My Summary
About Me
Hi - I'm Steph, and I am a fully qualified and well-experienced secondary teacher in History and English with a 1st class Masters degree in American Studies (History) and a 2:1 BA in History with modules in English & American Literature. I am looking to work with families to support their child or children's education. My role as a tutor could range from weekly tuition sessions designed to build your child's confidence and skills, all the way through to being a governess or home-learning teacher whom takes a much more involved role in your child's overall education.
Over my seven years in the education sector, both tutoring and teaching, I have received consistent positive parent & student feedback, and graded at a `good/outstanding` level in the classroom, having taught only at `Good` or `Outstanding` institutions.
I fully believe that each student is an individual with their own needs and learning styles that need to be taken into account to ensure that they can effectively progress. As such, each of my tutoring sessions are tailored to the individual student - their areas of strengths and weaknesses, and ensuring each weekly session adapts to those changing needs. My sessions with students are interactive, well-planned, and encourage discussion and the exploration of topics or concepts which allows them to grow more confident in their own knowledge, and to expand their thinking beyond just a formula. With all my students, I have a patient, humorous and understanding approach to create a safe environment where students can feel they are able to openly express the areas that they need help in but also where they can express their own ideas and theories about historical debate or literature, thereby developing their confidence in their own abilities as well as developing their exam skills.
My Experience
I have a wealth of teaching experience across all Key Stages as well at primary level across a range of units and literature texts. I have taught & tutored on Edexcel 9-1 GCSE History, AQA 9-1 GCSE English, AQA 9-1 GCSE History, Edexcel A Level History, OCR A Level History, and the Cambridge IGCSE in History & English.
Student Results:
- 2014: A Level classes gained a 95% Pass rate with 67% of those students achieving grades A-C.
- 2015: AS Level tutee achieved their target AS History grades of A/B
- 2014-2016: A Level tutee who I had taught on a 1-1 basis had started with a Grade E, then achieved an overall Grade A in their A Level History.
- 2017-2019: A Level History tutee who started with a Grade D in Y12, achieved an overall high Grade B.
- 2019: GCSE students all either achieved or exceeded their target grades. One GCSE Student achieved a Grade 8 in English Literature and Grade 9 in History, exceeding a target grade 7 and Grade 8 respectively.
