Vivienne
I focus on preparing students for the new style English GCSE. I can support students throughout school or just with intensive exam focus in year 11. Students are welcome to come as regularly as they like with no obligation. I have a husband, two teenage children, a golden retriever and a very fat cat called Fluffy. I have lived in quite a few different countries, have lots of experience teaching different nationalities, and have been tutoring and teaching English as a second language for 24 years.
Tutoring Experience
I teach up to GCSE English and have knowledge of poetry, Macbeth, Lord of the Flies, Doctor Jekyll and Mr Hyde , An Inspector Calls, Romeo and Juliet, and A Christmas Carol. I know the new GCSE specifications and how marks are awarded and will work out how my students can achieve more marks. I have taught in Japan, Singapore, Italy and Moscow gained the top grade in my teaching qualification, only attainable by 1% of teachers.
Tutoring Approach
I have a gentle approach which is intuitive, and empathetic. My aim is to build confidence as well as knowledge to help all students achieve their potential. I have a lot of handouts I have written that cover the gcse syllabus that accompany my lessons and can be used for revision. This include essential quotes, exam tips and practice questions.
