About Emily
I have been teaching or working with children for the last 4 years, and I spent a lot of time at University volunteering as a literacy assistant prior to that.
I first began teaching KS1 and KS2 English in Hong Kong in early 2016. This involved courses geared around Trinity classes, Cambridge English and heavy phonics. I was promoted to the role of 'Centre Head Teacher', which ultimately involved liaising between the centre manager and the teaching team in curriculum production. I also privately tutored a 15 year old student with his grammar and writing comprehension.
After 18 months of successfully getting students through their Trinity and Cambridge exams, I moved to South Korea to continue teaching English. I was soon promoted to the more advanced English class known as 'Athena', which involved prepping children aged 9-11 for their interviews to enter middle school. We had a great success rate!!
Since moving to London in January 2019, I have worked across two independent schools. From January 2019 - July 2019, I worked in the clubs team at Holy Cross Prep School. This involved the administrative duties of communicating with parents, alongside mucking in and helping out in a variety of sporty and creative clubs.
My current role is as a Teaching Assistant for Year 2 at Glendower Prep School in South Kensington. I run various booster groups of 2-6 children in Maths and English, and am delighted to say that they are making excellent progress with their learning. As of September 2020, I will be teacher training to allow me to finally become (UK) qualified to continue my teaching experiences!

Hello, my name is Emily and I've been meaning to get back into tutoring for ages!
I am currently offering lessons in English as a Second Language, as well as KS1 and KS2 Maths and/or English.
I am a positive, friendly and creative individual and I have enjoyed working with children for almost all of my working life. For me, there is nothing more rewarding than helping children work towards that light bulb moment and getting the results that they need to help them on their way to their best future possible.
I am a strong believer of independent learning through practice and creativity. For this reason, I provide many student led lessons where I creatively guide them toward finding their own solutions and answers - while of course stepping in and breaking it back down to basics if and when this is too difficult!
Whilst ticking off curriculum goals, I aspire to keep each lesson varied and novel in some way. This is to ensure that learning doesn't become repetitive, as through experience I know that variation is how learning is best retained.

Emily and I met at a preparatory school where she quickly became a valued and respected member of the team. She quickly took on a variety of responsibilities, whilst showing much initiative and flexibility in the busy school environment. Her work ethic and determination have never failed to impress me. Emily’s friendly yet strong manner allows her to be approachable as well as firm when needed to manage a classroom in a professional way. She has a natural ability to connect to others and build relationships not only with other members of staff but more importantly her students. I have known Emily to always approach the children with kind patience and each at their individual level. Furthermore, her caring interactions and creativity with the children and her attentiveness were valued by all. Emily has always been passionate about teaching, which comes so naturally to her; she continues to strive to provide creative and fun lessons that will get everyone involved and interested.
I have had the pleasure of knowing Emily for a number of years, and seen her develop her love for teaching and children’s development throughout this time. Her time teaching abroad in Hong Kong and Southern Korea and commitment she made to excelling in her roles, being promoted to teacher and team leader respectively, is impressive enough in itself, but even more impressive in the context of her pursuit of additional formal qualifications through the Open University at the same time.
Emily speaks fondly of the children she has worked with over the years, both as a teacher and a carer, and judging by the number of cards she has received from them when leaving roles this feeling is most definitely reciprocated. I find that Emily is a truly active listener, and she uses this skill to really understand and read the people she is around which makes her truly insightful as to how to get the best out of those she is around.View more recommendations
