About Josephine

I have just finished my final year at the University of Edinburgh where I studied Arabic and Social Anthropology. We have not yet received our grades but I am on target to achieve a First overall. Whilst attending the Kings of Wessex Academy I attained 5 A* and 7 A grades in my GCSEs and 1 A* and 2 A grades in History, Philosophy and Ethics and Music A Levels.

I myself struggle with dyslexia and dysgraphia and therefore have developed coping mechanisms during my education that I feel could benefit tutees. These mechanisms range from revision-based songs and games that helped me with GCSE and A Level revision to highlighting and editing techniques when doing university essays.

I am well experienced in working with an array of children and teenagers. I have worked with GCSE and A level students from the Kings of Wessex Academy whom I tutored both face to face and remotely in order to prepare them for their exams. This involved working to develop essay writing and exam technique so students can achieve the top grades. I also worked with students to complete UCAS applications and gain places at Russell Group Universities and Oxbridge.

I also volunteer as an English tutor as part of the refugee-based charity ‘Steps’ in Edinburgh, where I tutor a Syrian refugee in college level English once a week. From teaching drama at the Bristol Old Vic Young Company, to teaching theatre and music in refugee children centres, I have had a diverse breadth of experience of working with children and teenagers.

With younger students I have aimed to stir a passion for learning, whilst with older students I look to try and improve revision and exam strategies so as they are able to work confidently on their own and achieve their goals.

I have been Josephine's Personal Tutor during her Arabic degree in Edinburgh University and I was always impressed with her dedication to her studies and the support she always gave to both her classmates as well as her teachers. She is a delightful person with a lot of empathy for others and having to master a difficult language such as Arabic puts her in a position to tutor others and give them the support they need.

I’m very pleased to be able to provide a reference for Jo Hill in connection with her application for tutoring with this site.
Jo has been an exemplary student in the department of Islamic and Middle Eastern Studies at the University of Edinburgh where I am the course organiser for Arabic 2 and Arabic 4. From the start of her studies she impressed with her dedication, commitment and maturity of attitude, as well as her discipline in meeting deadlines. Jo is quiet and modest in demeanour but clearly an impressively intelligent and sensitive student and more widely read than most students. She is independent in judgement, thoughtful and reflective with ideas and issues and she works most effectively in all situations; on her own, as part of a team, under pressure and in small groups. Throughout her study at Edinburgh University Jo has excelled in the Arabic language learning. She has a very well-developed interest in cultural issues and in language learning. As her tutor and course organiser I had ample opportunity to observe her scholarly potential and to assess her abilities. Her work is exemplary. I am impressed not only by her meticulous methodology in dealing with difficult situations but by her sensitive and nuanced feel for the Arabic language and culture.
Jo is very obviously suited to the degree where I feel sure she would willingly and effectively contribute to every aspect of the tasks assigned to her. I recommend her to you with sincere enthusiasm.
Sincerely yours,
