Rupert

Throughout my life I have managed to quickly build rapport with people. I have done this through having a good sense of humour, being inquisitive and above all being able to listen and engage with people.

I have a large variety of interests including music (I play guitar and flute), film, literature and sport. These interests have further enabled my ability to engage with people and form positive relationships.

Tutoring Experience

I have over twenty years experience working with young people in various roles. Including as a Youth Worker, Teaching Assistant and Teacher. I have also worked in a wide range of settings, including mainstream and SEN provisions with young people who have a variety of needs and intelligences.
Because of this variety of experiences I am able to deliver targeted one to one work which has meaning and relevance over a wide range of subjects including History, Geography and English.

Tutoring Approach

My approach to tutoring is very much child led. After an initial session in which I find out what the young person I am tutoring aims to get out of the session, what their motivations and interest are and their level of ability and how they best learn I tailor the sessions to the need of the specific child, . Above all I want both pupil and tutor to enjoy their sessions as I feel this is when learning and progress occurs.
