Susannah - Nailsea and Backwell tutor






Information About Susannah:


Personal Description:

I am 23 years old, and I'm studying for a PhD in Politics at the University of Manchester. I passed my Masters with distinction (in International Politics) last year, and also hold a First Class BA degree in Politics and Modern History. I am passionate about education and my subject and want to help pass on my skills to others. Outside of University I run a project with local homeless people in Manchester and like working with different types of people.



Teaching Experience:

I have three months experience as a tutor at the University of Manchester, teaching international politics to undergraduate students. This involved leading group discussions and learning exercises, as well as holding one-to-one sessions on a weekly basis. I gave extra guidance sessions around exam time, and was responsible for marking and giving feedback on assessed work.

In terms of private one-on-one tuition I have experience tutoring several students in English, including adult literacy, GCSE and non-native learners. I am confident in my ability to adapt to different learning styles.



Tutoring Approach:

I have a flexible approach which is student-centred. I believe that each person learns differently, and before tutoring I would have an informal chat about which approach would suit the student. I would then tailor exercises and feedback as appropriate. I think that students should get as much feedback as possible to show where they are progressing.
