Amy R.

I am a Medical intern with previous experience of being a teaching assistant for 11+ preparation. I have a keen interest in helping students achieve their highest potential, using interactive and online education to engage and improve their abilities in the desired subject.

I’m a Musical Theatre Student at Edge Hill University, with a huge passion for reading and the arts! I also love to travel and I’m currently in the process of writing my own play. As well as this I love music and I can play loads of instruments and sing!

I have been teaching English online for over three-years now. This has included English as a foreign language and GCSE/ A level English literature and language. I graduated last year with a first-class degree in English literature and Language in Cardiff University and received a scholarship in my second year for being the best performing pupil in my cohort. English teaching has long been a passion of mine and my role has evolved to encompass academic writing support, something that I feel should be taught in school and is sought after by examiners across all exam boards. My students always achieve their goals through hard work, regular tutoring and lots of writing practice! I am currently a part-time Master's student of a TESOL and Education programme in Cardiff and my intention is to lecture this subject in the near future after my PHD. Alongside my own studying, I volunteer at an asylum-seeker charity 4 hours a week teaching adults basic skills such as digital literacy, English communication and life skills. I am also responsible for about 4 young learners who I have taught consistently over the last three-years. Please read some of my lovely pupils' comments about their online tutoring experience with me below: -

Hi, I'm Hannah and I'm a medical student at the University of Sheffield. I studied biology, chemistry, physics and maths at A-level, whilst enjoying creative extracurricular activities. I love sharing my passion for my subject and I hope you can see this through my teaching! I achieved all grade A's in my A-Levels, and all grade 8's and 9's in my GCSEs. I also achieved my grade 8 in both violin and piano, as well as intermediate (level 3) in ballet and tap. Having completed work experience both online and in person I can work well in a professional environment, whilst still being engaging and approachable for my students. I developed these people skills through my working as a teaching assistant at my dance school for a group of young adults with various physical and learning disabilities.
