Personal Description: I am a librarian and my main interests are information literacy, reader development, social inclusion and information poverty. I am newly qualified and still looking to gain my first professional post, hopefully in children’s services or in a school library. I enjoy my current job as a library assistant very much as I get to interact with the public. I communicate well with others and like to promote the library service. I enjoy cycling, going to music events and the cinema. I am looking to develop my teaching experience as I am considering doing a teaching degree to become dual qualified.

Tutoring Experience: I have experience tutoring adult learners though a government campaign to improve literacy and numeracy skills, during which I completed a 14 week training program. I have a lot of experience in youth work and volunteer at the Girl Guides where I have overseen a number of short term and long term projects on a variety of topics. I advise the girls on what information is needed and where to access it in order to complete their badges. I also work in a library where I help school children with their homework on a daily basis.

Tutoring Approach: I like to plan activities to make learning enjoyable while encouraging people to develop their skills. I like to teach transferable skills so people get the most out of learning. I am very patient, understanding and focused. I like to use a mixture of printed as well as electronic resources, depending on the information sought. I like to show people how to access information on their own, in effect teaching them how to teach themselves for the future. I think it is important to see skills develop so I like to keep a diary of what has been taught, and would encourage the tutee to keep a record of what they have learned as I find this to be very motivational.
