Information About Victoria

Personal Description: I am a primary school teacher living in Haverfordwest with my fiancé and two children. I have a degree in Environmental Science and worked as a Water Quality Scientist before completing my PGCE and qualifying to teach in 2009. My course covered the entire primary age range so I can teach every subject at primary level. I am also competant to teach up to GCSE level in Maths.

Tutoring Experience: As a qualified teacher I have experience teaching across the entire primary age range; from Foundation Phase up to Key Stage 2. I am currently teaching Science to all children (years 1 through to 6) in a local Preparatory School as well as being form tutor for year 4, and teaching English to years 4 to 6. I have also previously worked as a Learning Support Assistant, delivering various support programmes such as Accelerated Literacy to individuals and small groups.

Tutoring Approach: I believe that individualised learning is vital in order to maximise the learning potential of every child. The joy of private tutoring is the ability to tailor the learning specifically to the academic needs and learning style of that particular child. With a recent qualification I have up-to-the-minute methods and curriculum knowledge to enable me to help pupils think and learn as well as giving them the tools to become independant learners outside of my lesson time. I try to make my lessons relaxed, enjoyable and as interactive and engaging as possible.

Qualifications:
  • 1995: A-Levels - Mathematics, Geology, Biology, General Studies - Tasker Milward VC School (School)
  • 2009: Qualified Teacher Status (PGCE Primary) - Trinity College Carmarthen (PGCE)
  • 1999: BSc(Hons) Environmental Science - Salford University (Bachelors)
  • 1993: 10 GCSE's - Tasker Milward VC School (School)

From Raymond (4/5): (Primary English) Victoria Cook has been very good in tutoring my 10 year old son Lewys in english for one hour a week for 3 weeks. She has given us guidance on helping Lewys with reading while at home. Lewys is happy to go to a lesson with Victoria Cook. I have given a 4 as opposed to a 5 because we are only 3 weeks in, and I would hope the lessons will continue during term time into next year.

From Suzanne (5/5): (Secondary Maths) My daughter has only had three maths lessons so far, she is very relaxed and happy with Victoria and her confidence is growing already. Very pleased and would highly recommend.

From Jacqueline (5/5): (Primary Maths) My daughter (aged 8) is really enjoying her lessons, which are fun and relaxed, but she says she is still learning. Even when she does not understand something, Vicki phrases it in different ways and it does not dent my daughter's confidence. Vicki has identified some gaps in her previous learning, which she can help her with, so I am confident my daughter's skills will improve, whilst having a fun time. Thank you.

From Jane (5/5): (Secondary Maths) Victoria has been seeing my son for a couple of weeks now, he says he really enjoys her lesson and is very keen to keep it going. Would thoroughly recommend her, she is very accomodating and my son's confidence with maths is increasing.

Reply from Victoria: Thanks Jane, really pleased Michael's enjoying lessons and his confidence is increasing, he's doing really well :)

From Paul (5/5): (Primary Maths) Sam is really enjoying his lessons with Vicki. He has a much better understanding of 'number' now and is benefiting tremendously from Vicki's careful and professional approach. He has also started to enjoy maths at school as a result! Many thanks.

Reply from Victoria: Thanks Paul, Sam is a pleasure to teach, I'm really pleased he's coming on so well and enjoying Maths now too!

From Michelle (5/5): (GCSE Maths) My daughter Rebecca is very happy with Victoria and feels very relaxed with her. Rebecca is learning lots. Very pleased thank you.

Reply from Victoria: Thanks Michelle, Rebecca is doing really well :)
