Sara P.

I’m not currently studying a formal course, but I continue to develop my practice through ongoing professional reading, research, and training in curriculum design, visible learning, inclusive education, assessment, feedback, executive functioning, and educational technology. I’m committed to lifelong learning and regularly stay current with teacher communities and new educational ideas. My strongest subject has always been History, which is also the area I chose for my Bachelor of Arts with Honours. I have a strong academic and professional background in Humanities, History, Geography, and English, and I have taught these subjects extensively at secondary level. If you want, I can help you turn this into a version that mentions exact grades or university results once you share them. My teaching style is structured, warm, and evidence-informed. I believe in clear explanations, explicit modelling, scaffolding, and helping students understand exactly what success looks like. I also focus on building confidence, independence, and a supportive classroom or tutoring relationship. I can help students by breaking down difficult ideas, improving essay writing, strengthening exam technique, and building confidence step by step. I have 29 years of tutoring experience and 30 years of teaching experience across Australia and the UK, so I understand how to support different learners and different curricula. I’m especially strong in Humanities, History, Geography, and broader secondary support, including working with students who need structure, encouragement, and clear guidance.
