Information About Laura

Personal Description: I'm Laura and I am from Manchester. I work as a Learning Mentor for a vocational FE college and work specifically within the Creative Arts Department. I have worked within education for the past four and a half years and have also work as a freelance writer and proofreader.

Tutoring Experience: My teaching experience spans over various different areas. I have taught intensive classes for GCSE English Language, English Literature and Media Studies for students who want to bring their grades up. I did this within a high school and most students who were predicted D grades came out with a grade of B. I also have experience of teaching low level English to special needs students and students whose first language is not English. I have specialised in teaching english to dyslexic students. I have also worked as a private tutor for A Level Film Studies, BTEC Media Studies, A Level English Literature and English Language. Within my job I also teach Holocaust Education, as well as covering lessons for BTEC Performing Arts theory classes (all pathways).

Tutoring Approach: I am a very positive tutor, who prefers to teach in a relaxed atmosphere, making the subject fun and informal. I spend the first half of the term tutoring the subject modules, especially modules which the student does not feel confident with. This term encapsulates coursework and key modules. In the second term, I focus on revision and practicing essay questions which will prepare the student for their exams and finally, I teach two short sessions on exam techniques and how to succeed in exams.
I am a very positive and patient tutor who refses to give up until a student succeeds.
