Information About Debbie

Personal Description: I am a retired Primary Headteacher who has had recent experience in teaching EBD children aged 11 to 16 years. I am currently doing some SENCO consultancy work. I also have experience teaching Maths at KS1,KS2 and KS3. I am enthusiastic about learning and engage the most challenging children through working on their interests and strengths. I believe in using a multi sensory approach. I am also a TEFL teacher and have been involved in home tuition for French students following the IELTS programme.

Tutoring Experience: I am an experienced Primary teacher and in my last 2 years as Headteacher I managed and led the Special Needs. I believe in active learning and include the ECM agenda in my planning. I firmly believe that children need the basic skills in order to progress in their learning. Personalisation of learning is very important.

Tutoring Approach: I want the student to feel comfortable and confident whilst learning. It is important to build a rapport in order for this to happen. Each week formative assessment is important. We need to set short and long term goals. The student needs to self evaluate what they have learnt and decide with the tutor on the next stages of learning. It is important that the skills which need to be developed are shared with the tutor by the class teacher so everyone is working together to achieve.

  • Cert of ED Merit (Maths),BED Hons Special Needs, NPQH, CAPSE Special Needs, TEFL,

From Angela (5/5): (Secondary English) My son has really progressed well since Debbie had been tutoring for handwriting and has really helped with his school work.
My son really respected Debbie, because he is not hot on the cocentration front she made his lessons fun and appropiate to things he enjoyed.
Debbie definatly took the wholistic approach to his learning and as a single parent she did not make me feel I was a failure but helped me with approaches to my sons school who have now taken on board her concerns and are giving him extra tution
.I would certainly recommend Debbie, and would concider using Debbie for other subject help
