Whilst in secondary education, I was inspired by a maths teacher who took the time to understand the way my mind worked. He was the Head of Department, and I went to him looking for help. It was my most challenging subject, but he spent time outside of the classroom voluntarily tutoring me. I find it incredibly humbling that he was prepared to do this and that he has no idea of the impact he had on my life. The pass in Maths may have been my lowest grade, but it is the grade I am most proud of. It took effort and grit. It took long evenings after school, trying to understand why decimals even exist. And yet, it provided an essential gateway to so many opportunities. I hope to become that teacher. The teacher who engages students in a subject they might have prior negative feelings towards. The teacher who cares and puts in the extra effort for a student to do their best. My main aim during my teaching journey is to create life- long learners who will flourish in society, due to an innate sense of respect, care, and kindness towards others. My tutoring and teaching has always created an environment which will produce confident young people, who try their utmost in life to achieve and aspire to great things. I have taught secondary English for over 5 years, with experience in both GCSE and A-Level English. This included 1:1 tuition with students from Year 7 - Year 13. I have experience of A-level coursework moderation, as well as being a coursework mentor for A-Level. I worked mainly with lower ability sets and my aim was always to help them exceed their target grades. This was always achieved through taking time to know the individual needs of every student, what makes them tick and what motivates them. My 1:1 tutoring has always been adapted to the individual and includes short term targets, as well as long term goals. My tutoring includes free extension materials and resources, for the student to complete beyond the session itself. I have a home classroom set up, so am available to tutor online if more convenient for all. I worked throughout the pandemic, providing excellent live online working experiences. I am more than happy to travel to the student’s home if this is easier. I normally will include a quick ‘getting to know you’ session, where we will plan our expectations and targets. Parents will be able to see this plan also. I look forward to meeting you.
