Laila

I am a dedicated teacher who loves to learn and travel.

Tutoring Experience

I am a teacher and leader with 16 years of experience working within primary and secondary schools. I have have also been a Deputy head, Literacy Leader and Team Leader.

I have taught the National Curriculum, IB curriculum as well as the Aero standards as part of the American curriculum so I am able to adapt my teaching to different curriculums. I have supported children through their Year 6 SATs and supported children with English as second language.

I have an MA in English Education, PGCE ( Postgraduate certificate in Education) and a CELTA teaching Adults English as a foreign language. I have worked in many London based schools as well as in Morocco and Spain. This also allowed me to become adaptable to different situations and experiences. I have experience with children where English is not their first language.

I have experience teaching online, tutoring students at home as well as teaching in private and state primary and secondary schools.

Tutoring Approach

I will adapt the way I tutor according to the needs of the student. If the student is studying for an exam I will be very structured with my tutoring to teach in a way that will support the student to pass their exams. If the student is studying as they have fallen behind then I will first assess the student to find gaps in the students knowledge and find ways to fill those gaps. If a student is particularly gifted and needs to be challenged I will find ways to challenge the student to take them out of their comfort zone. This should all be done in a way to support the student in becoming an independent learner with a love of learning.

While teaching I should find ways to teach the student taking into account that students learn in different ways. Some students respond more to kinaesthetic (movement), aural (listening) or visual styles of learning. I will teach the student with a combination of these styles so that the students learns to respond to different ways of learning.
