Experience
I am a friendly, qualified and experienced Primary Teacher, currently working as a Supply Teacher and Tutor across all Primary School stages (Early Years Foundation Stage, Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2). I have a full enhanced DBS certificate. I have previously taught in full time positions in both KS1 and KS2. I have experience of all ages, abilities and learning styles. I also have experience of supporting preparation for SATS.My first step is always to work with you and your child to identify the areas we will focus on. I will then plan and support their learning and development to help them achieve the very best that they can. One to one attention, with the focus being solely on their needs, can make a huge difference to a child’s confidence and self-esteem. I will make sure your child understands what they are doing and why, rather than just teaching them the right answer. I believe in celebrating effort as well as achievement and want your child to feel proud of what they do.
I have a special interest in Maths and Science. Sometimes children tell me they ‘can’t do Maths’. I feel that this often stems from the fact Maths is a cumulative subject, building on knowledge year on year. Gaps in the understanding of basic concepts lead to difficulties in making progress, a loss of confidence and the feeling that they just aren’t good at Maths. Sometimes children just need a little extra time to understand, absorb and practise a concept before moving on. Sometimes a different teaching approach will help make sense of a concept. I can help identify where these gaps are so we can work on them together, working at your child’s pace and ensuring they have a solid secure understanding before moving on - something that can’t happen in a normal classroom environment.
Older children (KS3) can also benefit from revisiting topics from the KS2 Maths curriculum. A really solid understanding of topics such as fractions, algebra, ratio/decimals/percentages etc. can be just what they need to give them the confidence and tools to achieve and enjoy maths at Secondary School.
In addition to my teaching qualification (PGCE distinction with Masters credits) I have a BSc (Hons) 2.1.
