Lorna - Birmingham tutor






Information About Lorna:


Personal Description:

I am an enthusiastic and confident teacher. I enjoy sharing my knowledge and skills with others, and inspiring them to want to learn. I am able to support students to identify their strengths and weaknesses and to work on these in order to reach their full potential.



Teaching Experience:

I have worked for four years as a class teacher (including one year training through the Graduate Teacher Programme), with most of my experience being in Key Stage 2. I have taught all subjects at primary level, although my subject specialisms are Music and Modern Foreign Languages.
I have also worked as a postgraduate teacher for undergraduate students, delivering courses on Italian literature, film and social studies.



Tutoring Approach:

With primary school children, I aim to make learning fun and to help children realise how much they can achieve. I provide tailored lessons to suit individual children's needs and can support children to prepare for KS2 SATs examinations.

With older students, I encourage students to identify areas in which they need support and work to develop skills according to individual needs. When teaching languages, I include aspects of reading, writing, speaking and listening in all lessons and can provide an extra focus on any of these areas as necessary.
