About Ashley

-Cambridge ESOL-accredited teacher -educated to PhD level (History; not complete) -over 13 years’ experience tutoring all ages, from primary school to retirees -taught undergraduate seminars at university -as a Senior Examiner for the British Council, managed entrance exam assessments for some of the top schools in China Many students come to tutoring because their needs aren’t being met by a one-size-fits-all approach in a class of 15-30 students at school. So it’s crucial to build on student’s prior learning and experience, meeting them where they are and taking into account their diverse needs. This involves an expert assessment right at the start, which a bespoke course designed for the individual student can be based on. I design study plans with a focus on results, while including plenty of fun activities and games which put students in the right frame of mind for learning. I focus initially on the core elements of a topic or skill to achieve rapid improvement, then later come back and practise and elaborate on for deeper understanding and longer-term advancement. My approach is patient and warm as I believe students thrive the most when they know their tutor is in their corner, encouraging them at every step. Seeing students grow in confidence and especially seeing those lightbulb moments when they suddenly understand something new, is why I love teaching. This positive approach gives students the best possible chance of success, which they can replicate in all aspects of their lives. I regularly teach students whose experience of learning this subject has made them averse to it and I enjoy turning this around - establishing enthusiasm and interest where there was reluctance and frustration. We always review material at the start and end of every class to make sure it’s not just learned, but remembered. I’m also happy to mark work in between classes. I discuss the outcome of each lesson with parents so that everyone is clear on progress.

I help students excel at essay-based subjects: -coursework -going through past papers -revision/preparation for exams (iGCSE, AQA, OCR and Pearson Edexcel) At university-level I also help with BA-MA essays, presentations, and dissertations. As a Graduate Teaching Assistant at the University of Manchester I have experience marking undergraduate papers, giving feedback, mentoring students through the process and teaching study skills, research methods, and essay techniques. During my PhD (not complete) I also presented a paper on 20th Century British Cultural History at Rethinking Modern British Studies conference in 2015, which received excellent feedback from eminent historians from around the world. I help students achieve their best possible grade at GCSE or A-level and ensure they gain entry to their college/university of choice. I structure sessions to meet your individual goals. Moreover, I improve general study skills for all students, which raises their level across all other subjects. For essays, we tackle structure and staying on-topic, how to be more analytical instead of narrative, how to organise and sequence your points, how to select the best evidence to reinforce your points, how to evaluate your points, and how to write concisely and with impact. With essays, students often need to see with their own eyes how the process works, for it to click. For those who want to learn humanities, creative writing or social science without exams or a specific goal in mind – purely for interest and love of learning, this is also something I love to help with. I continually have such learning projects of my own, so I know how to turn this into a fun project and ensure you get the most out of it.
