Information About Katherine:

Personal Description:

I am an English graduate from Durham University. I have recently completed the Teach First scheme, where I have been working in an inner city London school for 2 years. I am staying in my current school for a further term and then I am off travelling to see the world (well some of it!) I love visiting new places and am very excited about going away. I love Literature and read avidly. I am outgoing and friendly and truly have a passion for teaching. At the end of my travelling adventures I am going to work in a school in Africa. I think education is very important and want to contribute to the lives of children who don't always receive the best education.

Teaching Experience:

I have been working in an all boys secondary school in Peckham for two years and am currently there for a further term. I have done a placement in a girls school as well as a sixth form college. I regularly have revision classes for my own pupils, normally on a one to one basis or in a small group. I find this very different to the usual classroom environment! (its a lot quieter!)

Tutoring Approach:

I enjoy working with pupils on a one- to - one basis as you get the opportunity to see them develop and get the results they are trying so hard for. I believe that learning should be fun and therefore my planned lessons normally include some personal learning time e.g. learning about a new "cool" poet (can poetry be cool?!) or spending 5/ 10 minutes reading about what the pupil really wants to know about English. I then would prefer to work on areas my pupil is struggling with at school, be that grammar, or spelling or sentence structure etc. I will correct homework and essays etc with notes and suggestions, but very rarely set tutoring homework.

Qualifications:

• Qualified Teaching Status (passed with Very Good)
• BA English and Education 2.1 (Durham university)
• A-levels in English, History, French and Performance Studies
