Personal Description: I am an English Teacher. I have worked in schools for over 10 years with students at varying stages. I very much enjoy one to one work with students. I have qualifications in working with dyslexic learners and autistic learners. I have a a daughter in S4 who is very driven and focused and a son in S2 who needs extra support in the class room. I feel I understand on a professional and a personal level the challenges and issues in the english classroom.

Tutoring Experience: Seven years in primary schools general class room assistant,
3 years in a secondary school for students with specific learning difficulties, ie ADHD, Dyslexia, Visual impairment, stress related issues.
1 year as a tutoring a student with dyslexia
1 year tutoring a boy who's first language is Portugese.
1 year tutoring a primary school pupil with dyslexia.
Teaching Secondary S1 - S6. [English]

Tutoring Approach: I believe many problems students are experience are around confidence issues. Not having time in the class room to truly grasp concepts, can leave students constantly lost and not able to reach their potential. During sessions I can diagnose the key areas that are causing problems. I can then working out a set of strategies with that student that will allow them to feel more confident and on top of the work expected of them.

From Diane Forrest (5/5): invaluable to have the type of tutoring input that Kate needs, as we (parents) don't have the the skills to provide this. A good rapport, and it seems that the most effective ways for Kate to learn and remember have been estabished.This suggests that you have got to know know her pretty well,and in quite a short period of time, too! There have been benefits from the contacts in terms of improved confidence and performance, and hopefull these will continue.

Reply from: Janet Mochan: Thankyou for these comments. I am really enjoying working with Kate!
