Hi! My name is Melissa. :) I tutor: -Any year of English/Scottish curriculum primary school. -Years 7-11 English curriculum high school. -S1-5 Scottish curriculum high school (including National 5 and Higher) I have been a tutor with GoStudent for two years, tutoring high school and primary school students. Previously, I was an assistant in a Pupil Support English class for a year. I assisted students in various ways, such as helping them to read, write and create stories. I received an award from my school for my work in Pupil Support. I tutored a National 5 pupil in my high school. I co-run a junior creative writing club so I have experience making creative writing engaging. I am the Classics Representative of my university book club, planning and running the weekly sessions. I enjoy reading and writing and have done most of my life. I also enjoy going on nature walks, spending time with friends and family, exploring new places (anything from bookshops to waterfalls to museums), and catching up on TV. My favourite TV shows are Friends, How I Met Your Mother and Stranger Things. I hope to inspire confidence and allow students to reach their full potential. I know how crucial a particular teacher or method can be to a student. I hope to be that for people like others have been for me. I just finished my third year of university, studying English Studies. I received all unconditional offers. I achieved an A in National 5, Higher and Advanced Higher English. I have a 120+ hour TEFL qualification which allows me to teach English as a foreign language online, in this country, or abroad. This qualification included 50-hr TEFL, 30-hr Grammar & Language Awareness, 20-hr Video Observation, 10-hr Telephone Teaching and 10-hr Teaching Large Classes Courses. The telephone teaching section of the course covered online teaching such as making lessons engaging.

About Me I am twenty two years old and am currently in my fourth year, studying English with Creative Writing. I live in Scotland and have grown up here. I was born in Dundee and now live in Aberdeen! I used to be an assistant ballet teacher, which is one of the reasons why I wanted to become a tutor. I also love to write poems and have released a poetry book! I also love to bake and hang out with my friends! I'm really excited to start my tutoring journey and meet new students! :) A in National 5 English A in Higher English B in Advanced Higher English (Other relevant qualifications: A in National 5 History & RMPS, B in Higher History & RMPS). I had the opportunity in my final year of high school to help children in the ASN department. I helped them with their work in-class and their homework, specifically English and History. I aimed to help improve their comprehension skills through breaking down literary passages and explaining relevant techniques to them. Currently I am a full-time student at the University of Aberdeen, studying English with Creative Writing. I have completed three years and alongside English I have taken modules in film, sociology and philosophy. I have just started my fourth year, which involves a creative writing module which I have been really enjoying. It has made me realise my love for literature and writing and I hope I can pass that onto my students!
