Subjects
- School Tutoring
English
I am good at English. I studied it to a Post Grad level and tutored English literature during university. I work in publishing as an Editor and writer and I'm looking to do something I enjoy after hours as well.
History
In learning heavy subjects such as this, I will be able to teach the student how to summarise, prioritise information, essay writing, paraphrase etc - important skills which they can use in the learning of other subjects too.
Social Science
I have an interest in Geography and believe I can instill a love for the Social Sciences in children who are just starting this subject.
- University Tutoring
English Literature
I studied this subject to a post-graduate level. I was hired by the university and tutored English. I can teach students to look beyond the text in front of them and teach them how important contextual reading and research is when studying a text.
- Language Tutoring
English
The industry in which I work demands a high standard of English and on a daily basis I manipulate the English language to be more readable, grammatically correct and relatable.
