A bit about Katie S

I have worked in secondary education for over 12 years and I have 7 years senior leadership experience as well as a Masters degree from Cambridge University. I have successfully taught RE GCSE & A-level (specialising in Ethics) as well as sociology GCSE & A-level and Psychology GCSE throughout my 12 years of classroom teaching. I have a passion for teaching students of all abilities and I love to work to get the most out of my students in a fun and exciting way where they enjoy their learning. I specialise in RE, Philosophy & ethics, sociology, psychology and Health & Social Care. I have taught this range of subjects for 12 years and I was a GCSE exam marker for RE for 2 years. I have a wealth of experience in exam skills and essay writing at GCSE and A-level. I understand that for many essay writing is a challenge so I like to work with my students on easy to remember techniques linking directly to the exam board requirements. I have experience in RE exam marking too so I like to draw on that knowledge to share with my students the things an examiner would be looking for in their essay writing style of writing to the content that will gain them maximum awarded marks. I have had great success in my subjects with students achieving top grades and opting to go to university to study my subject. It is so rewarding to know that I have been able to instill such a love of the subject into an individual that they opt to take it on at a higher education level. My lessons are usually very well received. I like to use a range of engaging sources such as images, video clips, quotations, story telling etc I like to engage my students with fun quizzes or other such activities in order to make the learning process fun & enjoyable. I will always link in exam skills especially for GCSE and A-level lessons and draw on my years of experience teaching at this level. For GCSE and A-level, looking at past papers and example essays or example exam answers is of paramount importance. Ultimately, I want my students to feel confident and prepared for their exams so I will also link exam skills to my lessons to ensure that they understand how to transfer their knew knowledge from our lesson to the exam setting. I am just starting tutoring! I am excited to bring my 12 years classroom experience into the field of tutoring.
