My aim is to address all weak areas in children's learning to make them feel confident and supported in any given area, as I believe a successful tutoring environment is one where the student feels comfortable to ask questions whenever needed and can leave the session feeling supported. During lessons, I focus on key English skills such as reading, spelling, grammar, writing, comprehension, and vocabulary. Moreover, I also strongly believe that building a friendly environment can boost learning and make the student feel more comfortable, through interactive measures to help boost confidence and conversational skills. This will be adapted to support each individual student as well. Having worked with young children before in various environments including teaching and in sports, I have patience and organisational skills to ensure each session has the best outcome for the student. Furthermore, having recently completed my IB Diploma, I understand the value of developing strong English skills and will always do my best to ensure lessons are engaging, encouraging, and suited to each student's needs.
