Tell us a bit about yourself.
I have been in education for 8 years and am currently employed by schools as a professional tutor. I love my job and am often praised for my approachable and humorous style that helps pupils feel comfortable and confident to be brave and safe in making mistakes. I work both virtually and in person to help pupils fill knowledge gaps, push to greater depth and mastery and catch up after the COVID pandemic. Primarily a year 6 teacher, I have a vast knowledge of SATS expectations and curriculum areas, as well as fantastic record tutoring children in the 11+. As well as my qualified teacher status and PGCE, I am in my final semester of a Masters in Creative Writing.
What do you specialise in?
I specialise in Maths to Key Stage 3 and English to Key Stage 5. I also have excellent knowledge of the 11+ exams and expectations.
How do your lessons usually plan out?
I teach with passion, pace and at a pitch for for students that is challenging but not unachievable. But most of all, I create an environment where pupils feel happy, safe and eager to take ownership of their learning achieve their maximum potential.
When did you first start tutoring?
I became a professional tutor In June 2020.
What is your teaching style?
I love to plan creative lessons and approach concepts and learning that can sometimes be dull, with flare and originality! Whether it's adding fractions through a game of battle ships or identifying word classes from a movie script, my philosophy is built around engagement and enjoyment.
What are your interests outside of teaching?
Outside of teaching I love spending time with my amazing family. At the beach, walking , skating, swimming, or if its raining ( as it often is in Cornwall) we play highly competitive games of Monopoly and Mario Kart!
What is your favourite thing about being a tutor?
Teaching is great, but tutoring is so much better. Working one to one you can really unpick misconceptions and tailor lessons specifically for a pupils needs and style of learning. Progress can be phenomenal and its not unusual for children to be struggling g and then in a short time mastering a subject.
