Sigourney

I have had the pleasure of being a full-time tutor for over a year, and I genuinely appreciate the experience this role has given me. Throughout this time, I have gained significant experience assisting children aged 7 to 16 in subjects such as English, maths, and science. My approach involves utilising a variety of engaging activities and teaching methods to help my students grasp new concepts effectively. I typically work with groups of up to four students, allowing me to provide individual attention to each and ensure they receive the support and guidance they need.
I hold a genetics degree and am keenly interested in microbiology and the genetics of microorganisms. In addition to my academic background, I proudly served as the secretary for the genetics society and had the rewarding experience of mentoring first-year students. I also possess experience in a school tutoring setting, focusing on supporting those who encounter challenges in the classroom environment.

Tutoring Experience

I have experience teaching students of all ages, from primary school to college, and I have helped those with varying learning challenges. I have been tutoring full-time for a year now. My degree has equipped me with strong quantitative skills, and I am highly proficient in writing essays and answering short-form questions. Regardless of your goals, I can help you achieve them.
During college, I had the privilege of serving as an ambassador. My responsibilities included leading tours for groups of high school students during the day and conducting evening tours for parents and students. I also set up experiments and showcased the college's offerings. I had the fantastic opportunity to mentor first-year students in my second and third years. This experience was enriching because I could relate to their anxieties and offer guidance on areas where I had struggled during my first year.
I am currently studying for an MA in Education.

Tutoring Approach

I teach with a flexible approach, and I am ready to tailor my lessons to your individual needs and preferences. I have extensive experience teaching children and adults with learning difficulties. I am confident in creating customised lessons catering to your unique learning style and objectives. Whether you enjoy interactive games or practice questions, I am adaptable and can modify my teaching style to suit your preferences.
