Alice

Certified Tutor

I believe that the years people spend studying are some of the hardest years of their life; even if you enjoy learning. To be in education can often be quite overwhelming for some people and for this reason I am passionate about supporting/helping students to learn and achieve their full potential. It is extremely important whilst studying to have a good support system and so being a tutor is important to me as I can provide that extra academic support that might be needed.

I recently spent six months abroad teaching English and it was incredible. The most rewarding thing was seeing the students improve in their English. Although the only experience I have in teaching, it was a very full on experience that allowed me to improve my skills substantially.

I went abroad to teach after graduating from the University of Buckingham in December 2021. I studied Psychology and Spanish which are the two of the subjects I will be tutoring on this platform. I will also offer tutoring in English. Although Psychology was my major subject at university, I enjoy tutoring Spanish more as I really connect with the language and enjoy teaching people the language thus giving them the opportunity to communicate with so many people around the world. Knowing how to speak another language has opened so many doors for me and I'd love for other people to experience this too.

My tutoring style is very relaxed. I'm often happy to change the way I do things to accommodate to the students needs. For me this is the best teaching style because everyone learns best in different ways so I believe it's important to listen to how the student(s) learn best and try to support them in a way that best suits them. I'm very passionate about helping others learn but I also understand it is a two way process and so the student must also be engaged for any information to stick. For this reason, I also ask a lot of questions to ensure that the student feels as though the method of teaching is working for them.

Outside of academia I enjoy going to the gym or doing yoga. I'm also a very social person so spending time with friends is very important to me. We often like to listen to music together and discover new artists/songs.
