English and Drama Lessons in Dulwich

I have recently graduated from my second degree and am now looking to further my teaching experience with some intention to return to academia. I come from London though my parents are Arabic and I enjoy the diversity this offers me. I am passionate about philosophy and literature, reading and writing. I find working with children challenging, fun and very rewarding.

Tutoring Approach

I think the most important thing for any student to be able to do is ask questions. I make it a point to instill courage and confidence in my tutees because in my opinion these are the building blocks of learning, in any subject.

My sessions tend to be relaxed and informal, though I aim to cover much ground per tutorial. The intensity of study can be decided by the student according to his or her needs, experience and age.

Above all I think learning should be fun and liberating. From my experience both as a student and tutor I think I make an able, friendly and enthusiastic tutor.
