Laura

I am a highly experienced business teacher and senior examiner, currently teaching at an independent school where business is one of the most popular subjects at both GCSE and A Level.

I thoroughly enjoy teaching and I am passionate about my subject. This, along with my approachable and supportive nature enables me to develop good relationships with students and help them gain their full potential.

Tutoring Experience

As part of my role as a teacher, I run support sessions for students which involve both small groups and 1to1 sessions depending on the individual needs. In doing so, I am able to tailor my sessions to the needs of the students and ensure that they gain the support they need to progress.

I am currently a senior examiner for AQA and have experience of two other examination boards. As such, my role requires me to lead a team of examiners through the examination process and provide advice and guidance to them to ensure that they thoroughly understand the mark schemes presented to them. As a result, I have extensive knowledge and understanding of exam specifications and how to focus on the demands of the question and develop a logical chain of reasoning to gain maximum marks.

Tutoring Approach

My approach to teaching takes into account the individual needs of the student. I feel that it is important to first determine the level and learning style of the student so that future sessions can meet their needs.

As a tutor, my role will be to help students understand new topics as well as address any areas of confusion. Through the use of past papers we will analyse examination questions and case studies to help ensure that they feel confident when entering an examination.
