About Lydia

I am a twenty year old student at the University of Bristol. I study Liberal arts, which means I am able to study English, Theology, French, History, Creative Writing and Philosophy all in one degree. As you can glean from that, I have a deep love for learning, and I find that tutoring is another form of learning for me. The more I learn about how my students think and learn, and the more questions they ask, the more I learn about my subject, and about the process of learning itself.

I studied illustration at art school for a year before coming to University, and enjoy integrating visual communication with my lessons. I am very interested in how art and the visual can be brought into learning and memory more.

I find it very rewarding being able to break knowledge down and build it back up for students. Being able to watch my students progress and understand things makes me truly joyful, especially while I build personal relationships with them based on mutual respect. I also love having the opportunity to stay in touch with subjects that I no longer study, such as Maths and Chemistry. I really enjoyed all of my subjects at GCSE and was upset at the prospect of having to narrow them down. Being able to continuously connect with, understand and teach subjects that so inspired me allows me to expand my breadth of knowledge even wider.

I have been tutoring R.E for two years At GCSE level. For my own GCSE I studied R.S. on my own from a textbook, as, due to scheduling problems, I was unable to take it at my school. I ended up achieving a 9. Because of this, I can help students with their private study skills, time management and with their approach to exam questions at GCSE. In lessons, I will work on what I have found that each student struggles with, whether it be a certain topic, remembering certain things, or essay skills. As a student who has struggled with ADHD and who has been practicing CBT for 3 years, I try to understand how students think about things, what helps them to remember (whether it be visual exercises, acronyms, metaphor, question and answer, mind maps etc.), and to adjust to help them meet their needs.

I have only tutored one student on A-Level Theology so far, so my A-level rate will be lower than usual. For A-Level, I studied Theology, which is a mix of ethics, philosophy and religion. I worked from a B to an A in the philosophy strand, and from an A to an A* in the religion strand, so I know from personal experience how to improve essay technique. I am aware of issues that students commonly struggle with and will learn where these issues lie in the first session. In lessons, I will be questioning the student on what they have learnt in class, and will be setting regular exercises based on the holes in their knowledge or skillset. I am eager to help them improve both their essay technique and their understanding. My lessons are usually around an hour long, but this length is very flexible.
