Experience
* Previous tutoring experience: - Spanish tutor in local school, Hove School: I have been able to contribute to teach my native language to young people, through one to one conversations (to develop their oral skills), and helping them with writing and comprehension. - English, Science and Maths tutor, in Barcelona area (SPAIN): • Teaching children, young people and adults one to one and using my own study techniques has helped me realise my own strengths. • I was able to combine my academic studies with this job experience while developing my own teaching skills. Key Skills gained: time management, self-discipline, decision making, evaluating and monitoring progress, taking initiative, motivation, punctuality, self-management, responsibility, planning, organising, as well as further developing my working and communication skills. * IGCSEs (The British School of Barcelona): 9 subjects all passed at grade B or above (four A*s), Including English literature, Biology and Chemistry. GCSEs English and Spanish: grade A* and A respectively. * I am interested in helping students with their studies as I love teaching and I have always proved to have good working and communications skills (my students have always been very happy with the results). I have been teaching languages for many years too, having to work with international students of different levels, and this would definitely allow me to help students in understanding better what they have to do, no matter what subject it is that they are having problems with. I am extremely keen to help people in their learning process. * - Institute of North American studies, Barcelona (SPAIN), Certificate of Advanced English. - The British Council, Barcelona (SPAIN), Certificate in Advanced English (CAE) from the University of Cambridge ESOL Examinations. - IT:highly competent in Word, Excel and PowerPoint.
