Elise

Hi! I'm a qualified teacher with a PGCE from the University of Cambridge, a 1st Class Master's in Physics. I have 6 years of experience in education, including 2 years teaching years 7-13 in UK schools.

☆About me☆

• Evidence based practices
  to support my students in all areas of their learning.

• School teacher experience
  as a school teacher I have a wealth of experience with the specification and syllabus of my subject, including the knowledge and the skills base required to achieve strong grades.

• Customised approach
  customised to the student's needs and primary areas for support, which will be assessed on introduction to my tuition.

• Lively and encouraging approach
  I appreciate that fostering great working relationships to encourage self motivation and confidence is just as important as the purely academic side of tuition.

☆ Offering: ☆
1. One to one GCSE and A-level preparation.
2. Self isolation support (during a school closure/ bubble closure / self isolation case)

☆ Online learning style ☆

• Use of both webcam and visualiser for clear handwritten solutions in real time (no more struggling with a mouse to write equations!)

• Files and resources attached to lesson for you to complete in any way you prefer. No printing necessary!

• Slides and interactive simulations used when useful for instruction.

Please get in touch to discuss how I can support you / your child in their academic journey!

Tutoring Experience

☆ Two years teaching years 7-13 in secondary schools.
☆ 1 to 1 and small group exam preparation support to GCSE and A-level students.

Tutoring Approach

☆ Interactive instruction
- Directly teaching or reteaching concepts from the specification with room for questioning.

☆ Formative assessment
- Gaining understanding of the knowledge and skills level of student, to identify areas which need the most attention.

☆ Knowledge recall
- Quizzing and repetitive retrieval of foundational knowledge.

☆ Skills and concept practise
- Guided attempts of worksheets and exam questions with feedback and worked solutions.

☆ Broader learning
- Contextualising the learning to make it relevant to students. Discussing applications of concepts to technology, industry, and daily life. Looking at beyond-specification knowledge particularly in A-level.
