S02E09 A Day in the Life of An English Tutor with Gemma Bull

UK Educators Community Podcast with Syd.

S02E09 A Day in the Life of An English Tutor with Gemma Bull.
Welcome to Season 2 of the UK Educators Community Podcast, where you'll get a sneak peek into Educator's diaries, as Syd asks her guests to run through one of their typical days. On this episode, you'll meet Gemma Bull and hear about her business, Lion Education.
Gemma supports her students to be confident, assertive and resilient, whilst making rapid academic progress. She promises that with her calm and collaborative approach her students will "learn to ROAR" (Like Katy Perry, not a scary Lion having caught a Zebra!)
This chat is full of shiny take away points, here's just a handful:

• The private education model aligns with Gemma's values much closer than traditional schooling. She's been told by Headteachers of the past to ignore students who need emotional support, and concentrate her effort on pushing the ones who are doing well academically.
  
• Whether you're a teacher or tutor in any capacity, it's soooo important to be passionate about your subject. The passion is what inspires students, or even co-workers
  
• Taking constructive criticism positively is really important, and your action as a result will make you better.
