English Tutors in Meadows/Morningside

| My name is Hannah and I am from Nashville, Tennessee. After finishing a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature from Belmont University, I moved to the UK in 2017 to pursue a Msc History from the University of Edinburgh. After graduating in 2018, I substitute taught in a Catholic high school in Chicago, Illinois before moving back to the UK in 2019 to pursue a PGDE Secondary School, History degree and a Catholic Teacher Certificate from the University of Glasgow. I am currently living in Edinburgh with my Irish husband who just completed his PhD in Nuclear Physics from the University of Edinburgh. I have experience teaching/tutoring students ages 11-18 as well as ESL learners. During the PGDE, I taught first-third year students modules in History and Modern Studies and also worked with students on their Nat 4/5 exams and Higher History modules. I have experience teaching Scottish history, particularly the Scottish Wars of Independence, European history, including the Black Death and British Suffragists/Suffragettes, Irish history, particularly the Irish Civil War and the Troubles in Northern Ireland, and American history, including the American Civil War.

I began tutoring English, science and maths when I was just sixteen for my local learning centre. Since then I have continued tutoring English throughout my degree in English Literature at my university. In January I completed an English language teachers association course, a process that has allowed me to hone my grammatical teaching skills and develop new techniques in creating understanding in pupils. Since graduating with a first class degree in the summer, I have been involved in various writing projects, and am currently applying for a masters program in European literature at another university.
