Online English Tutor Daisy

I am a fully qualified and trained English and Drama secondary school teacher, with one years experience teaching both subjects in the classroom with groups of 25 students in inner-London secondary schools. I was praised during evaluations for my ability to focus on individual student needs and for my ability to establish rapport very quickly.

I have been tutoring for one full academic year and in that time, I've seen huge success with the students I've worked with. Last exam results day, all of my students achieved their target grades, with the majority achieving a grade boundary above. I am also proud of how many of my student's confidences flourished through working with me, an area I focus on and have a lot of passion for.

My biggest success was with an English as a secondary language student, who had missed a lot o secondary school and started studying for her GCSE exams with me in March, to take the exams in May. I was extremely proud that she achieved two B's on results day, having worked with me 3 hours a day towards the exams! I also worked with an A Level student who was predicted a D but received an A on result day, so I have a strong record of grade success.

I have experience with students of all abilities, from higher ability to students with specialist educational needs and English as a secondary language. This was further developed during my time as a cover teaching assistant, where I worked with SEND students during their exams, and during my time volunteering at a school in Spain, where I supported the English teacher and taught English as a secondary language.

I have taught English GCSE and A Level across all exam boards, but have worked more specifically with the Cambridge and Edexcel systems. Moreover, I have experience of marking across all of the above exam boards and am confident that I can teach a wider variety of exam boards. I am familiar with marking criteria across my subject area and have supported students through the examination process.

I have also taught across key stage 3 in both subjects. In English, this includes poetry, prose, plays (both modern and Shakespeare), creative writing and English language. In Drama, I have taught classes on a variety of acting techniques and texts, including devising performances for Drama GCSE.

I have also taught IB students, AP English students and students following the 11+ system in Australia. I have also supported personal statement writing.
