Personal Description: I am an experienced teacher and a published author from **Web Address Removed** Durham.

Tutoring Experience: I have been a teacher at Wolsingham School in Weardale for the last 4 years and, I'm pleased to say, that my results have improved year on year. I am an experienced teacher of English Language and Media Studies with some recent experience teaching Sociology. Although I have never tutored formally before I work on an almost one to one basis with a small group of students three nights a week on coursework improvement, exam technique and - for some - basic skills.

Tutoring Approach: As stated above I have never formally tutored outside of the school, however I do work with individual students regularly. Generally I promote an exploratory approach to learning, that is I encourage the students to find a topic that interests them and we can practice the skills required as they explore that subject.
I am also becoming increasingly adept at helping students to produce or improve upon coursework - usually with a very quick turn around. In particular, through workshops I am occasionally asked to run in libraries and community centres, I find teaching Creative Writing particularly enjoyable and effective.

Qualifications:

• MA Creative Writing and Teaching Creative Writing - Teesside University
• BA (Hons) Creative Studies in English/ Media Communications - Bath Spa University
• QTS Status achieved from Northumbria University - 2006
