Catherine S.

I am a TEFL certified teacher with 5 years of teaching experience and have graduated from University and was awarded with an English award as attained the highest English grades across my borough. What separates me from other tutors is that I genuinely have a passion for helping students reach their full academic potential, it's the most rewarding part! My love for the English language is contageous and my students learn to also love the subject! With a strong foundation in teaching English and a commitment to fostering a positive and engaging learning environment, I strive to make every lesson both meaningful and enjoyable. I firmly believe that each student learns differently, and I take a personalized approach to tutoring, tailoring my methods to meet individual needs and learning styles. I widely understand the English curriculum and familiar with exam boards such as OCR , AQA and EDEXCEL. I have helped numerous students to excel in their GCSE's and iGCSE, getting the grades that truly reflect their hard work. Subsequently, I am very familiar in tutoring students of all ages, from priamary all the way to secondary level. I love to help each student reach their learning goals and prove that learning can be fun! I love to travel and experience new cultures! I absolutely love music and I am an artist at heart. My ideal way to relax is to watching funny movies and reading novels. Enough about me! I'd love to meet you and start our learning journey! I have studied and attained a Bachelors University degree as well as a qualifying as a TEFEL tutor - teaching English as a foreign language to ADULT LEARNERS and CHILDREN. I have work experience working in a primary school and also on a one to one basis as a learning support help in secondary school. I have a very bubbly personality to help my students feel comfortable where they might be shy or nervous taking lessons. At the same time, I have set targets for each of my students and monitor their progress diligently through setting homework and module exams. This works for my students who need that extra push!
