The most powerful tool of advocating, protecting, supporting and educating children is to continuously have an affirmative impact on children’s lives. I believe education is something which everyone, despite cultural, societal or religious barriers, have the right to obtain whilst offered equal life chances and outcomes. Every single individual has the right to the freedom which education allows; teaching facilitates me to empower, support and be an ambassador for all children to reach their full potential. Through teaching I hope to facilitate children to be agents of change, positively shaping their future by equipping them with life-long tools aiding emotional, mental and physical www.*** want to provide children with sound foundations through giving them the building blocks of education to allow them to flourish in their personal and educational development. Similarly, applying my learning from a wide variety of teaching opportunities and placements, I want to further develop children’s thirst for knowledge and set their educational compass in the right direction. I am passionate and committed to providing accessible and equal opportunities for all children focussing on and celebrating every child as an individual. I strongly believe in educating children about the wider world to encourage compassion, empathy, inclusivity and a sense of belonging. It is this enthusiasm and passion to inspire, empower and support all children through education.
I have a clear vision for the type of school and classroom I would like to create and below I have outlined the most integral elements of this.
Building Enriching Experiences
I believe it is extremely important for children to have enriching experiences whilst learning. I think very carefully about the lessons and topics I have planned to create moments of interest and ensure learning is fun as well as rigorous. An example of this is the medium term planning of the Stone Age Topic I implemented. I enjoyed this as I could practically apply knowledge from my degree. Planning and implementation of the topic was covered through a cross-curricular approach to secure the children’s learning process in a multi-faceted way. I have also made use of carousels within all Creative Me Topics and taken a ‘child as teacher’ approach within these. Through this, children were engaged in their learning and developed their skills as independent learners. One significant example the children seemed to enjoy the most was an afternoon to introduce the topic (a WOW day), I placed the learning motivation on the children by encouraging them to teach me and detailing how I had not taught them anything, they taught themselves through facilitating an accessible carousel of activities for all. These encompassed creating a fact file; finding 5 facts in fact books; caveman experience (drawing under the table of what potentially could be found in a cave); reading ‘The Stone Age Boy’ and observing tools, rocks and fossils from this era. This was a great hook into the topic and a fundamental means to ensure a learning experience with lasting impact. In observations and reviews a strength of mine is to build experiences such as these, which intuitively engage children and achieve fulfilment of potential. The curriculum pathway needs to be designed to be motivational and I believe that I can ensure this is continuously built and incorporated into your school.
Ensuring Impact, Pupil Progress and Recognising Individual Needs
During teaching I utilise AfL to continually adapt planning as needed to inform proceeding lessons, to address misconceptions and support learning. It is particularly interesting to note the vital need to root a topic in all subjects and see the greater progress children make and the ‘sticky knowledge’ concept at play. From teaching, studies and various opportunities of placements, my significant awareness of individual children’s metacognition needs and my capability to always strive and deliver inclusive and child-centred lessons was noted. I have been lucky enough to have a wide range of diverse teaching opportunities in both specialist and mainstream provision. In all settings I was aware of safeguarding and followed school guidelines. I have experience of pupil premium, SEN and SEMH needs and children with EAL, high achieving students and a mixed age class. While teaching in specialist provision I worked with students with PMLD and SLD needs; I planned and implemented tasks through a small steps approach, to create inclusive learning and holistic measures to meets their needs. I was then able to transfer these skills to a mainstream classroom practice, to incorporate various stimuli: creative and sensory-driven activities which are visually, auditory and kinaesthetically stimulating to actively engage each individual child. My colleagues have recognised my ability to adapt to individual needs and my analytical approach as a strength.
My degree has reinforced my knowledge and awareness of a holistic approach towards children’s education, when teaching the ability to adapt, plan, and deliver the curriculum as far as possible to the child’s individual needs and abilities is essential. Through appropriate deployment of support staff and differentiation in resourcing and approach, this allows me to anticipate potential barriers to learning, but also to challenge and advance the higher attaining pupils. I recognise it is essential for all children to be appropriately challenged and accomplish maximum progress. I consistently make use of assessment to advance progress. During teaching I observe and employ questioning, live-marking, written feedback and peer assessment as strategies to address a child’s understanding of a method or concept. I utilise specific positive and constructive oral feedback throughout all of my lessons, this offers in-the-moment feedback which provides the chance to address misconceptions that may inhibit learning. It has been observed that I consistently deploy a range of AfL strategies such as the use of highly effective open-ended questions to enable and promote a high proportion of pupil talk to assess and address knowledge, understanding and misconceptions during input to ensure misconception are minimised prior to task completion. Employing the use of AfL I have implemented various provisions, support strategies and various medium-term plans to accommodate the needs of students who struggle with reading comprehension, and maths. Here I recognised the essential need to adapt planned content, even if this means taking a step back, to simplify and embed subject knowledge in a small-step-by-step approach. During teaching I recognise that Enhancement is a crucial tool to utilise to maximise learning potential for all, whether it be to address previous misconceptions, or provide an enhancement of knowledge prior to lesson to be able to deploy cutaway groups to ensure optimum progress is consistently facilitated.
Through effective assessment/planning, it was imperative to ensure a student-voice and child-led approach was prevalent to encourage participation. For example, peer-learning, where understanding can be increased. I consistently instil a collaborative approach between me as the practitioner and the child/children where all voices and ideas are equal. I am aware of the need for Pace within a lesson that is appropriate to children’s needs to ensure consistent engagement.
Creating a Positive Culture with High Expectations and Outstanding Relationships
I consistently model and encourage the positive attitudes, choices and values expected from the children. My compassionate, empathetic and encouraging character ensues a learning environment where children are equal, have a voice and feel safe and supported in both aspects of educational and wellbeing development. This enables achievement of positive learning outcomes and growth socially, emotionally and academically. An in-depth understanding of the whole child is crucial. A knowledge of the child’s educational, social, emotional and mental health need and their family life is fundamental to minimise behavioural challenges. My responsibility is to consistently maintain a proactive approach that strives always to build and maintain a positive and inclusive environment, which takes into consideration the reasons for a child’s behaviour. I work to build respectful, positive and meaningful relationships with the children and their families. My belief is that behaviour management should be a restorative process, of moral reasoning and conflict resolution, and not a blanket approach. It is imperative that a child should be treated as an individual and teaching and behaviour strategies should, as far as possible, be flexible to ensure a positive outcome is achieved for each child. For example, I have written and implemented numerous EHCP's, individual behaviour management plans and strategies to support children who are struggling with certain aspects of the school environment. Emphasising my belief to take measures to reduce the possibility of challenging behaviour through establishing a stimulating, engaging, participatory, fun, and creative learning environment that encompasses all learning styles. Encouraging positive behaviour through praise and reward which will promote a growth mindset and a positive atmosphere.
Inclusion
Inclusion is of utmost importance and something I employ in my practice every day to ensure all are supported and have an understanding of the wider world. Practice, research and literature has emphasised the broad definition of inclusion and the need for it to be a person-centred approach and what may be acceptable and inclusive for one human may not be for another. Ergo communication, positive relationships is crucial to the overwhelming notion that the child is at the centre. Inclusion appears to be the social transformation of education and practice. The view and vision of the ideal concept of inclusion is to recognise the salient active-involvement to pursue common-place values. Ergo the trajectory for responsible inclusion is to recognise the multidiscipline of needs, whilst seated in practice, pedagogy, curriculum and access. Thus in practice I endeavour to recreate societal norms and educational commodification and pressures. Thereafter, identifying if strategies are feasible, funding is implemented, and necessary resources provided to accommodate all needs, regardless of disability, placement and provision. For example implementing emotional regulatory provisions with an Occupational Therapist and emotional support worker. Conducting a weekly social skills group and a safe space to converse and share problems through a variety of methods has also proved to promote inclusion in my classroom.
A specific example would be the diverse needs of children in my class who require different types of inclusion through differentiation of need, emotionally, academically and physically. Whether this be through seating, reward system, chill-time, voice utilised, mannerisms around the class and work given. For example I have two children in my class who have Autism with and EHCP and their needs are starkly different therefore I alter my approach with each of them through understanding their likes and dislikes, to ensure they make rapid academic progress.
Inclusion happens in my every day practice as a teacher not just with children but also parents. Dependent on parents background, language needs, and personality my approach differs to ensure they feel their voice is heard and that I have a strong understanding of their backgrounds. Refuting stereotypes is significant also therefore every day I promote to all my children they are capable of anything and everything in this world. I do this by educating them on Women's rights, Black History, and current affairs through watching the news and having regular open conversations. Alike the children within my class are from a variety of backgrounds therefore we do regular presentations, festival celebrations and show and tell to promote a further learning of diversity. Inclusion and diversity is of utmost importance to ensure we learn, share and enhance our knowledge of all people in the world.
In the education profession, I want children to receive a well-rounded education. By volunteering I developed personal attributes such as patience, enhanced knowledge of children’s needs, diligence and a positive conscientious attitude. I understood the huge impact a child’s background has on their development in all broad areas of need; therefore, the necessity to develop strong and trusting relationships with the children and be sensitive to their individual needs. Throughout volunteering experience and teaching opportunities, I have been complimented on my interaction and rapport with all children many of whom had a high level of additional needs and my ability to engage hard to reach children through appropriate implementation of strategies and support.
Thank you for considering my application. I would value the opportunity to share more with you at an interview about how I can contribute towards educational visions and ethos to create a positive, happy, welcoming and inclusive learning environment.
I am a qualified teacher. I have a range of experiences in school such as state junior and infant schools, private infant and junior schools, special educational needs schools, senior schools, forest schools and Montessori schools.

I completed teaching placements in year R, 2 and 4 on my teaching placements whilst doing my degree and I am currently a year 1 teacher. I have an in depth understanding of how to support my pupils on a hollistic level to their needs and interests. My mutual respect between myself and the pupil ensures enjoyment in learning and my further relationship with parents further enables me to gain an in depth understanding of the child to meet their educational and personal needs.

MY STORY
I am currently a grade-one “outstanding” teacher in my present school, and have been delivering KS3, GCSE and A Level English, Maths and History in the secondary and sixth-form sectors for the past 16 years, in which time my results have far surpassed national pass rates. Moreover, due to these outstanding results and innovative teaching methods, I have served as Assistant Head of Department; helping us to be awarded an internal grade 1 “outstanding” rating for the 6 years in which I held the post. Furthermore, I also have extensive experience as an “Advanced Practitioner”-tasked with turning around failing cohorts in some of the UK’s toughest classrooms, as well as my time as an examiner for a variety of GCSE/A Level exam boards.
Moreover, due to this long history of being a stand-out professional in the education sector, my advice has been sought out for occasional media and radio appearances for discussions on educational policy, whilst also being head-hunted to tutor the children of prominent public figures including Premiership footballers, Olympic athletes, luminaries of the business world, and even the family of a Nobel Prize winner for a month-which was awesome!
Furthermore, in also being an accomplished property developer with my own UK real-estate portfolio and honorary co-founder of a former property company alongside my partner, I have acted as a business mentor to Year 11 students on entrepreneurship, and how to begin their own journey in property investment, which has seen me guide some of the UK’s brightest new generation of business leaders.
In my remaining spare time, I am currently engaged in the pre-reading for the start of my future PHD in International Relations, during which I will be studying the geopolitics of any superpower conflict over Taiwan. Furthermore, I enjoy travelling extensively in our second home of Tuscany with my young family, supporting Manchester United, playing the drums, and playing the PlayStation (although not as much as I used to, these days!)
As my full and varied career has hopefully shown, I have a passion for English, maths, history, and the 11+ exams, taking great pride in providing the best academic and pastoral support I can, whilst hopefully being an outstanding role-model for all of my students, as I help them forge their way in the world.

TUTORING EXPERIENCE
I have a broad range of experience turning around struggling students in some of the UK’s toughest classrooms, as well as challenging high achieving learners in the pursuit of academic excellence. In my teaching and tutoring career thus far, I have taught across the curriculum age-ranges (7-18 years), as well as undergraduate and postgraduate level students, and specialise in teaching troubled learners lacking confidence, whilst pushing very bright pupils.
Since I began teaching at my institution, English pass-rates received a 25% upwards leap in the opening two years and my tutoring pass grades in my subjects of English, maths and history have been outstanding, so that the vast majority of my classes/tutees are now passing with strong academic grades, and attaining entry to prestigious preparatory schools and/or universities. During last academic year, my tutees enjoyed superb results in English, Maths, History and the 11+, with 96% reaching their target minimum grade, and 68% exceeding this mark, entering prestigious institutions such as the University of Durham, University of Heidelburg and Bromsgrove School, as well as world-class employers such as Rolls Royce. Therefore, over my career as a “super-tutor” so far, I am proud to have delivered over 15,000 lessons across 1000 students within 32 countries, from the UK to Hong Kong.
I also have considerable mentoring expertise, in having built my own UK property portfolio currently valued at £2.75 million from scratch, I have mentored many adult and teenage entrants into property investing, guiding their purchases and renovations to the overall value of £14 million, and counting. In addition to this, I have also been an informal mentor to UK gang members, tasked with persuading them to their back on lives of criminality, and embrace the transformative potential of education, which has been among the most rewarding roles of my career thus far.

TUTORING APPROACH
Besides enjoying superb results, my pupils benefit from a relaxed yet challenging atmosphere, with high commitment being expected of them and this has shown to bring both personal and academic growth, which is always pleasing to see. Moreover, in strengthening self-esteem and exciting the minds of my students, to equip them with the skills they need to excel in later life, I seek to provide them with only the finest education possible.
In terms of my lesson delivery, I always strive to be on the cutting-edge of education in use of teaching resources and methods. Therefore, my approach to tutoring makes use of the techniques of “blended learning”, utilising advanced video-conferencing software, modern presentational packages such as Prezi, powerful virtual learning environments and resourced by well-known educational companies, all supported by online platforms provided by GCSE Bitesize, amongst others. This constant innovation was perhaps best illustrated by my recent use of computer games as a learning tool, which led to some of my classes’ GCSE English creative writing being utilised by exam boards as exemplars to share across the UK, in which they were inspired by video games such as Halo and Mass Effect to attain grade 9s.
In light of this dedication to using Smart tech to deliver a first-class education, throughout my teaching career in inner-city schools and sixth-forms, I have become known for never leaving any learner behind, whilst using creative methods in covering the curriculum in an accessible and enjoyable way.
Needless to say, I passionately believe that education should be a joy, not a chore, and I always do my best to ensure this for each and every one of my students, both in the classroom and online.

I am an experienced teacher of history with over ten years of experience teaching in a range of secondary schools across the UK including grammar, independent and state schools. I am experienced in teaching pupils from Year 7 to year 13, and have prepared hundreds of students for examinations and coursework at GCSE level, A level and International Baccalaureate. I have a strong track record of securing excellent outcomes for my pupils, many of which have gone on to study history and related subjects at a range of elite universities including Oxbridge and Ivy League colleges. I have worked with most UK examination boards and complete regular training, including a teaching leadership course with the Ambition Insitute, to ensure my knowledge of both pedagogy and current examination criteria is up to date.
My experience has given me knowledge of a wide range of pupils' learning requirements and I am able to adapt my teaching to suit the particular requirements of each pupil, whether it be essay technique, tuition on a particular period of history, Oxbridge admissions coaching or effective techniques to revise effectively for examinations. I can tutor face to face or online, depending on your requirements.

I have tutored privately abroad, as well as in Britain, and have an immensely successful record with my tutees. In addition to online tuition throughout the academic year, I also offer intensive tuition during school and university holidays, which both tutees and parents find particularly useful for preparation, consolidation of knowledge and, if need be, to get a tutee back on track. For peace of mind, I have an enhanced DBS check, and am subscribed to the annual update service.
Tuition Approach.
Patient, understanding, relaxed, interactive, theme-based, and multi-disciplinary. Use of past papers, analysis, deconstruction of exam and essay questions, concepts, and requirements, development of essay and exam structure. I pay particular attention to a student's self-confidence and self-expression, which often serve as catalysts for enhanced self-belief and success.
Focus on: Latin, Classical Greek, Classical Civilisation lessons online or in London, UK.
I have had several years experience teaching Classics in the UK and am now completing my MA in Classics alongside my full time work as a Classics teacher in south London. As a key member I have been developing our provision so we now offer A Level Classical Greek for the first time in several years! One of the areas I particularly enjoy working in is successfully supporting young students as they prepare for entrance exams with previous experience in particular for St Pauls Boys and Winchester College. If required, I can also provide lessons, tutoring, or general support in English and History, if needed.
My A Level classes of 2022 all scored highly in their exams - 100% A*s in Latin and 100% A-C in Classical Civiliation.
In 2023, my GCSE and A Level classes continued to excel despite the return to 2019 standards and reduction in exam support from the boards, and I am incredibly proud of them all:
GCSE Classical Greek 80% 9-7
GCSE Latin 80%+ 9-7
A Level Classical Civilisation 85% A*-C
Current availability for tutoring sessions:
Free most weekday evenings - online or in person depending on location.
Free weekends - online or in person depending on location.
I have recently graduated from the University of Birmingham with first-class honours, as well as the Richard Shackleton prize for best dissertation in the year. As a consequence, I have developed my essay writing techniques and structures to a level that is a very high standard. Within my tutoring sessions, I will be able to help to pass on the skills and techniques to my clients and make them feel comfortable and assured when facing a tricky question or concept.
Most importantly, however, history and English are subjects that need to be approached with curiosity and fascination. My sessions will approach various history and literature in a way that removes the perceived dustiness from History and English and will help the client to approach difficult concepts in an interpretive manner, which will help them to write clearer and more confident answers.
I am a current masters student and very flexible, I will be able to be accomodating for the student when they would like a tutoring session. Moreover, I will offer the first session free in order to see if the client enjoys and responds to the teaching. Flexibility and comfort are crucial.
I will be able to offer valuable essay and exam technique for clients in their GCSE or A-Level cycle- or just for students wishing to feel more confident. Fundamentally I will instruct how to break down a question, choose an appropriate structure, pick critical evidence and lay down quality and evaluative analysis. For clients looking to develop a wider interest in historical events, ideas and theories, I can use the experience and reading from my university years to teach these in a unique and exciting way. I firmly believe History to be dependent on curiosity and I would relish teaching it in this way.
For those looking for English lessons: I attained an A* in my GCSE, an A* overall in my A-Level (including full marks on my English coursework in year 13), as well as a first in a module on George Orwell in my final year that was very literature-based. I am more than capable of teaching a fascinating programme in both English and History and I look forward to doing so.

I have many years of experience teaching ACADEMIC ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE (and in many cases third or even fourth) to university students and mature students. I am a certified TEFL teacher.
My approach is STUDENT- and GOAL-ORIENTED. Tutoring will be carefully tailored to the needs and abilities of the individual student in order to MAXIMISE your LEARNING POTENTIAL AND CREATIVITY, greatly improve your UNDERSTANDING AND SKILLS, boost your CONFIDENCE, and, perhaps most importantly of all, ENJOY YOUR LEARNING EXPERIENCE.
I have been a professor, lecturer, and tutor at universities in the UK (Lancaster University, University of Bath, University of Western England), United States (Minnesota, Columbia NY), and South America (Universidad de Buenos Aires, Universidad de Belgrano) for the last 20 years. My main subjects have been philosophy, history, psychology, and physics, as well as social research methods and theory, including both qualitative and quantitative methods. For the last 13 years, I have also taught English language, critical theory and thinking, and discourse analysis, as well as teaching and supervising students. I have supervised and mentored many PHD students.
As co-founder and director of the John Dewey Center for Democracy and Education, affiliated with the Institute of Advanced Study, University of Minnesota, I have great interest in education as a means by which we discover what it means to be a human being and tap into our CREATIVITY AND INTELLIGENCE.
I am also a published author (13 books to date) and certified life coach.
My Psychology degree and 9 years of experience working with children with Neuro-divergence and additional educational needs prior to teaching have significantly shaped my approach to teaching.
I prioritise relationship building and trust with students and their caregivers.
I am patient, kind, and incredibly encouraging but have high expectations. I work with students for them to also gain high expectations in themselves. This may happen in the first few sessions or may take a longer period of time depending on the student.
I help students gain high expectations for themselves by initially giving tasks where they are guaranteed success, then celebrating and reflecting on this success and how they were able to use the skills taught and their effort to complete the task. This builds a persons confidence and significantly increases the likelihood of attempting more difficult tasks. This is heavily proven by research (and seen in my classroom daily) known as the “theory of self efficacy” and the “theory of planned behaviour”.
If a person does not believe a task is within their capability, they are incredibly unlikely to even attempt it (No matter how much we believe they can do it).
It is my job to SHOW students they can do it by designing tasks and lessons in a way that they feel challenged finish with pride in their achievements.
When teaching new skills I will show them first, then we will complete a task together, then they will apply the skills independently. I will be constantly assessing as they work independently and provide support where necessary. The ultimate goal is to phase back my support until they are using the taught skills correctly, consistently, confidently and independently.
Lessons will vary depending on students needs. If caregivers want to spend a percentage of the lesson to discuss, that will be agreed upon. If there are specific targets you want me to cover then we can dedicate time for you to tell me these expectations. If you would prefer me to assess your student and gage where the gaps are and plan accordingly, that is also ok.
I would suggest an initial session to meet, and discuss goals.

Is your child in secondary school but needs support in the foundation subjects such as reading, writing or maths?
Reading and writing is an essential skills in secondary school for every subject. I can support your child to close the gap so they can access all subjects with their peers. Having worked in secondary schools before, I have seen how much students are required to read and write in all lessons, but there will not be opportunities to learn these fundamental skills at school.
I welcome students of all ages (including adults) from all backgrounds and of all abilities.
I look forward to meeting you soon and celebrating the amazing progress ahead!
I am fresh from higher education and excited to tutor, having completed my History BA less than a year ago. I have been blessed with a rich private education myself (St Paul's School), which has given me an appreciation for the needs of the ambitious student at primary school and secondary school levels. I believe that I can guarantee your learning with very precise communication of subjects, in response to your preferred manner of visualisation, studying or revision. I also keep consummate, effective knowledge of many different subjects thanks to my A-standard performance across 11 GCSEs and 4 A-Levels during private education. I will provide you the best version of the lessons I was taught at these elite institutions.
I am a 65 years old tutor of predominantly History and Politics, with English and Religious Studies as my supplementary subjects.
Willing to teach on-line by Skype (preferred) or Zoom, as well as person-to-person.
As you will note from my qualifications and professional experience, I have taught all four subjects for some 35 years, at College, University, Sixth Form College and High School. While the majority of my teaching has been in the UK, mainly in Birmingham, London and Bristol, nevertheless I have also taught abroad at university in the Philippines. Additionally, I have been an A'Level Politics and History examiner for the former London and Oxford & Cambridge boards in the 1990s and early post-millennium decade. So also, have I written course brochures for the History and Politics Distance - learning programmes for the National Extension College, Cambridge. All of this has added up to my having acquired a broad professional experience, which I put to the benefit of my students.
My teaching style is very much subject and communication based, with the emphasis applying knowledge and essay skills towards achieving the best exam results. There is also a priority attached to reading and grammar skills, both of which appear to be neglected by the contemporary British educational establishment. Hopefully I can use my experience and robust teaching methods towards enabling students to gain their best performance in exams and careers. - Please also note that I am happy to tutor students on-line - ie. Skype (Preferred) or Zoom, and have a fair experience of this kind of teaching.
