Zoe

I am a full time Head of RS who enjoys sharing a passion for, and expertise in, my subject area. I want my learners to be able to reach or surpass their predicted grades in specific examinations, but also to enjoy the subject for the reason they chose it in the first place.

Tutoring Experience

I have 26 years secondary teaching experience (PGCE in RE) teaching RS/Theology/Philosophy/Ethics at GCSE and A Level, I teach from the OCR and Eduqas and AQA syllabus. I teach any areas and whilst I specialise in Christianity/Buddhism/Islam I also teach other major world religions to a high level. I have been an OCR examiner for GCSE and A Level Religious Studies and am now an AQA GCSE examiner. I also supervise the AQA EPQ and would be happy to explain or supervise the qualification if required.

Tutoring Approach

I have an excellent appreciation of the needs of learners, including Dyslexia and Autism and those who are hearing impaired. I have great rapport with my students and I believe in teaching content alongside study skills. I tutor using Zoom, which I find provides educational functionality whilst saving time on travel. I use PowerPoint on screen, and also email resources through to learners and mark work and send it back electronically. Please contact me for further information and an informal no obligation discussion regarding your learning needs. I probably could tutor in your home, but it would need to fit in with my term-time schedule (near Banbury/Chipping Norton area). I am happy to meet frequently throughout the academic year, and also during holiday time, or for intensive pre-examination revision and understanding the technique required for answering examination questions. I am happy to be flexible; payment should be made before sessions via bank transfer.
