I completed my PGDE with Teach First, being part of a team deep-dived during two Ofsted inspections, achieving outstanding both times. I have experience at KS3, including curriculum design, teaching KS4 for Elizabeth, Nazi Germany, Medicine, and the Cold War, and examining for Edexcel on the Nazi Germany paper. I began tutoring GCSE maths students struggling to achieve a pass grade, later tutoring & mentoring for EPQs, UCAS & volunteering. I have experience with SEND and EAL, recently completing a Level 2 SEND certificate. My university studies have provided a breadth of knowledge in the social sciences, including in politics, economics, philosophy, anthropology and sociology. I am a quick learner and have experience of decoding an exam mark scheme and curriculum of work and would quickly cater and adapt my teaching to suit the students needs. I have a warm demeanor and want to support the student find their way to their most advanced level and critically engage with what they are learning. I provide and signpost students towards the resources and knowledge required to achieve their goals. This involves writing detailed lesson plans and providing reading lists, depending on the topics being studied, as well as asking students to do some work between sessions. I am a very dynamic and flexible tutor, who can adapt to the learning style of the student. Whether that is more conversation driven or written responses and guided marking, I have been trained in a number of pedagogical skills to ensure students retain knowledge and deepen their explanatory power when using this knowledge. This includes engaging in differentiated teaching and supporting students to overcome specific barriers to their learning, whether that is around self-esteem towards the subject and learning behaviours, or specific learning difficulties and particular barriers because of this. Both these challenges can be addressed with high quality teaching, an approach that insists on facilitating a high success rate, building on and consolidating previously learned knowledge, and testing for understanding and retention of this over time, with fading support to enable independence. |
