Experience
I am currently working with lots of students within west London - and with a wide range of English, French and German needs. Most recently I have tutored a modern languages student in preparation for his Oxford interview in German. I have also prepared a young boy for his prep school entrance exams for English. Having boarded whilst my parents lived abroad when I was younger I also have experience in mentoring those who have to make a transition to boarding and a new school.
Biography
I was educated at Prior Park Prep School in Wiltshire and went on to gain a music scholarship to The Cheltenham Ladies' College in Gloucestershire up until the age of 18 years. During my school years I worked hard in all areas of school life; from academia to music, sport and theatrical pursuits. In my final year I held the position of a Committee Prefect, Head of the College Choir and took to the stage in the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
After a gap year of working in Austria and Turkey, as a ski and sailing instructor, I went on to read Joint Honours French and German at Bristol University. I had four fantastic years of study in Bristol, with a year living and studying abroad in Hanover and Aix-en-provence. My studies ranged from literature and philosophy to modern day politics. I was also President of an international business organisation for graduates called AIESEC which allowed me to gain considerable experience in running a business and I managed to attend conferences across Europe.
I left university with a 2:1 BA Hons and a double first in spoken French and German. Since then I have worked in the city, and I am now working as a freelance tutor. I feel strongly about education and enjoy the one-to-one tuition that tutoring offers. I particularly enjoy sharing my passion for French and German, and unearthing a new found interest and stimulation within a tutee.
Personal Approach
A child’s education is a pivotal investment for their future; school can be a difficult environment to adapt to, and the classroom a daunting place for a young person to settle into. Strong characters can often overpower other pupils who are shy, or lacking in confidence, whilst weak marks can leave a child feeling despondent and powerless. The ratio of pupils per teacher often means that a child does not get the attention they need to progress and perform at their optimum level.
Tutoring offers an alternative avenue whereby a child can experience one-to-one tuition to build confidence in both their school and extracurricular life. Each child is an individual with varying strengths and weaknesses, and I believe that tutoring gives a child the specific attention and level of teaching that they deserve. Having recently finished my modern languages degree, and completed over a decade of examinations, I believe I can offer a fresh approach to a child’s learning. I hope to achieve this by drawing upon my own experiences at school, where stimulation and creativity in the classroom were essential to my academic success. Further to this, I wish to use my natural energy and enthusiasm for the subjects I have studied to inspire confidence and intellectual interest in a child, so that they will enjoy a successful and bright future throughout their academic life.
