Information About Shelley

Personal Description: I am coming to the end of my first year of teaching having gained a PGCE 'M' from UEA in Norwich, one of the number one training schools in the region. I have a 2.1 degree in English Language & Literature from University Campus Suffok. I have a great love for my subject, and am willing to help pupils aged 11-16 in the subject of English as required. I am also available to assist with GCSE retakes if required for 16+ year olds. I also have a knowledge of AS/A2 English Language, English Literature and English Language & Literature courses having taught it previously at my training schools.

Tutoring Experience: I have completed two Teaching Placements in two Outstanding Schools, and am currently working at a school in Essex. In my first year here, I have had excellent results from classes and progress has been graded as excellent. In my most recent observation, I was graded as 'Good with Outstanding features'.

I have previously tutored pupils outside of school also. We currently follow the OCR specification at GCSE Level though I also have a knowledge of AQA.

Tutoring Approach: I try to make learning as fun and engaging as possible whilst ensuring that you are still learning! I also try to do a range of activities so as to keep you interested, and tailor activities to individuals. I like to get to know my tutees' individual needs so that I can tailor sessions to their specific requirements, and ensure that they have the confidence and knowledge to succeed. I am creative in my approach to both teaching and tutoring to ensure that pupils are engaged with the learning process whilst enjoying it also.

I live in Ipswich but I as I teach in Colchester, I am also available to tutor in the Colchester area.

From Lorna (4/5): (Secondary English) I had a couple of last minute sessions with Shelly to help me build confidence before my A2 English Language exam. She was really helpful, bought loads of good resources and lent me some books which was also very helpful. Shelley really helped to boost my confidence but seeing as we only had 2 sessions and they were just before my exam, we didn't really go through anything new. I am sure thought that she would be great at teaching brand new stuff as she is very kind and willing to help. Shelley certainly made me feel much more relaxed before my exam and helped me realise that I knew more than I thought I did.
Thanks Shelley!
