I am a qualified teacher and graduate of the University of Edinburgh with an MA in English Literature and a PGDE in Secondary Education English teaching, as well as being a qualified TEFL teacher. In my spare time I enjoy playing rugby, mountaineering and work as an editor for the online reviewing magazine Broadway Baby.
I possess a sound knowledge of the Scottish education system including Higher Education, the former SQA syllabus (Standard Grade), and the current format (Curriculum for Excellence). I am reliable, adaptable and strive to achieve the best I can for my students. PVG certified and experienced in working with children, I can offer a variety of differentiated learning methods to suit individual needs.
My experience as a teacher consists of:
Private tutoring in Poland including preparation for Cambridge exams for adults and children with successful results. I also taught in two high schools and two primary schools as an EFL teacher during this time.
Secondary teaching within The City of Edinburgh Council and East Lothian Council, teaching broad general education and national grades including National 4, 5 and Higher.
4 years of TEFL teaching at Heriott Watt University with Oxford International in preparation for IELTS exams
9 years of private tutoring for preparation of NAT 5 and Higher exams, with a universal pass rate and strong percentage of A grades.
