Jacky - Shanklin tutor






Information About Jacky:


Personal Description:

I am a Mum of three grown up children, 2 dogs and a cat. I live in Shanklin but have travelled and worked in many countries.
I enjoy teaching and meeting new people. I love walking in the surrounding countryside and along the beaches. I enjoy reading and cinema and theatre.
I find baking a relaxing hobby and am interested in learning about mythology and historic sites, especially castles and manor houses.



Teaching Experience:

I taught for many years for the Isle of Wight College International Department. I taught EFL groups from beginner to proficiency levels.
I have been a volunteer for the Syrian resettlement program giving weekly English classes.

For the past 5 years I have been working as a self employed tutor for LAC and home-schooled children who are out of school for some reason. Many of these children have autism and/or ADHD.



Tutoring Approach:

I thoroughly enjoy working with children who are struggling in the school system and trying to make a difference to their confidence about their abilities. Many have very low self esteem and I believe working on this first is key to improving their engagement with academic work.
I feel I am able to create a good rapport with students and always take the lead from them as to how much to expect in a lesson.
