Information About Emma

Personal Description: I am a 27 year old female with a passion for the outdoors, travelling and creating opportunities and adventures. I enjoy reading, snowboarding, canoeing and dreaming about driving the cars on Top Gear! I am an enthusiastic and outgoing individual which helps me to make my tuition sessions fun and memorable, which in my experience is far more effective in engaging students and enabling learning.

Tutoring Experience: I currently teach adults English as a second language and prior to this spent two and a half years teaching 16-18 year olds in an alternative further education setting. I have specialist experience in teaching those who struggle in mainstream education due to being gifted, having learning needs or presenting with challenging behaviours. I am experienced at teaching all age groups, have a first degree in Philosophy and Politics and have completed a level 5 Diploma in Teaching in the Lifelong Sector. I work to the individual needs of each pupil and teach in the client's own home.

Tutoring Approach: I like to be pupil centred and aim to fit my approach to the preferences and needs of each student. I believe completely that learning should be a pleasure and as much as possible try to create a fun atmosphere for learning to occur, rather than simply lecture and repeat until the information sticks. Deep level learning, engaging with and understanding the information, is what I aim to enable students to achieve, rather than purely regurgitating information they do not necessarily understand.

SPECIAL OFFER! Book and prepay for a block of 10 hours and pay for only 9! Enquire for more information.
