I view myself as an organised, dedicated and hard working person. I am very enthusiastic and passionate about teaching and learning which keeps me engaged in research and news around education.

Through developing my position as a teaching leader , I understand the importance of leading by example, having high expectations for myself. Equally, I understand how important it is to review and evaluate my practice. I am always eager to learn new skills and different methods of working.

Throughout my teaching career, I have also worked as a one-to-one tutor with children who need additional support. 1:1 tutoring works best when you are able to develop a personal learning experience for the individual. This enables the pupil to feel comfortable, confident, safe to make mistakes and overcome challenges thus reaching their full potential.

Tutoring Approach

I believe experiential learning is the best teaching approach. It encourages creativity, helps students learn from mistakes, fosters reflective thinking, and prepares students for future experiences. It can be effective for several subjects, especially when developing confidence within a subject a child is struggling. By encouraging students to assess themselves regularly and reflect on what they’ve learnt they are able to retain information and develop a deeper understanding.
