Theatre Tutors : 1-1 Theatre Lessons

I completed an AS Level award in English Literature and A Levels in History, Psychology and Art and Design. I then achieved a 2:1 in BSc Applied Psychology at Liverpool John Moores University in 2014. In 2018, I successfully completed a PGCert from the University of Birmingham in Low Intensity Psychological Interventions, and in 2021 I qualified as a teacher of Art and Design.
I am a creative-thinking and motivated individual looking for a new challenge to broaden my horizons. I have previously worked as a psychological talking therapist, and I am also a qualified secondary teacher with extensive experience in schools; which has led me to my current role as an SEN tutor for adolescents who are refusing school attendance. My role is to provide them with the emotional support and encouragement needed to return to school, as well as helping them to learn and revise all curriculum material needed to pass their exams. I relish the opportunity to build positive relationships with others, as this is what motivates me, and I love to see meaningful changes which lead to bright futures; as a result of the work that myself and others have put in. I believe that in order to overcome any challenge, the first step is to identify the barriers to change. This requires the development of trusting relationships with students, as well as their parents and key staff members at their enrolled schools. Once these barriers are identified, we are able to collaboratively come up with a tailored plan to integrate students back into school.

With over 16 years of experience in special education, I bring extensive knowledge and expertise to my role as a Specialist Support Tutor. I support learners with ASC, dyslexia, ADHD, physical/medical needs, PDA, SEMH, and dyspraxia. My qualifications include a degree in Special and Inclusive Education, a Level 7 certificate for assessing exam access arrangements, a Cert Ed in Further Education teaching, and QTLS status. I assess learners for their access arrangements in examinations, such as extra time, readers, and scribes.

I am passionate about helping hard-to-reach students, I regularly contribute to EHCP meetings, working closely with learners, parents, carers, and agencies to ensure effective support. My empathy, patience, and adaptability allow me to foster trust and build strong relationships with students, encouraging their confidence and growth. Many learners share their achievements with me beyond college, demonstrating the impact of our communication.
Excellent Communication is key in this role, both in writing and face-to-face as many learner’s lack self-esteem or confidence due to past experiences in education.

My holistic teaching philosophy nurtures both academic growth and personal development, empowering students to reach their full potential.

My name is Kate Valentine Crisp, and I am a writer and educator, raised in Glastonbury I am now based in London. I love teachings and sparking excitement and intrigue amongst my pupils.
Education should be joyful, uplifting, and inspiring. It’s a gateway through which students can unlock their futures, deepen their understanding of the world, and ultimately discover more about themselves. I love working with young people to help them achieve their educational goals. There’s something incredibly rewarding about witnessing that moment when a concept clicks or when a student begins to feel genuine excitement about a subject they once found daunting. My own enthusiasm for my chosen topics fills me with such joy and sharing that with my tutees is a privilege.
More than simply providing the right tools for academic success, I want to spark a sense of curiosity and fascination in my students. My goal is to encourage them to push themselves not out of necessity, but out of genuine interest, a desire to explore, question, and grow.

I am Dzifa, an award-winning and widely published poet, playwright, journalist and educator with years of experience in many aspects of teaching English language and Literature to students at all levels and from all backgrounds. I am also a creative writing teacher who teaches poetry, prose and drama. I’m an expert in teaching Shakespeare, specialising in demystifying the language making it less impenetrable to the ordinary reader.

Since 2002 I’ve designed, devised and facilitated creative and education initiatives utilising poetry and other literary arts in schools, universities and community settings. Mentoring adults in higher education and within the creative industries, and working with children in primary and secondary schools, I teach a wide range of lectures, seminars, workshops, masterclasses, after-school sessions, one-to-one lessons and bespoke long-term projects spanning poetry, storytelling, creative writing, performance, theatre, songwriting, reportage, arts journalism, travel writing, academic skills, fiction, creative non-fiction and criticism. As such, I understand both the creative process and the rigours of academic and professional writing.

I’ve worked with many under-represented groups including refugees, women, Global Majority people, SEND and ESOL learners and collaborated with scientists, graffiti artists, filmmakers, musicians, composers and sculptors to deliver workshops. National and international clients have included: Curtis Brown Creative, The Royal Geographical Society, English PEN, University of the Arts, Orleans House Gallery, Southbank Centre, the British Library, University of London, local councils all over the country and the National Youth Theatre.

I also work as a freelance writer/editor and regularly contribute book, theatre and music reviews, interviews and features to the arts pages of the Financial Times, the Guardian, the Telegraph, the Times Literary Supplement and other publications. I have made hundreds of visits to schools and literature festivals to run workshops and give talks. In addition, I have worked as a poetry and criticism mentor, reader/editor at The Literary Consultancy, a guest lecturer at several universities and a judge for several literary prizes.

I have a Masters degree in Text & Performance from the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and Birkbeck, University of London.
