Celina

I grew up in the country side and went to a boarding school, called Woldingham School, at the age of 11. After doing Biology, Economics, Art and Geography A levels I went onto Exeter university. Here I studied Geography and received a second class degree. After university, I went to Garden House School supposedly just for a short time before going on my travels. After a term, I realised that teaching was the obvious career for me.

Having been in a classroom teaching 5-11 year olds I feel I know what keeps a child's attention and what does not. Although I might not always get this right, I am able to evaluate the situation and change my angle to make sure the child stays focused.

Another aspect I feel is integral for teaching is using interactive features and getting the children to learn actively.

Online tutoring is an exciting and modern approach which I believe could be perfect for young children who enjoy using technology. For example, from my classroom experience, the moment a child is allowed to use the whiteboard is when they are much more focused. After a little guidance on using the program I am certain they will enjoy more technological and interactive lessons.

When not tutoring I enjoy being outside, playing tennis and walking in the country side. When it is raining, I enjoy getting creative with my millinery hobby - making hats and fascinators.
