Catherine Williamson

I have developed a specialist approach in one-to-one remote learning for students worldwide, during years of teaching in England (West Yorkshire and Kent) and internationally (South America, Japan, Bangladesh and Germany). I have completed school-led training in inclusive education and am experienced in teaching students with ESL and SEN.

I am an IB examiner, a former HoD and have over 15 years experience of tutoring one to one.

The first session is free and is an opportunity to find out more about the type of tuition, the course and the resources that are available. It provides an ‘ice breaker’ so that tuition can be an enjoyable as well as an effective experience. We can also use this time to talk directly, parent/tutee to tutor and you will receive a copy of the presentation for the course you are pursuing.

A schedule will be created, based on this meetings, which will form the basis of the course of the tuition. Other resources include:
Weekly outlines
Timelines and diagrams
Past papers - sample answers and feedback
Topic powerpoints
Session notes and links to online resources
Interactive activities

The focus of the tuition will be based on your requirements - e.g. knowledge, application and writing skills. Emphasis can be assigned to sourcework, essays, investigative writing (e.g. NEA, IA and EE) or to specific papers.

I use Microsoft Teams and OneNote, for the interactive approach. On Google Drive there will be a shared folder where I will put all resources provided for each session. You will have a link so that you can go back to these resources at any time after the session, until you complete tuition.
