Hi! I’m an ambitious student studying Music at Durham University and really enjoy tutoring! I began my tutoring journey at the start of Sixth Form with a company called Explore Learning and ended up liking it more than I’d thought at the time. Now that I’m studying at university, with much more experience, I would love to use my course as a basis to return as a tutor for Music and Music theory.

Tutoring Experience

• Worked for over a year at Explore Learning (December 2022-July 2024) primarily as an English and Maths tutor.
• Experience tutoring a range of ages from 4-15 - taught me to be adaptable and cater to student’s learning styles.
• Welfare and Safeguarding trained
• Various responsibilities as music prefect at Sixth Form gave me many transferable skills, e.g. helping students from younger years during choirs and orchestras by leading sectionals.
• Am on the executive team for the University Choir as Librarian this year - engaged in looking at choral scores extracurricularly too.

Tutoring Approach

• Flexible - centred around the specific student - with a focus on individual-tailored lessons that draw on their preferred learning style.
• Scaffolding technique - emphasis on giving the student the tools to understand areas they find difficult without micro managing their learning to ultimately to give them the confidence in attempting questions independently.
• Interactive sessions - learning concepts alongside the application to ensure clarity and understanding.
