My teaching style adapts depending on who I am tutoring. However generally I will ask the student what they think their strengths and weaknesses are. Then I will design tasks to help improve what they feel least confident with, whilst encouraging other skills where appropriate. The most important part of the process is that the student feels comfortable to ask me questions, so I plan regular intervals where we will discuss the topic- to make sure they understand it.

I have been tutoring for almost 3 years now and so far I have only tutored students aged 15-16. Therefore I have mostly tutored students to prepare for their GCSEs. This included tutoring more than one child simultaneously. I am confident to teach N4 and N5 English Literature. I have also tutored a child in primary school previously for a few months. In terms of my personal experience, it has been nothing but pleasant. I really enjoy being about to teach students english, as I really enjoy the topic. It is always exciting when a student understands a topic that you have helped them understand. The experience really helps me feel like I am making a difference.
