currently Subject Leader for Sociology in my school. My determination and perseverance has been made evident during my teaching career, as I have been able to manage resources, in order to facilitate effective learning. I teach AS and A2 Sociology at the moment and have worked with undergraduate students within Keele University on gathering social research. I have also put on a range of conferences in sixth forms within the Staffordshire area.

Tutoring Approach:
My teaching style is very varied as I use a range of different pedagogical techniques within my teaching practise. Individuals learn in different ways so it is important to try alternative ways of teaching to identify which method works best. Exam technique is very important in the lead up to exams as many students focus on their knowledge without applying it to the question in hand. Therefore I believe that exam technique is an area which needs a significant amount of attention during the run up to exams.

Marybeth (Mrs)
Subjects: French  |  English (Foreign Language)  |  Japanese  
Availability: Weekends / Weekdays (evenings)
Types of Tutoring: Travels to you / From their home / Online
View Marybeth's profileMarybeth private tuition profile or  Quick View

Personal Description:
I studied French and Japanese as part of my degree in Applied Language and Translation Studies at Dublin City University and Kyoto University of Foreign Studies. As part of my degree, I also studied linguistics, and how to learn languages most effectively, given how the brain retains language. I have also taken the Irish Leaving Cert Japanese exam (A-Level equivalent) and Japanese Language Proficiency tests, so I have plenty of resources geared towards exams if that is your goal. If you are a more casual learner I am happy to make the lessons more fun and conversational, based on your preferences :)

Teaching Experience:
This year, I have taught my younger brother a 2 year higher level Japanese syllabus in 6 months for his Leaving Certificate exams, as he only found out in January there was a foreign language requirement for the course he wants to take in university. This was achieved through clever resources and study plan. With only 6 months tuition (one quarter of the usual 2 year syllabus time), my brother passed higher level Japanese with a grade equalling between 50-60%.

Other language teaching experience:
While in Japan I taught Japanese students English as a Foreign Language, from ages 4 to 20; in Ireland I gave casual English lessons to a Lithuanian woman who already had conversational English, but wanted to better understand certain English grammatical points; I also have a TEFL 160 course to teach English as a Foreign Language.

Other teaching experience:
I teach beginners piano every week from home.

Tutoring Approach:
Using the concepts learned in my Linguistics degree for language learning (L+1, Optimised Intervals for Repetition and Content Exposure for Memorisation Incentive), we will put a study plan in place with clever resources to ensure language learning is both fun and effective! We want our lessons to be so effective that we spend less time studying, and more time learning :)


Qualifications:
TEFL 160 hour course
B.A. in Applied Linguistics and Translation Studies (French and Japanese)
