Victoria

I'm a highly experienced, qualified Primary School teacher with over 25 years of working within the childcare and education sector. I have an in-depth understanding of how children learn and how to support and progress their learning. I offer online sessions and I provide all the teaching resources.
I am passionate about education and believe that, through providing an environment which is supportive and nurturing, all children can fulfill their academic potential.

Tutoring Experience

Since gaining my teaching degree in 2012 I have taught across all year groups and all national curriculum subjects. I have taught a diverse range of children covering all abilities to include SEND children. I have experience of teaching children with dyslexia, ASD and ADHD, for example. I have also taught gifted and talented pupils, challenging and pushing them further. I have taught and supported children through all statutory government assessments to include 11+, SATs, Year 4 multiplication test check and Year 1 phonics screening. I have taught children whose first language isn't English and additionally I have a Level 5 TEFL Diploma.

Tutoring Approach

I am driven by my main goals of enabling children to achieve academic progress whilst building their confidence. I am passionate about creating a learning environment which engages, motivates, and challenges pupils’ learning, so that they can flourish into confident, resilient and successful learners. I pride myself on understanding the individual learning needs of a child and adapting my teaching to ensure they are challenged and progression is achieved. I ensure that children have an active role in each session and there is a strong emphasis on practical, fun and challenging learning. I use a range of teaching styles and learning strategies so that every child gains a sense of achievement. I include games, stories, songs, role-play, props, quizzes, worksheets, for example. I use some of the first session to assess the child, this enables me to explore any gaps in their learning, areas of strength/weakness and to understand how they learn best. I then create a long-term plan, ensuring that every lesson is tailor made to their individual needs.
