Mandy W

A1 TO C2 German tutor in Haddington, Lothians

£30.00Academic tutor

I have completed a Bachelor of European Business Studies, a Post-graduate Certificate in Teaching and a Teaching-English-As-A-Foreign-Language Certificate. I have more than 10 years of work experience in the education sector in a variety of roles including class teacher, private subject tutor, language teacher, after-school club teacher, intervention teacher and substitute teacher. I have worked in schools across Surrey in the UK and one school in South Africa. I also have experience on management level: managing a pre-school and leading a team of 9 members of staff. I have worked as private tutor since 10 years, having taught children between 3 and 14 as well as adults, both in the UK and South Africa as well as on-line. I have experiencing in tutoring English literacy, numeracy, Science, Study Skills and Foreign Languages including English, German, Spanish and French. During the past year I have worked as full-time, online German teacher.

I am experienced in tutoring students of all abilities and I believe I am the ideal candidate for this position. I have been providing language support to professionals and students of all ages, from primary school to university level. Whatever the level I teach, I make sure the resources used are both adequate and challenging. I also break material down into easy-to-understand concepts. I have also designed a 30 days French tuition programme using PowerPoint interactive resources which makes the learning more interesting for students. I have also created individualised plans and programmes to facilitate a targeted, personalised approach to education while stimulating students’ enjoyment and appreciation for the French language and culture. I have employed a wide array of instructional techniques, instructional media, and technological tools—including hand-outs, presentations, videos, online activities, and foreign language laboratory assignments—to facilitate improved language abilities. I know how important it is to make the student feel relaxed, which in turn helps them become ready to learn.

The first thing your teacher or examiner will notice when reading your work is the quality of your English. I’ll correct your spelling, grammar, and punctuation, and improve the style and continuity of your writing, enabling you to get all the credit you deserve for your hard work, knowledge and insight. With a PhD in philosophy, I’m a published author and experienced academic proofreader, working for both native English speakers and students for whom English is a second language.

Zoe P

GCSE Biology, A level Biology tutor in St Andrews, Central and East

£10.00-15.00Academic tutor

I am on the 5th (and final) year of my MSc (Hons) Biology degree at the University of St Andrews. I really enjoy biology and especially Ecology and Conservation but I am comfortable with most areas due to the highly integrated nature of the subject. Apart from my studies, I enjoy dancing as I did Latin and Ballroom lessons for 9 years and I am a recently qualified Ocean diver. I have finished high school with an International Baccalaureate diploma of 40/45 (higher level: Biology, Chemistry, Modern Greek/ Standard level: Maths, English B, Psychology). In terms of my approach to teaching Biology, I am trying to focus on the students` needs and what they don`t understand or need help. The student and I will discuss the subjects of interest and I`ll try to let them figure out the answers themselves rather than me giving them a ready answer. This way they will be ready to answer all types of questions rather than trying to memorise an answer and be flustered in an exam setting if something they haven`t seen before comes up. In order to achieve this, I usually prepare my lessons in advance. I give exercises to the students to complete before our sessions so we can discuss them and identify challenging topics. Once these topics have been identified, I try to explain them through audiovisual measures (diagrams and videos), as well as examples from personal experience, which places the theory in a real-life context which is more memorable. However, I understand that this method doesn`t work for everyone and therefore I am willing to adapt my teaching style to the individual`s needs. I love working with younger people and aid them in the process of learning new things and make them enjoy a subject that I thoroughly love myself!

I can provide you with friendly, individualised tutoring in English, from the new Nationals at Secondary school to University postgraduate literature theses. I can also proofread other written work. Together we can identify the skills and knowledge you want to develop, and plan suitable lessons to meet your own time-scale; this can include preparing for official exams. As a Secondary school teacher in Edinburgh I have taught all aspects of English in the curriculum; my university teaching, in Edinburgh and Istanbul, ranged from medieval to postmodern literature. Whatever area of English you are studying I would be happy to help.
