Information About Emily:

Personal Description:

My name is Emily and I am 20 years old. I studied at Newstead Wood School for Girls, Orpington, where I gained all A / A* grades at GCSE and studied French, Music and Religious Studies at A Level, for which I received the grades A, A, B respectively, including 96% for French. Alongside this, I have grade 8 violin, grade 7 piano and grade 5 music theory, all with distinction. During my school years, I was a member of the Bromley Youth Chamber and Symphony Orchestras, both of which I led.

Because of my age, I am aware of what is currently being taught in schools, and what is expected of students in French and music in particular. I have a passion for teaching and am fun, friendly and cheerful. I understand the difficulties faced by students in large classes, who do not always receive the attention they need, and I feel it is important to address this issue. I have chosen to tutor French and music because these are my areas of expertise and the subjects about which I am most passionate. I have just finished a year studying Music and French at Sheffield University, for which I received a 2.1 mark. However, I have decided to pursue music performance and am now taking a gap year in order to apply to Music College.

As I do not drive, I prefer to tutor from home. However, I am happy to travel a reasonable walking distance to the tutee's home if required and am also willing to tutor online if preferred. I understand that choosing a tutor is a difficult decision to make, therefore I would be happy to meet with people so they are able to make an informed decision.

Teaching Experience:

During the academic year 2005-06 I mentored academically gifted Year 2 students in English and maths at Tubbenden Infant School, Orpington. I taught the children individually and was teaching skills beyond those being taught in the classroom and setting and marking assignments.

Tutoring Approach:

My skills would be best applied in helping tutees improve in aspects of work with which they are struggling as well as challenging more able students to learn more advanced skills and deepen their knowledge of the subject. I will also proof read any work or coursework as well as helping the tutee to improve it if necessary and I will help tutees develop revision techniques if appropriate. My approach would aim to maximise the tutee's understanding of their topic or subject with minimum stress.

Qualifications:

• A Level Music - A grade; A Level French - A grade; grade 8 violin with distinction; grade 7 piano with distinction; grade 5 theory of music with distinction.
