My Summary

My Experience

I have experience of teaching children with a whole range of abilities including those with Special Educational Needs, supported children through their SATs, both year 2 and year 6 and taught verbal and non-verbal reasoning strategies to those preparing for Grammar and Independent School entrance exams (CSSE, FCSE and GL). I have also supported children through GCSE Maths and English Language and Literature.
Children have different interests and learning styles therefore my lessons are tailored to the individual child in question. I aim to get to know your child as a person, not just a pupil, so that the personalised sessions create an environment where they feel comfortable enough to challenge themselves and realise their potential. My planning and organisational skills have always been commented upon very favourably. I believe that children should be encouraged to become independent learners and so my aim is to support children in developing their problem-solving skills, creative thinking and understanding of why rather than simply teaching formulas.
Being English subject Lead in many schools, my passion is for reading as I believe it is the key to success in all areas of the curriculum. The feeling when a child who has previously struggled with the written word not only becomes an independent reader but actually enjoys the activity, is indescribable and leads to so many other achievements. Discussing literature also develops the child’s critical thinking as well building a foundation for them to draw upon in their own creative writing.
