Heather: United Kingdom: Oct 01, 2024

I have four years of experience as a freelance English tutor for GCSE and A-level students. Through this work, I have learnt how to work one-on-one with students and tailor my lessons to the specific needs of students, teaching me how to be adaptable and responsive to different learning styles. Tutoring has also helped me develop my time-management and organisation skills as I have had to create lesson plans within a specific timeframe while balancing my other responsibilities. All these skills will help me maintain structure within a classroom and create a positive learning environment. I believe my role as a teacher will be to create a supportive environment where every student feels comfortable expressing themselves and asking questions, motivating them to learn. I am an empathetic, creative and patient individual which I believe will help me foster strong relationships with students and create engaging lessons. I also can adapt to situations quickly and have excellent problem-solving skills alongside strong verbal and oral communication skills. This combination of experience, skills and personality will make me an effective ESL teacher.
