I am a fully qualified English teacher who has had to retire from full time classroom teaching due to ill health and disability. I am an extremely competent and professional teacher, and would like to continue with my vocation, teaching, to the best of my ability. To this extent I would like to offer my skills as a tutor for students up to, and including, A'Level. My students have achieved excellent results and I have also proved to be very talented at raising students results from those predicted to 1 to 3 levels higher. I have experience of working with students at all levels, from those who may struggle with the subject to those who need an extra challenge that they may feel they are not getting in the classroom. I am also experienced at teaching students with special educational needs, including Autism, Asperger's Syndrome, Cerebal Palsy, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, Dyscalcula, Deafness and visibility impairment, SPLD and many others. I have a BA Hons in English and Study of Religions, PGCE Secendary English and Drama and I am fully CRB checked. For testimonials please see my website: lmstutor.co.uk.
Availability: I am very flexible and am available during the day as well as in the evening. I would prefer to teach from my home in St. Paul's in Cheltenham as I have mobility difficulties which prevent me from travelling very far however alternative arrangements are negotiable.
Experience: I have been an English Teacher for 3 years (4 including my training year). Additionally I have been tutoring for the past 3 years. I was also a school ambassador and mentor during my degree and tutored to GCSE level while studying for my A'Levels. Over the course of the past 3 years I have tutored a variety of young people with a good deal of success: an A2 Level student achieved an A grade in English Literature, which guaranteed her place in her chosen university; a GCSE student who was predicted C grades achieved an A in English Literature and a B in English which has enabled her to continue her studies in 6th Form; a Year 10 student has improved his coursework grade from a predicted C/D grade to an A/B grade; additionally a student, who was acheiving D/E grades for his practice poetry essays, achieved A* for essays written after only a few lessons with me. These are only a few of the many success stories of students who have studied with me. I am obviously very proud of my students results and feel they offer evidence of my skills as a tutor.
