My objective is to obtain employment part time teaching English or in tutoring for exam preparation. Having worked extensively with y6 pupils, I am experianced and successful at preparing students for SATS and independent schools entrance examinations. My background includes exam work with Capita, NFER and Pearson over many years in various roles eg Senior marker/ coder/ quality monitor. In March – April 2020 I completed a TEFL course online (120 hours) with modules on Grammar, methodology, teaching online/via telephone, video observation and teaching large groups. Following this I worked for two years as an English tutor online with EF Tutors. I have also worked on the National Tutoring programme (online) with groups of y5 children who needed help having had their learning interrupted by COVID. I am a specialist in languages, having studied Russian and Italian at Liverpool University and throughout my teaching career taught English and French. I attained a bachelor degree with honours level 2i. I have the ability to acquire language readily and understand grammatical structures and how they work in English as well as the other languages I have studied. In my teaching career, I was member of the SLT at a highly successful and progressive independent Junior School for 18 years prior to retirement. During this time, I was responsible for developing the programmes of study for English for a number of years and leading the staff development in this subject area. I am also highly experienced in one to one tuition and coaching for independent schools’ entrance exams over many years with success. |
