My Summary

I Offer Friendly And Relaxed Lessons To Children And Nannies.

My Experience

I have had a good variety of experiences during my working life! I have always had caring roles which include being a Nurse/Carer, Legal Secretary, Salvation Army Officer, Apprenticeship Support Officer, Cleaner, Companion, Dog Walker, Pet/House sitter, I help people with their UK Driving Theory Test, and, of course, as an Online Tutor!

I work as a freelance private tutor and for various online companies, including Cambly and GoStudent (who chose me as their English Tutor of the Year)! I have about 5,000 hours of online tutoring experience. I've taught students from all over the world of all ages and abilities, as well as in the UK! So, I have learned to be adaptable to each individual student.

My future plan is to grow my private tuition business. I am a reliable, kind, calm and caring tutor. I am not bound by a curriculum and like to work with the students (and parents) to create an individual plan to help them achieve their learning goals and desires. However, I can tailor my lessons to the UK National curriculum if desired. I try to make my classes interesting and fun because I believe that students learn best in a relaxed environment. I sometimes sing and use crafts as part of my lessons. However, I do expect the student to be respectful and attentive in class.

Mindfulness Teaching - I have completed my Meditation Teacher's Diploma, which I passed with a distinction. I am also nearing completion of my Level 2 Emotional Freedom Technique Practitioners course. In my role as an online tutor, I (with the parents' permission) have helped students cope with exam stress and anxiety.

The Dalai Lama is quoted as saying, "If every 8-year-old in the world is taught meditation, we will eliminate violence from the world within one generation". I am a Quaker and a Buddhist in the Plum Village Tradition. The founder, Thich Nhat Hanh, highly valued the teaching of mindfulness and meditation for children for their well-being. His book, 'Happy Teachers Change the World," is an inspiration!
