Information About Amy mc - Dublin tutor

Personal Description:

I am an enthusiastic friendly person with a passion for teaching and learning. Besides my passion for my subject of home economics I also have a passion for sport and an advocate for healthy living. I am described by many as a friendly and approachable person who is always willing to help people out. I am caring and understanding in every situation. I am originally from Clare but now living in Dublin 11. I drive and am generally flexible with my time and willing to work around any time or schedule.

Tutoring Experience:

I am in my second year teaching, although I am relatively new to the progression I have a range of experiences teaching in 5 very different settings on my teaching placements, ranging from all girls Catholic school, youth reach and mixed gender schools.

I have thought all levels of home economics and even examined the junior certificate exams in March 2018.

I have thought in a gaeltacht in summer 2017 and an English language school in summer 2018. Therefore I have a broad range of teaching experiences. The most valuable being my permanent job which is 20 hours home economics to all levels and 2 hours LCVP weekly.

Approach to Grinds:

My approach to grinds would be to facilitate the learner's needs fully.

I use a wide range of methodologies in my classroom so ultimately I would determine what the student learns best from. Ideally I could offer skills and techniques that would help the learner remember the content easily e.g random pictures or songs to recall specific content, in contrast I would help them compose sample answers and focus on exam techniques and memorising
