Alex - Exeter tutor
Information About Alex:
Personal Description:
I have always enjoyed Religious Studies and Philosophy and really enjoy discussing them with friends and students alike. Both subjects are so diverse and deep and yet they are accessible to all who are interested. As a child I was often a reluctant student so I empathise with those who find school hard and feel that motivation is one of my strengths.
Teaching Experience:
I have been a secondary school RS teacher for 11 years and have been head of department for 8. I also have senior leadership responsibilities. RS is compulsory in the school I teach in so I am experienced in motivating students and in making the content relevant to them. The school is a private comprehensive school and our results in RS have been very high, particularly at GCSE level, usually between 85% and 90% of students in my department achieve at least a grade 4 (equivalent to the old grade C). We have achieved this despite all students being entered for the exams.
Tutoring Approach:
I believe that it is important for students to enjoy learning and that all aspects of my subject can be interesting if taught well and with the needs of the individual students at the heart of the pedagogy.
