Information About Abraham - Abraham

Personal Description:

I am a Spanish native teacher. As an experienced teacher with more than 5 years of experience in a secondary and further education school setting, Also, I have been tutoring students for over 15 years, from primary to University levels, at every age.
The nature of my work in education has prepared me for this position. My interest in education stimulated me to lead a project on creating my previous school curriculum in English and Maths. My role here was to act as exam officer apart from teaching different subjects such as English, Maths or Spanish. As part of this, I had to liaise with awarding bodies meaning that I have developed skills in curriculum advising. I also created and/or updated all the school policies exam series related, as well as risk assessment, in order for the school to pass the JCQ inspection.

Tutoring Experience:

During the last 5 years I have coordinated the academic department, being in charge of the following qualifications: IGCSE English, A Level and GCSE in Spanish, Functional Skills Maths and English and GCSE in Geography. I have also prepared and delivered exam invigilator trainings and I have mentored staff members who are working towards becoming teachers.
As shown by my experience in schools, I am enthusiastic about education and always strive to do the best for my students. I am able to take on responsibility for learning and have experience of successfully managing a class. I also have the enthusiasm and determination to ensure that I make a success of this role.

Tutoring Approach:

My approach to tutoring is that I tailor my tuition to the needs of the student. I will tutor in my own home or that of the student. I will vary my style depending on the ability and needs of the student. I aim to run my tuition in support of the progression of my students through their subject syllabus, but I am also willing to progress more slowly and focus on particularly weak areas if the student so desires. I will also offer pre-exam revision sessions for all exams including modular resits and conduct end of topic tests and mock exams should the student desire.

As I aim to tailor my tuition to the individual I expect students to maintain regular contact in regards to their subject progressions and their individual needs. I expect students to arrive at tuition sessions with a clear idea of what it is they hope to get from the sessions.

I will provide each student with a progress log and detailed feedback on how they are performing and areas where they need to improve, I may also set work for my students to complete outside of sessions and for this set work I will offer a marking service.

I am happy to meet with the parents or guardians of my students prior to the commencement of tuition in order to ascertain what they wish their child to gain from tuition. I am also happy to meet with parents and guardians regularly during the tuition period to discuss their child's progress and if required I am happy to provide parents with written reports on their child's progress.
