Private Tutor in Hinckley

My Summary

My Experience

Dear Family,

My name is Jennifer and I was born in Cambridgeshire but grew up in Leicestershire.
I’m a trilingual professional (British English native, fluent in French and Spanish) currently working freelance in language, tutoring and mentoring services. I’ve been working in education for about 8 years, starting with teaching French and Spanish and tutoring across all subjects up to KS4, before going into more pastoral roles at top independent UK boarding schools. I enjoy all types of teaching, tutoring and childcare and my experience with young people lies between ages 2-18. My experience also extends to working with and supporting children with SEN, including direct experience with those affected by autism and ADHD. I have also spent a large period of time over the last 2 years in London as a private household Nanny/Tutor/PA for a variety of families. It was a great pleasure to experience and understand the discretion and flexibility needed to work in this kind of household.

Before working in education, I worked in travel & tourism, including living and working in France and Spain and also spending nearly 3 years working on board a cruise ship. I’ve acquired many transferable skills from the world of tourism, including the ease of adapting to different environments and being able to communicate on all levels.

I absolutely love working with children and feel genuine pride in seeing them develop and improve. I am always concerned for my students' academic and emotional well-being and have remained in touch with many former charges. I am extremely dedicated to assisting my students reach their full potential and I am especially good at coaching them for public or private exams and entrance interviews. I am just as devoted to younger students and like to ensure that I am addressing both their strengths and their weaknesses. It is a great pleasure for me to see their progress.

I am very grounded and down to earth; these qualities influence my value system and morals. I aim to be kind to everyone and to act fairly and with respect. I am patient with my charges and adopt a warm a nurturing approach with clear boundaries. I am polite and adaptable and have been brought up to put others first. A Governess/Nanny role is fitting for me as it requires the coming together of many skills.

I like the theatre, reading and learning about new cultures. I love languages and in addition to being fluent in French & Spanish I have basic knowledge of Italian & Portuguese.
I enjoy all sports including a strong passion for netball and football. I love exploring cities and showing my students how exciting exploring new places can be.

I hope this gives a little picture of who I am.

Warmest wishes and kindest regards,

Jennifer
