SKILLS & INTERESTS
Outside of tutoring, I enjoy cooking, travelling and spending time with friends and family. I’m also a keen badminton player, which I enjoy both for the social side and the opportunity to stay active. I have a strong interest in music and TV, and I enjoy keeping up with current affairs and discussing different topics and perspectives. I also love trying new foods and different places when travelling across Europe. In general, I enjoy being social, meeting new people and learning about different interests and cultures.
WORK EXPERIENCE
Work Experience at Sharewear Clothing Charity – Completed a week of work experience at a local clothing charity, working alongside staff and helping with a range of day-to-day tasks, developing my organisation, independence and time-management.
Volunteering at my Local Church – Volunteered at church holiday clubs, working with children and helping them take part in activities and games. This developed my communication, patience and ability to engage with different ages and personalities.
PERSONAL STATEMENT
My interest in tutoring comes largely from my own experiences as a student. During A-Level Maths, I was predicted a C, but went on to achieve an A after being taught in a way that completely changed how I approached learning. Instead of simply learning information and repeating methods, I was taught to understand why a method worked, how to adapt it and most importantly, how to apply what I knew to questions I’d never seen before. This showed me that sometimes the difference between struggling with a subject and succeeding isn’t ability, but having someone explain things in a way that makes sense to you.
This is something I try to bring into my own tutoring. Over the past six months, I have tutored students from KS1 to KS4, alongside three months of 1:1 A-Level Politics tutoring. I have found getting to know my students and seeing their confidence grow as they begin to understand things that they previously found difficult extremely rewarding. Through relaxed and conversational lessons, whilst still ensuring that students are challenged, I aim to develop students’ ability to apply their knowledge independently rather than relying on memorisation.
I am close enough in age to my students to remember what it was like to be in their position, whether that is struggling with a particular topic, feeling nervous about an upcoming exam, or simply finding a subject difficult. I want my students to feel comfortable asking questions, admitting when they don’t understand and making mistakes without feeling judged. For me, building that trust and rapport is what makeseffective tutoring, because students are much more likely to engage and improve when they feel comfortable with the person teaching them.
Ultimately, I want to be the kind of tutor I benefited from myself: someone who helps students understand how to use what they know, build their confidence and show them that they are capable of more than they might initially think.
