What do I enjoy most about tutoring? 😁

I enjoy engaging with students to learn how they resonate with the subject, so as to find ways of making it valuable to them. I also enjoy those 'light bulb' moments, where I can see a student make a connection and begin developing skill and agency in the subject area.

My Strengths as Tutor 💪

I am passionate about my subject areas and have made commercial success in both writing and theatre-making over the years, bringing an additional layer to teaching that is not only academic. I have experience in collaborative practice and imaginative facilitation, working with non-actors to encourage play and creativity, which are useful tools for finding ways into a subject that challenges students. I am calm, extroverted and enjoy chatting with people from all walks of life. I also have ADHD and am a good example of someone who can have advanced academic success.

Most important things I can do for a student 🏅

The most important role a tutor plays for a student is to assist the student in developing their own agency in their subject area. When we believe a subject is beyond us, or we're not smart enough to grasp it, we shy away and don't push ourselves as hard. Often this belief has developed from what others have told us or from not having the right style of communication helping us understand the fundamentals of a subject area: one-on-one tutoring can be a powerful mode of addressing the specific styles and interests of a student so as to bring a challenging subject into their wheelhouse.
