I work with students from diverse backgrounds, of all ages and of different learning styles having been a Teacher of English for 18 years, and more recently a 1:1 tutor and coach for both young people and adults.
My approach encompasses the use of visual aids and kinesthetic exercises where necessary (this being some form of interaction or movement), as well as traditional one on one reflective discussion on topics related to the English curriculum.
Lessons and 1:1 sessions are creative and fun, as well as thoughtful and reflective. I empower every young person to take ownership of their learning, and find their own flow to generate motivation, enthusiasm and effective execution of the work and any demands before us.
My love of the subject, of learning and working with young people translates into each lesson, for all to be open and curious, to be brave with ideas and expressing their own voice, to be co-creative and adventurous in thinking and doing, and to ultimately flourish in their own creativity and achievements - however small each achievement is.
I am sensitive and adaptive to the emerging needs and demands young people are facing today:
* to build resilience, through reflection and championing achievements * to nurture critical skills * to cultivate effective communication and collaboration with others * to explore concepts such as growth mindsets, time management and any other challenges unique to the individual * to build a sense of self and inner-confidence * to become more self aware, have agency and ownership in making choices and changes in life
By unlocking the potential in each person I interact with, I am able to fully realise my own purpose and vision: to authentically make a difference in the lives of every person I meet.
