Information About Katherine:

Personal Description:

My name is Katherine Nobbs, and I'm a 26-year old graduate currently living in London. I am employed full-time by the European Centre for Minority Issues, a minority rights advocacy organization, where responsibilities range from coordination of major publications to conflict resolution work in European neighbourhood states, such as Kosovo and Georgia. I also receive funding from the University of Cambridge to act as a consultant on individual projects.

I have spent five years in higher education and have studied in depth a range of subjects, notably, politics, government, international relations and law. I have performed to a consistently high standard in all areas and at all stages of my academic career.

I have also debated in competitions at national and international level.

Teaching Experience:

While I have no formal teaching experience, I have spent over 60 hours leading seminars at university level.

I have also taught debating classes to students of the College of Law and the Middle Temple.

Tutoring Approach:

I am passionate about the subjects I have studied and would relish the opportunity of engaging with students at all levels. I pride myself on being well-prepared for new challenges and would approach tutoring with the same dedication and enthusiasm that I have applied to other areas of my academic and professional life.

I believe that a good tutor should understand the challenges of approaching a new subject, or of mastering an old one, and encourage and stimulate their student accordingly. I do not believe in an approach to education that criticises rather than rewards. If a student was unresponsive, I would endeavour to find new approaches that spoke to the individual more directly. In cases where a student grasped the material readily, I would be delighted to stretch her or his capabilities with more complex material, even if this was slightly outside the relevant curriculum, although this would of course be pending the approval of their parent or guardian.
