Information About Damaris:

Personal Description:

I am a Social Science graduate who's passionate about languages, psychology and the social sciences. I enjoy keeping up to date with research in the fields I'm interested in and one of my medium term goals is to undertake research (PhD) in Sociology. I'm genuinely interested in people and I like helping others to develop their full potential, which is the main reason why I chose to go into academic tutoring.

Teaching Experience:

I have 4 years of teaching experience, both privately and as part of voluntary work I undertook. i taught Spanish and Catalan to immigrants in Barcelona, helping them pass language school exams and prepare them for job interviews. During my last year at university and first year of postgraduate study, I tutored first year undergraduate students in Sociology, Anthropology, Psychology and Spanish. My tutoring work included preparation for exams and help with essay writing. I particularly enjoy this last aspect, and all my tutees improved their grades by at least 1 point! I have also successfully helped students with two dissertations in Business and Management.

Tutoring Approach:

I believe learning can be an enjoyable experience that can boost your self-confidence and belief in yourself. I very much prefer to talk about 'learning' than about 'studying', since I put more weight on the experience of learning by itself as natural part of your daily life. I'm confident I can make you enjoy learning and discovering interesting things about your subject. Try it, you have lots to gain!
