About Nuala
- What kind of experience do you have?
August 2014 - Present - Private English and Maths Tutor:
I currently work as a tutor, supporting students with in English and Maths. I work on reading and comprehension, close textual analysis, essay writing, fiction and non-fiction writing and verbal communication skills for English, and all elements of the KS 1 and 2 maths syllabus.
I help students with homework and end of term assessments, as well as assessed coursework and exam preparation. I find private tutoring to be a wonderful career which allows me to utilise my passion for literature and maths in order to inspire my students to achieve their potential. I believe that a relationship of trust and honesty is the most important factor in a student's success and, therefore, that my kind and friendly approach is one of my strengths as a tutor. I always aim for variety in my lessons and I frequently employ a range of resources such as visual learning devises and even songs to encourage my student's development. One of the most fascinating elements of working as a tutor is experiencing the diversity in students and their needs, and I am able to vary my teaching style and methods in order to get the best out of every pupil.
November 2013 - April 2014 - Tutor at Bishop Challoner Catholic Collegiate School:
I worked with students in years 7-13 one-to-one to assist with classwork and coursework. My role was to help the students to understand their assignments, to clarify the course content and to help with essay writing. I assisted the students in expanding their own ideas and to developing the skills necessary for exam success. I also worked with students during their classes to help aid concentration, explain the class material and push them to work to the best of their ability. My role at the school was incredibly rewarding. Many of the students are challenging but working with them is extremely interesting and building good working relationships is very fulfilling.
- Do you have an up-to-date DBS (Disclosure & Barring Service, formerly CRB) Certificate?
I do.
- Tell me about some of your current students.
One current student is a twelve year old boy who is very gifted at maths and science but struggles with English. I was approached by his parents to work with their son to assist him in achieving a 6A in his end of year assessment. I realised that this student frequently understood the questions I asked him, but was hesitant to answer in case he was incorrect. I developed lesson plans which worked from knowledge I knew he had, into unfamiliar territory in order to build his confidence. I also discovered that he enjoyed creative writing, and I developed these skills with him until he started to feel more positively about English as a subject. After I worked with him on his end of year assessment, the student achieved the 6A he wanted. I am looking forward to continuing to support him through Year 9 in preparation for his GCSE.
I am also currently working with an AS student to prepare him for his exams at the end of the year. Throughout the year I will work with him on each of his four set texts, as well as covering essay writing and revision techniques.

Once Nuala joined us at Bishop Challoner, she fast cemented a reputation as one of our most reliable and sought after tutors. Nuala's naturally calm nature and friendly temperament made her an excellent addition to classroom environments; she was able to blend herself into the classroom environment seamlessly and students felt confident in asking for her help. Furthermore, her extensive knowledge of subject matter combined with endless patience made her an ideal tutor to pair with struggling students.
I have known Nuala for over a year. She is a most talented teacher. Her teaching methods are engaging and extremely useful. She is very organised, patient, attentive and highly committed to her work. She is always open to questions we might have and is ready to help.
Nuala is a very friendly, helpful, calm, dedicated and hard working teacher. Her planning skills and class preparation are excellent. Nuala's amazing teaching has helped my son with his writing, reading and comprehension skills as he works through KS3. She's a 5* quality teacher.
