About Emily
I have been working in secondary schools for ten years, 8 of those as a qualified teacher. I first came into teaching after my own English teacher became such an inspiration to me at school and since moving my career into the classroom, have never looked back.
I have experience of teaching full classes, small groups and individual students at Key Stage 2, Key Stage 3, GCSE and A/AS Level. Although my specialism is the study of English and Literacy, I also offer academic mentoring for other essay based subjects at Post-16. I have recently been working on expanding my expertise, so that I am now able to offer tutoring for the 11+ in English.
If you are an adult looking for support through tutoring services, I am pleased to be able to offer tutoring in professional English, including preparation for verbal reasoning and other professional qualification assessments, as well as proof reading for essay subjects at degree and post graduate level.
As an in-service teacher, I now have a wealth of experience in online teaching! For the past twelve months, the whole teaching profession has been able to access a surge of professional learning linked to online lessons and best practice, and this is something I have embraced with open arms.
I use a range of platforms to deliver tutoring, depending on the best fit for each student. What each platform has in common is a firm focus on personalisation and safeguarding everyone involved in the tutoring interaction. This might include using a shared interactive whiteboard, video calls, document sharing or online learning game platforms. It will all depend on the person learning and how they prefer to learn.
As with in-person tutoring, my focus is firmly on using kindness and empathy to personalise and expediate the learning process.

My focus is to get to know my student and discover what they need to know, and how they prefer to learn it. This usually involves completing a phone based consultation prior to a face to face lesson in order to understand my student's needs. At all time, the focus of my approach is to bring kindness and compassion to the learning process.

Emily has been my English tutor for about a year. I have weekly sessions with Emily. My tutor sessions have been incredibly encouraging and have positively impacted upon my English grades and helped my general understanding during my English lessons. I am very happy with the improvements made in both English Literature and English Language. Due to the Lockdown, Emily and I have had to find an alternative way of conducting our sessions and so have been using Skype. I have found this method of communication to be very helpful. Maintaining our sessions through Skype have helped us both to keep up to date throughout this time off school. I would highly recommend Emily as an English Tutor. Emily explains the subject thoroughly, carefully and in a manner that contributes to a much better and clearer understanding of the subject.
Emily tutored both of my children through their English GCSEs when she was studying for her first degree. She got on well with both of them and taught them to take responsibility for their studies and outcomes.
