I am currently a private tutor for both maths and history. I have worked with students aged 7-16 ranging in ability. I am experienced in guiding students through multiple curriculums from SATS to GCSE. I am skilled in using creative teaching aids, including online aids such as ‘Kahoot!’ and ‘Google Classroom’, with a belief that creative and immersive tasks are highly beneficial for students’ development. Most importantly, I have always striven to ensure that I create safe and secure learning environments for my students, through being patient and empathetic with students’ needs. These are environments where students’ feel confident to express ideas and unlock their full academic potential.

Having previously relocated during the pandemic and lived in Hong Kong for a year (2021-2022), I am a resilient and adaptable traveller. I studied East Asian Studies at the Chinese University of Hong Kong whilst thoroughly enjoyed immersing myself in the local culture, beauty, and lifestyle of my new environment. Your school’s objective: ‘to instill in children the ability to think, act, and dream in English’ is an exciting one that resonates with my own teaching ethos, and I believe my adaptable personality and openminded approach to teaching would suit your schools. I would love the opportunity to provide some of my transferable tutoring skills, (as detailed above and on my CV attached), to your exciting project and welcome the challenge of transitioning from a tutoring context to a classroom context.

I have obtained my TEFL level 5 diploma, with notable strengths in lesson planning and resource creation for all four language skills, as well as learning a variety of teaching techniques (especially for teaching vocabulary and grammar).
