Information About Ellie:

Personal Description:

I am a student reading law at the University of Birmingham. I have an excellent academic record from one of the top grammar schools in the country (Sutton Girls). I have A-levels in English (B) and History (A) and GCSEs in Maths (A*) and Music (A). I also take singing lessons privately and can play a number of instruments to a sufficient standard to assist in general primary level music teaching.

Teaching Experience:

I have 2 years experience of being a general assistant in a private maths and english tutor group. I have no other official teaching experience but I have worked with children in a number of capacities including leadership roles and I am highly competent in the above subjects at the levels offered.

Tutoring Approach:

For primary level children, I can offer supplementary tutoring to complement formal education in maths and am willing to extend this to assistance in preparation for KS2 SATs. In music, I offer teaching of the reading of music in the context of various instruments; this will include a rudimentary understanding of key and time signatures. Reading music is an underrated skill that may come in useful in unexpected situations. It would, of course, also greatly assist the learning process of any child considering learning a musical instrument.

For GCSE-level, I offer syllabus-specific tutoring in preparation for GCSEs. Preferred exam boards are AQA for English and OCR for History but I will consider alternatives if requested.

Please note that where tutoring is for exams, I may charge an extra fee for any materials needed such as practise exam papers.

I acknowledge that I do not have much in the way of qualifications, however I have worked with children in many capacities including tutoring and while I am young, my age has generally been an advantage in terms of relating to young people. All the subjects I am offering are those which I have great interest in and have studied very recently. My fees are low to compensate for my lack of professional experience, but this is not a reflection on the quality of the services I offer.

Qualifications:

• GCSE Maths A*
• GCSE Music A
• A-level History A
• A-level English Literature B
