About Kira Phoenix
I have been working as a Tutor and Mentor since 2009. As a tutor I have always enjoyed working with students over a longer period so we can build a strong working relationship that is nurturing and confidence building. I was born in Asia and lived there till I was 13. I started boarding school in the UK when I was 10 due to needing additional support for my dyslexia. I went on to study at Central St Martins and graduated in 2010. In 2015 I graduated from The Royal College of Art in Glass and Ceramics, with a distinction for my thesis. I continue to work as an artist and run my own studio in Wimbledon, London.

I have been working as a Tutor and Mentor since 2009. During this time, I have had the pleasure to work with students from various backgrounds. My approach to teaching is a holistic one. I make sure we cover all areas of study whilst combining the student's individual interests. I like to create a very exciting and enjoyable educational programme that is engaging and confidence building. I use a variety of teaching aids, including educational videos, documentaries, and discussions. I find these different methods of learning help to clarify the students' thoughts, making it easier to get their ideas down on paper. I also want to encourage each student to bring their personal interest into their creative writing. To aid in each student's organisational skills I will help them create clear and easy to follow schedules, step by step tasks to complete a piece of work, develop reading strategies and use visual learning tools. To help prepare each student for their English exams I would want to take each student through a series of revision tasks, practice papers and discussions. I have also collated an ‘English Handbook’ that will aid in the study of English and will be shared with the student during the first session via a dedicated and secure google drive they will have access to. It is also crucial that the student allocates additional time towards developing their reading and writing skills outside of the sessions. This process also helps to be prepared to work independently. I have experience of all the England based exam boards and would be able to tailor the classes to this student's needs. I am also able to supply successful case studies.
**PLEASE NOTE: I only take on new students who are looking for weekly tuition with a minimum of 1 hour per session.

I would recommend her in a heartbeat.Kira has fantastic energy and creativity and I know her through her amazing glass art work. Being a fellow dyslexic I know how important it is to be taught by someone who really knows what it is like, the struggles involved and how to make learning fun for those that have it.
Kira is the perfect mix of compassion and drive. I know that after spending time with her anyone will be given new tools to overcome challenges and will have been met on their level. It is very easy to recommend Kira to anyone.
Kira is meticulous in all actions of her life and conversely into tutoring! As a winner in many disciplines in her life for sue she can produce great new Artists - photographers, sculptors you name it!
