About Ellen

My name is Ellen. I am a MA Musical Theatre (distinction) and BA hons (1st class) graduate specialising in Drama, Theatre and Performance. I also hold a PGDE in Further and Post-compulsory education (awarded a Distinction) and have been working as a cover teacher in secondary schools and colleges for three years.

I have gained a wealth of experience in teaching Drama and Acting students aged 16-18 at LIPA Sixth Form and in various other college settings as well as teaching in an SEND setting and alternative provision. I have developed a detailed knowledge of teaching, learning and assessment and have developed an approach to teaching which takes into account each student's individual learning style and involves finding creative solutions to ensure that all students are able to progress based on exam board and curriculum criteria in a friendly, relaxed classroom environment.

While I have specialised in Drama for the most part, I am also experienced in English Literature and Film Studies, and willing to tutor both English Literature and Film Studies at A Level and English at GCSE level. Notably, having worked as a cover supervisor for all subjects at secondary level, I am also able to tutor most subjects and would be willing to discuss the possibility of assisting with subjects that are not English, Drama or Film Studies if need be.

For me, student engagement is incredibly important and I believe that a student who is not engaged will not be able to learn and progress to the best of their ability. This is why I focus on student centred, interactive, creative solutions to learning, finding alternative ways of explaining content while ensuring that these creative solutions effectively address assessment criteria and enable progression. From my experience, I have noticed that teachers who work with students as opposed to simply planning for and transmitting information to them, have the greater success rates and so this is the approach which I favour.

Having worked in education and undertaken a teacher training course at post-graduate level, I have a lot of experience in effectively planning and delivering sessions for diverse groups of individuals in an inclusive and welcoming environment. At the beginning of each lesson, the objectives for that lesson will be presented to the student and by the end of the lesson I will assess how far I feel that these objectives have been met. This will be based on questioning the student and setting formative assessment tasks throughout the lesson. Each session will be planned to suit the needs of individual students and so each introductory session will serve to give me an idea of exactly what this student needs and how they may need to work in order for me to plan to suit them.
