Lauren - Godalming tutor






Information About Lauren:


Personal Description:

I am a friendly, experienced tutor who has been tutoring for 20 years both privately, for private tuition companies and within school.

I enjoy playing golf in my spare time and going to the gym.

I have a dog and a cat and three children.



Teaching Experience:

I hold a teaching degree in KS2/KS3 with English and a BA honours degree from Roehampton University in Education. I have also completed my postgraduate studies in early years teaching. In 2012 I opened a tuition centre in Battersea where I specialised in teaching maths, English and the 11+ to children of all ages and abilities. I sold the business in 2019 to pursue tutoring privately from home so I could work alongside raising my children.

I have been tutoring for 20 years. I have also worked in primary and secondary schools with children of all abilities. I have worked for private tuition centres as a maths and English tutor for the last 10 years. I have worked for two of the largest providers of private tuition currently in the UK. I have experience of teaching children in a class based setting teaching all National Curriculum subjects.

I managed an after school tuition centre in London for 7 years. I have been working as a private home tutor now for many years and often work with the same families for many years. I am extremely dedicated to the wellbeing of every child I teach and the parents of the children I currently work with have received very positive end of year school reports.

A recent testimonial from one of my current families:

Can highly recommend Lauren. She has tutored my twins in maths since January and they have improved tremendously. In fact they quite enjoyed their SAT exams thanks to Lauren. What I love about her is that my children laugh with her and really look forward to seeing her, so much so that we are continuing with the tuition now that their confidence has boosted! Cant praise her enough, shes wonderful!'



Tutoring Approach:

I am a really friendly, approachable person who finds it easy to build up a good rapport with people of all ages. One of my goals of private tutoring is to ensure that all children gain enthusiasm and confidence in their subject. I have worked with many children who lack confidence and giving those children a boost in their confidence often brings about a new level of enthusiasm towards the subject and a better understanding of the subject.

My first session with a tutee will involve getting to know the individual child and conducting an assessment so that I can see any gaps the child may have. It is important in the first few sessions to build a trusting relationship with the child so that they feel comfortable working with me. From this initial session I will then work with the child with any maths or English support they need. I prepare worksheets, stories, test papers and other resources for every session as my lessons are tailored to suit the individual child. I usually try to incorporate interactive learning activities for the students as this makes the learning experience more fun!
