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.
