During my time in a school, I taught Year 7-11 GCSE Maths, Year 11 GCSE and Year 12-13 A-Level Economics. Alongside classroom teaching, I carried out a number of smaller, focused group or one-to-one sessions to help students really understand any theory they were struggling with in lessons or to push them beyond this level to reach the top grades.

In addition to my in-school experience, I have tutored Year 4, 5 and 6 English and Maths, Year 7 Maths, Year 10 GCSE Maths, Year 11 GCSE Geography, Year 12 and 13 A-Level Economics and Year 13 A-Level Geography. I have also been working with a Year 13 student on revision skills for RS and History of Art A-Levels.

Biography

I am a Teach First Ambassador and worked in my placement school for three and a half years as a Maths and Economics Teacher. During my time there I was Head of Economics, a Teacher Development Co-ordinator (responsible for teacher training across the school), a member of the Sixth Form Tutor Team (helping students with UCAS, personal statements, organisational skills and subject issues) and part of the school’s Leadership Development Programme.

I am a committed and passionate teacher who strives to build knowledge and interest in subjects through the use of current affairs and theory in practice.

Approach to Tutoring

As a result of teaching a large number of students, both in a classroom and one-to-one setting, I am aware that not one method works for every pupil and therefore have a wide range of resources and techniques for teaching different topics.

I enjoy using current affairs to hook students into a subject before focusing on key content and theory.

When not tutoring

I am currently a full time-tutor.

I very much enjoy living in London and taking the opportunity to go to museums and exhibitions. My favourite museum is the Victoria and Albert Museum.

When I am not teaching, I enjoy spending time cooking and baking.

What clients say about Rose:

“I believe the chemistry between the two is absolutely amazing. I cannot thank you enough for finding her. According to my daughter, Rose is a much better teacher than the teachers at school.”

Mother of 11+ Student

“Rose was a really great teacher. She made Economics surprisingly fun and extremely clear. She gave me confidence whilst challenging me and explained to me where I went wrong, no matter how long it took! Overall, one of the best tutors you could have.”

Year 12 Resit Student

“Rose assisted me in my preparation for Land Economy through mock interview sessions. She is extremely meticulous in her work, planning the mock interview sessions carefully to maximise every minute with me. Her pleasant demeanour makes it easy for me to converse with her, and her probing questions opened up new levels of understanding—an essential skill for the interview. I highly recommend Rose for students looking to pursue Land Economy at Cambridge.”

Mature student

“Mrs Rainsford was incredibly helpful in the short time I had with her before my Edexcel economics exam. Her knowledge of the exam board was invaluable. I couldn't recommend her more highly for anybody having difficulty making the subtle changes needed to secure a top mark in their exams.”

Year 13 Economics Student

“Rose tutored our son for A Level Economics. Her approach was structured and thorough, confirming a deep basic understanding of the fundamental topics before building on this foundation with more detail. Her pleasant, approachable disposition made each session a very positive learning experience.”

Year 13 Edexcel Student

“Excellent tutor with very good knowledge of the subject and the different styles of the exam boards. Great clarity in lessons. Extremely well organised with a good online set-up, screen marking and feedback via interactive platform.”

Year 13 Student

''Rose has been an essential part of my A-level Economics. As an international student, my weak spot has always been essay writing, but with Rose's help, she was able to build up my confidence and helped me secure an A* in my final exam!”

Year 13 Student

“Rose worked with my son for about a year and a half. She was always extremely professional and very knowledgable about her subject. She was flexible in her teaching methods and always adjusted to what my son needed. My son enjoyed working with Rose very much and she helped him to make good progress in Math.”
