English tutor in Ellesmere, UK.
With over forty years tutoring experience at home, abroad and in schools I can be relied upon to deliver top quality bespoke tuition. The most recent GCSE results support this.
I have previous experience in tutoring people of a similiar age to me at school in order to help them achieve their desired grades. This included ages ranging from 9 (primary school) to 16 (secondary school) year olds. I assisted many students preparing for exams as well as some students just looking to widen their knowledge and improve their general ability in school. I used a nurturing and gentle approach and plan to do so going forward. I believe that this helped many people to unlock their full potential and prepare them for future exams beyond their GCSEs! Using a slow and steady approach ensures that students can easily apply their knowledge in exams, as well as just understanding the content. Specifically, during my tutor lessons students would be aided through practice papers as well as thoroughly explaining the content to ensure they are fully prepared for stressful and possibly unpredictable exams. Additionally, I have access to a wide variety of teaching and revision resources which I intend on using to aid my tutoring and can be used by students to improve their individual study sessions. My tutoring sessions would be suited for GCSE students and younger only as I will only be starting my A-Levels in September. Lengths of sessions can easily be altered, however a typical one would last between 1 and 2 hours. Again, this can easily be altered to suit a specific students needs.

Profile
My name is Zoë and I am currently 18 and on my gap year with the intent to start university in September, where I will study a course centered around Anthropology, politics and various cultural studies. So far this year I have held the position of pre-nursery and K1 teacher at an international kindergarten in Hong Kong, travelled through the Philippines and have become certified a TEFL tutor; before my gap year is over I am aiming to do some more traveling, gain more qualifications and secure an internship.
Experience
(Kindergarten teacher) Pre- Nursery and k1 teacher at sunshine house international, Tung Chung, Hong Kong, august 2023 - December 2023
This position required me to write lesson plans weeks in advance, coordinate meetings with both parents and fellow teachers and strictly follow a curriculum which I taught to my class of 10 2-3 year olds on a daily basis. More importantly this role forced me to be compassionate and patient, it allowed my to be creative and energetic and it has shown me how to be increasingly empathetic and understanding when explaining or communicating.

summer internship/ work experience with KOOKIE magazine 2022
Internship with 'tweens' magazine KOOKIE allowed me to understand the pressures of selecting, approving and writing content for an audience that could be directly affected by my words. Being a part of an organization built by two strong women, that is centered around educating and captivating children between the ages of 8-12+ with positive and empowering content has truly influenced my perception of both journalism and the ways in which I communicate and teach those around me when in leadership positions.

120-hour Virtual TEFL course - Combined: 2 days classroom Sat-Sun + 100-hours online, 10/01/ tel: *** CCF Army winter mountaineering camp, Dundonald, Scotland
Relying on the skills and experience gained from Duke of Edinburgh expeditions and Army camps and training, I was equipped with the ground knowledge required to safely begin a basic mountaineering course. However, due to extreme weather conditions and the surrounding environment licensed professionals were required to to train all participants in navigation (map and compass skills, navigating through a snow storm, rock navigation etc), basic rock climbing techniques (how to leverage your weight, use a harness, how and where to place your feet and properly climb and down climb) avalanche safety and companion rescue, packing for an expedition, Wilderness First Responder or Wilderness First Aid, the ways in which equipment like ice axes and crampons must be correctly used and snow-holing. All entirely new and daunting challenges that have taught me to carefully listen to instructions while also forcing me think on my feet and calculate a plan in unexpected situations.

The five years of acting as a cadet has been one of my most treasured experiences of high school. Weekly 3hr long sessions along side multiple expeditions/ camps per semester have equipped me for the the hard work, determination and commitment required in all walks of life. In addition, in 2020 I was promoted to the leadership position of NCO meaning I acted as a www.*** and ‘coach’ to pupils from all age groups, as well as holding assembly’s in which I would be presenting to a wide variety of audiences on many occasion; all experiences that have contributed to the mindset and attitude I bring into the workplace.
