Amelia

I am a fully qualified teacher from Manchester Metropolitan University who currently teaches 14-21 year old's in an alternative education provision. I have worked with children and young people for the past 5 years, from ages 4 up to over 18 and have a range of experiences that have developed my pedagogy. I am patient, creative and professional, I always set high expectations and want the best for every young person I work with.

Tutoring Experience

I have taught drama and dance in multiple secondary schools, including GCSE and functional skills English, level 1 and 2 (equivalent to a grade 4). I currently work in an alternative education site where I teach English, Dance Leaders and ICT. In my current place of work, I specialise in supporting young people with SEND and helping them to achieve their qualifications. Almost all of my professional career has involved supporting young people and children who have SEND.

Tutoring Approach

My sessions have a similar structure to my lessons. I always plan a starter activity to recall prior knowledge, and always state learning objectives to ensure that learning is focussed. I aim to create fun activities that can be completed in 3 stages. This is where I model how to complete the answer, we then have a go together, before they complete the task independently. Finally I will end with a game related to the session outcomes and have a plenary to assess learning.
