Hobbies

I'm very easy-going, approachable and have excellent interpersonal skills. My approach to tutoring is to build up a knowledge base for the student that they can draw on even after tutoring ceases. Especially in English, it takes time and effort, so I like getting to know the student and figuring out what approach will make them most comfortable / able to succeed. I also emphasise reading, because I spend a lot of my own time reading and writing, and it definitely enriches my life and my ability to speak and write well. Generally, I find that students need to find a balance between working on their school work and also working on small tasks that will improve their overall command of writing and English. For me, tutoring is a genuinely lovely job, because it intersects with the things I'm most passionate about, which are reading and writing. I've been writing my own work for years, and have been attending poetry events and am hoping to submit a manuscript towards the end of the year. Even for students who really struggle with English, there are ways of making it easier and more enjoyable, and giving them the ability to return to a structure and execute it flawlessly.
