About Orla
Hello! I'm Orla, I'm 27 years old living in London.
I currently work in theatre and TV production but have a wealth of background in teaching and tutoring.
Having worked with autistic children for 3 years in a primary school and worked in many schools in London as a teaching assistant, I have a very good understanding of not only the curricular needs of children but the emotional and holistic approach to educating young people.
Having achieved first class honours in my undergraduate degree and a distinction in my Masters, I am more than confident in tutoring my chosen subjects.
I am an avid reader of books, poetry, and plays, and have a solid and comprehensive understanding of the texts most often on the GCSE and A Level syllabus for both English Literature and Theatre Studies. I also play piano to a Grade 8 standard.
I am a friendly, approachable and confident individual and therefore have no problem teaching shy or reserved kids.
In the past, I have taught beginners piano to age 7-10, Year 3 and 4 Maths and Literacy, and Year 5 Maths.

When it comes to tutoring, I have found that a goal-based approach works best, whether that be to achieve a school's predicted grade or a self-set objective. It is also important to me that the student has fun whilst learning!

Recommendations
Recommendations come from relatives, friends and acquaintances of the teacher
We highly recommend Miss Orla as a tutor for primary school students. We have had the pleasure of working with her the past two years. She is a well-organized teacher who develops inspiring relationships with her students.
Her passion, experience and patience helped our son to overcome his learning difficulties. Her ability to connect with her students and her talent at teaching simple concepts, as well as more advanced topics, are both truly superior.
Miss Orla accomplishes all such tasks with such a positive attitude.I've known Orla for 10 years now and she has always been incredibly reliable, honest and hardworking. Her patience with the children that she was working with at the school over the past couple of years was second to none - Orla was always so supportive of the children that had such high needs whilst also tailoring her teaching style to whatever the individual required. Although I put down 'English' as the subject, Orla is capable of teaching a wide range of things to children because of her teaching assistant experience in a primary school - resulting in her techniques being fun, creative and enjoyable. Orla reads a lot, has a passion for the arts and is very knowledgeable of current affairs so I've no doubt she'd be a fantastic addition to your books. I'm confident that Orla is a brilliant tutor.
