Courtney

Hi! I am Courtney, I'm a fully qualified tutor who has a vast amount of experience with tutoring SEN and homeschooled children.

During my own schooling as a teenager and young adult I homeschooled; this enabled me to build a strong ability to plan lessons and gather resources as I had to teach myself the course content for both my GCSE's and A-levels. Homeschooling allowed me to develop a deeper understanding of the education system and I feel I have a unique outlook and teaching style because of this experience. Homeschooling also gave me a unique perspective of how it feels to be a child in mainstream education who needed extra provisions in order to flourish. I want to help provide the kind of support that I needed during my own schooling to other children, to help them find enjoyment from education.

In my spare time outside of tutoring, I enjoy painting and yoga. I find that yoga allows me to clear my mind and enables me to be a better tutor.

Tutoring Experience

I Have had my own tutoring company since mid 2022 and I have delivered thousands of lessons over the last few years. I have helped students achieve great results in their exams and have helped to build confidence in a wide array of subjects.

I have worked in a number of schools across Doncaster, typically working in 1:1 SEN support roles. This has enabled me to develop my teaching skill set and has allowed me to adapt my skills to a wide range of pupil needs. I have experience with a number of different additional needs, including ADHD, Autism, and Dyslexia.

Tutoring Approach

I work by splitting the topics up and teaching them in a way that is understandable and engaging. I work a lot with past papers as I find the best way to study for an exam is to practice as much as possible looking at the actual exam, this not only gets students used to answering questions in a way that exam boards want but helps to solidify key knowledge too.
