Description: Tutor Alyssa covers an extensive range of subjects including Maths, English, 11+ and EFL. Here is a snippet of her tutor profile.
I am a welcoming, creative and driven English and Maths tutor with experience working with a range of ages and abilities. These include both disadvantaged students and students with English as an Additional Language.
I have a Bachelor’s degree in English Literature and Drama from Queen Mary University of London. My tutoring experience spans over 3 years. I have taught English Key Stages 1 – 3 and Higher Education, as well as the 11+ Entry Exams.
I follow three key steps when working with my students. The first is to identify strengths and weaknesses by covering a wide-ranging curriculum. My second step is to build the student’s confidence in areas of weakness. I do this by creating clear and achievable goals for each lesson. The third and final step I take is to set tasks that stretch and extend my students. This facilitates them in reaching their full potential.
My lessons are structured around a specific curriculum, but also tailored to be interesting, original and engaging for my pupils. While learning a particular new skill, more general writing and reading skills are also improved in each class. Routine and familiarity and very important to create a comfortable learning environment for young minds. My background in performing arts can help ensure that lessons are enjoyable and never too predictable.
Understanding each student and their preferred learning style is something I take great pride in. This is the key to unlocking their full learning potential. Helping a student discover their own potential is incredibly rewarding and wonderful to be a part of. My greatest wish is to instil a lifelong love for learning in my students. In turn, that love inspires creativity and imagination which can be applied to other subjects as well as to life itself.
