Hi! I am Courtney, i'm a qualified tutor who has a vast amount of experience with tutoring SEN and homeschooled children.

I have worked in a number of schools across Doncaster, typically working in 1:1 educational support roles. This has enabled me to develop my teaching skill set and has allowed me to adapt my skills to a wide range of pupil needs. I have experience with a number of different additional needs, including ADHD, Autism, and Dyslexia.

During my own schooling as a teenager and young adult I homeschooled; this enabled me to build a strong ability to plan lessons and gather resources as I had to teach myself the course content for both my GCSE's and A-levels. Homeschooling allowed me to develop a deeper understanding of the education system and I feel I have a unique outlook and teaching style because of this experience. I want to use my skills that I have gathered to help support my students to achieve their educational goals.

I also cover IGCSE sciences to accommodate for children sitting exams as external candidates.

I work by splitting the topics up and teaching them in a way that is understandable and engaging. I work a lot with past papers as I find the best way to study for an exam is to practice as much as possible looking at the actual exam, this not only gets students used to answering questions in a way that exam boards want but helps to solidify key knowledge too. I specialise in teaching the AQA syllabus for Psychology but I am able to adapt to any exam board if requested.
