My Summary
About Me
Literature is Magic Tutoring provides private online tutoring services to students studying the KS3, GCSE, and A-Level English curriculum, inc. adult and casual learners.
I use my expertise in English, as well as my knowledge of the curriculum, to observe and discern level and ability in order to create a progress plan that encourages growth. On a personal front, I’m an advocate for trauma-informed teaching practices. I take a caring approach and ensure that my students feel seen, heard, and supported.
It means the world to me when I am able to get through to a student and help them realise their potential. I know how integral it is to a young person’s future, to develop meaningful and impactful relationships and experiences during education. I hope to emulate this in every experience going forward.
My Experience
2:1 Degree in English
Graduating university with a 2:1 degree in English Literature has given me the expertise to tutor students at earlier stages of study.
Exam Board Knowledge
I have studied all 4 exam boards offered to students in England (inc. AQA, OCR, Edexcel, and WJEC) to give me a more detailed grasp on what’s expected of students in the present day.
Experience in schools
Between the years 2017 and 2019 I volunteered as an assistant at a few schools where I guided and assisted young people with their school work. It was a fulfilling experience and a student I worked with was awarded for academic progress. The headteacher informed me that my students had grown in confidence, and that they would await our next meeting with excitement. I was asked to stay on further!
Experience with GCSE & A-Level students
I also mentored students aged 16-19 through an online platform known as Brightside. I guided students on their present experiences with education, future prospects and pathways, and university. Similarly, I was informed that by the end of each programme, my students felt very happy and well-guided after working with me. They had all grown in confidence and become clearer about what they wanted to do.
Pastoral Care
Besides the administrative aspects, I have a surprisingly strong memory of what it was like to study English at school. This enables me to put myself in a student’s shoes in order to understand what they might be having trouble with. Leading with a trauma-informed approach is of utmost importance to me. This means creating a safe space free of fear and punishment. My speciality is in working with students who struggle with confidence.
My Qualifications
BA (Hons) English Literature (2:1) and English A-Level and GCSE qualifications.
