Jessica F - Private Tutor in London and Oxford
I have just returned to the UK after 20 months in New Delhi, India, where I was working as an Education Consultant and teaching the SAT and ACT. I gained my undergraduate degree from Cambridge University, and have over three years experience teaching students from Primary age up to GCSE. I am open to residential positions and roles involving travel. I love to engage my pupils in extra-curricular activities such as sports, arts and crafts, trips and days out, and educational visits.

My Tutoring & Teaching Experience
After graduating from Cambridge University with a degree in Human, Social, and Political Science, I participated in the Teach First Leadership Development Programme. This involved a six-week intense teacher training course, followed by a 3 month placement as a primary school teacher in the UK. I then turned to full-time private tutoring, working with students to achieve success in 11+ and GCSE exams as well as building confidence and enthusiasm. I moved to India in 2017 to teach elite students preparing for entry to top American and UK universities. Over the past two years I have taught the full ACT and/or SAT curriculum to over 50 students.
My Approach to Tutoring
I always take the time to get to know each student as an individual, and then I create a study plan based on their specific needs and learning style. I believe in teaching the foundations of the subject first, then gradually building on this base. I reinforce every new concept with practice exercises, and I try to introduce creative and fun aspects to every class. I give regular mock tests to students who are working towards exams, and I encourage independent learning and the development of healthy study habits.
