Information About Helen:

Personal Description:

I believe that I posses valuable qualities such as creativity, enthusiasm, discipline and overall approachability that will enable me to become an effective tutor.

I am approachable and enjoy working one to one with pupils. Pupils find my open manner engaging; particularly when they are finding English difficult.

I have been lucky enough to travel all over the world and engage with people of varying ages and cultures. This has fuelled my passion to work with people.

Teaching Experience:

Since returning home from New Zealand I immediately signed up with Select Education and I was working in Secondary, Primary and SEN schools in South Yorkshire.Working part time allowed me to spend time tutoring students, I took students requiring additional help for Standards and Highers and helped them through their exams, with great success. I also took younger students requiring additional support.

I completed my PGDE in 2011 and I have been teaching ever since. I enjoy every aspect of my job and I teach all levels from BGE, N3, N4, N5 and Higher. I also mark for SQA at National 5 and Higher for both folio and exams too.

Tutoring Approach:

Throughout my teaching experience I have often worked in one and one situations, and have proven I can work well to encourage students and progress with their learning.

I have worked in many different schools and situations with children and students and I have the ability to adapt to the individual needs of a student to improve their knowledge in their chosen subject(s).

Qualifications:

• PGDE in English from The University of Strathclyde and BA Hons in Literary Studies and Social Sciences from The University of Manchester
• 4 A Levels (BBCC) in English Literature, Geography, Psychology and General Studies
• 10 GCSE's A-C: English Lit and Lang, Maths, Double Award Science, Geography, Frech, Spanish, IT and Food Technology
• I have attended seminars in Behaviour Management, Child Protection, Anti-Bullying and have current First Aid
