Advert description
I hold two Masters degrees, in Sport & Exercise Science and in Creative Writing (with Distinction). I am also a Life Coach, Therapeutic Coach, Specialist Menopause Coach, Personal Trainer, and NLP Master Practitioner. I am also an author/writer, with a range of academic and other publications. I have over 15 years experience as a tutor at university level (as a home-based, online tutor with the Open University), and have been teaching and coaching beyond the university setting for about 10 years. I am very experienced, having worked with thousands of students and many clients on an individual and group basis, mostly online but also sometimes face-to-face. I have worked with people of all ages from 17 up to 70, in various settings (including a professional dancer on tour, an entertainer working on a cruise ship, and people in military settings abroad), and from various backgrounds and cultures. I am able to offer 1:1 online tutoring and/or coaching (e.g. using Zoom), over the phone, or via email where a question needs a quick response outside of the tutoring/coaching setting. I am a native English speaker, with excellent speaking and listening skills. My students and clients say that I am gentle, approachable and compassionate, that they feel safe in speaking openly with me, they find me dependable, and that they like my creative thinking, which can help them to find answers to their challenges or questions. In working with an individual student or client, I believe that the knowledge the person needs is already within them, and that it is my role to help them to discover this. This leads to more effective learning, and can also help a coaching client to find and commit to their goals.
