Sian

I am a friendly and patient teacher, with a record of outstanding teaching in English. I am also responsible for literacy across the curriculm at my current school, meaning that I am always researching and implementing the most current and innovative strategies in order to engage and facilitate excellent learning and progress in the school children that I teach.

I achieved a 2:1 degree in English Literature at Cardiff University and have since worked with special needs children of all ages, before going on to teach English Language and Literature in Secondary Schools.

I am also an experienced examiner for a popular English examination board, therefore I know certain examinations inside out and I am able to use that knowledge and experience to inform my teaching, much to the benefit of my students.

I have also recently achieved a Masters in Education degree.

I can offer tutoring for any age group (including adults) in the following subjects: KS3, GCSE, AS and A Level English Language and English Literature, with GCSE being my specialism.

I have a current CRB check.

Tutoring Experience

I am a qualified English Teacher with 14 years teaching experience. I have also privately tutored for 12 years, with a fantastically high level of success.

I have experience of teaching a range of abilities and ages. I am also a subject mentor for student teachers on their PGCE teacher training course.

I also have extensive training and experience of working with children with SEMH needs.

I have also taught CoPe (Certificate of personal effectiveness).

Tutoring Approach

I am aware that everyone has a preferred learning style and I will tailor my tutoring in order to work with students to help them gain confidence and achieve their full potential.

I endeavour to make work interesting and exciting whilst providing high quality teaching and ensuring RAPID progress.

I can tutor online or in person. Or a mixture of the two.
