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. No matter what your goals are, 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 tours for parents and students in the evening. 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 I struggled with during my first year.

Tutoring Approach

I teach with a flexible approach, and I am ready to tailor my lessons to your individual needs and preferences. I have a range of skills that I can draw upon to help you overcome any obstacles you may be facing. I am confident 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.
