Greetings people,

My name is Jay and I have 15 years experience working as a Financial Analyst in Business and Government in North America and Europe.

I have been teaching at university level since 2007 as a lecturer, tutor and learning skills support academic. I am able to work well with students at risk, gifted high-achieving students as well as other students.

I am passionate about education and teaching. I wish for all students to succeed with their studies, career and life-course. I bring a customer-service, students-first approach to my teaching. I also have a strong work ethic, especially when it comes to being reliable (i.e. doing as I promise) and punctuality (i.e. returning work on time and attending meetings on time).

I am able to assist with: 

*Preparing assignments 
*Writing academic appeals 
*Applying for scholarships 
*Proofreading written work 
*Mentoring and personal support 
*Writing your dissertation/proposal 
*Research and sourcing library materials 
*Learning skills and academic referencing 
*Career planning, CV and job applications 
*Creating and interpreting a Turnitin © report. I have upload access to Turnitin. HOBBIES My university research interests examine the benefits of the one tutor-one student model using online learning and face-to-face tuition. I have written papers that examine best practices in this area and am happy to share these with others. 

I celebrate human diversity and enjoy with with people of all genders, ages, religions, races, genders, orientations and locations. 

I have traveled widely in North America, Europe and Asia. 

I prefer to listen to my clients and learn from them and their needs, rather than talk about myself.

Thank you for reading my profile. I wish you the best with your studies.

Description: In the past six years, I have been fortunate enough to have taught both French and English to students of all ages in the UK, US and China. After teaching French in British secondary schools, I enjoyed the opportunity of working with younger students in Chicago. I have recently returned to the US after three years of teaching English as a second language in China.

Although I greatly enjoy being in the classroom, working on a one to one basis offers many rewards for me such as the chance to tailor lessons to meet the exact needs and expectations of students as well as see their rapid progress. I love getting to know students and bringing their interests into our lessons.

My most recent experience in China led me to teach English to students ages 3 through 18. During this time I planned and taught exciting lessons that focused on developing all language skills. Variety as well as student engagement are very important to me and that is reflected in my lessons that incorporate games, grammar exercises, reading or writing focused activities and a lot of communication practice. I hold a TEFL certificate.

When I was five years old, my family moved to France from the UK. I underwent my entire education from primary to university there. Because of this, not only am I now bilingual but I also have a deep and personal love of French culture. My teaching qualifications center around teaching modern foreign languages, in particular French.

Languages have really opened up the world for me and I have enjoyed so many incredible experiences thanks to them. I hope I can help you do the same!      << View Less
