LoginSophie - Swindon tutor
Information About Sophie:
Personal Description:
I graduated from Cardiff University this year and I was awarded a Bachelor of Arts (Joint Hons) in Journalism, Film and Media and Sociology, Second Class Honours, Division One (2:1). I am considering returning to education in September 2009 to complete a PGCE and become a teacher, but until then I hope to gain some valuable experience in teaching.
Teaching Experience:
I am currently working as a teaching assistant at local family learning days in and around Swindon. I assist the teacher in teaching both cookery and arts and crafts to children and their parents. For example, I recently taught children and adults to make mosaic tiles with a safari theme in relation to Black History month. Moreover, I have volunteered to help out at Ruskin Junior school in Swindon on several occasions, helping 7 year old children with reading and simple maths.
Tutoring Approach:
I am an approachable and friendly individual with an encouraging approach to tutoring. I believe it is essential that I form a friendly bond with my pupil so he or she feels comfortable asking me questions that to others, the answers may be obvious. When tutoring smaller children, discipline is important to me because without respect, the pupil will be unlikely to take the lesson seriously. However, I do like to bring an element of fun to the lesson and try to be as creative as possible. With older pupils, I feel I am a tutor disguised as a friend, with the emphasis on a relaxed environment in which to learn.
