Information About Jo

Personal Description: Having graduated in English Language and Literature from Oxford University I subsequently studied law with the College of Law, coming third in my year on the Common Professional Exam and gaining a distinction in the Legal Practice Course. I qualified and worked as a city solicitor before training as a teacher.

Tutoring Experience: I have a Master's degree in Education from Durham University and have worked in both private and state schools teaching up to A Level. I have worked as a GCSE examiner in both English and English Literature, for which I have been consistently graded as an A grade examiner. I also have taught English as foreign language in two French secondary schools using French as the language of instruction. I currently am home educating my own three children at primary level.

Tutoring Approach: I believe that the key to effective tuition is to tailor the teaching to the pupil and not the other way around. I firrmly believe that all pupils can succeed given the appropriate level of motivation and instruction. Prior to the first lesson I would ask tutees to provide examples of their current work and to give me an idea of their aims, such as a minimum target grade in a forthcoming exam. I would then provide a course of tuition designed to meet the individual's needs using his or her interests to stimulate further development.

From Caroline (5/5): (GCSE English) I learnt so much in just a few lessons. The way in which I tackle questions and structure my essays has improved. I feel far more confident towards my exams which are the next few weeks. Thank you for the help.

Reply from Jo: Thank you for working so hard! Good luck in your exams.

From Kay (5/5): (A-Level English) Jo has made a big difference to my daughter's approach to English Literature. She is now much happier with the work she is producing and more confident approaching her AS exam.

Reply from Jo: Thank you Kay for taking the time to make a comment.
