Frances D.

I'm an experienced teacher, of 22 years, who is a highly motivated and conscientious individual, committed to teaching with enthusiasm.

I'm an organised tutor with a good sense of humour, calm and professional manner and thrive on working with children and helping them to learn. I enjoy the range of students (KS1-KS3) I teach and helping children to have fun learning as well as the challenges and exciting opportunities that tutoring brings. I also have experience of teaching students with Dyslexia and students who are neurodiverse and/or have additional needs.

I teach in a confident, friendly and patient manner. I use a range of resources to keep my teaching stimulating, interesting and exciting. I encourage active interaction within my tutoring in order to gain the best from the students I teach. I build a strong rapport with the students, so that they enjoy their subject and fully benefit from the teaching. I use a range of individually tailored resources and teaching styles for each student I teach and use different methods specific to their learning.

Ultimately I aim to make the children enthusiastic about learning, and confident in their knowledge and understanding of the subject.

My interests that I bring to teaching include a range of different activities. I enjoy cooking, reading, listening to music and I like to participate in different sports. These include swimming (including cold water swimming!) skiing, tennis and running. In my leisure time I also enjoy music concerts, going to the theatre and long walks in the countryside with friends.
