Emily Balcombe

I have been teaching English and Drama for nearly 4 years at secondary school level. I am passionate, kind and empathetic to all different types of learning needs. I have experience with working with different abilities and children with ADHD/ASD etc. I studied at the Central School of Speech and Drama receiving a 1st in my degree of Drama, Applied Theatre and Education. I then went on to study at UCL where I did my PGCE in English with Drama.

My lessons will be educational and engaging whilst catering to your child's needs. Tutoring should be a pleasant and beneficial experience for everyone involved. I aim to create a safe and educational environment that uses pedagogical research to help your child's learning outcomes.

Our first lesson will be around getting to know you as a learner and creating a plan around your current curriculum. This will mean working alongside what your main teacher is teaching you and adding lessons that compliment the work that you receive at school. We will work together to identify areas that are more challenging for you. I aim to provide constructive and effective feedback to target these areas whilst creating a supportive environment to feel confident in.
