My Summary
About Me
I am a qualified primary school teacher with 6 years classroom experience and 1 year of tutoring experience. If you have a specific area you would like your child to receive support with or a particular academic goal in mind for them, I can deliver activities and exercises that can support them. I tend to recommend that KS1 children attend sessions in person but that most KS2 children are adept enough with ICT to attend either online or in person.
Most of my families wish me to support with early reading including phonics lessons, maths and English including writing. I also provide support for parents wishing to learn more about how phonics are taught in order to help their children learn to read at home. This has been a popular service, especially with home educating families.
I will need to meet your child initially, in order to carry out a low stress, baseline assessment and better understand their learning style and interests. I will then create lessons to help them progress from their current level. With your permission, it would also be useful for me to liaise with their teachers and check that our targets and approaches are aligned, as consistency tends to yield the best results.
My Experience
I studied at UWE and Bath Spa (twice) and earned in that time a BA (HONS) in Primary Education Studies, my Early Years Professional Status, which is a post graduate level qualification, as well as returning to university to complete my PGCE and qualify as a primary school teacher (QTS).
In amongst my periods of study, I also had a 6 year career in the Royal Navy and so value hard work, organisation and calm under pressure.
I trained in primary schools for a year and was then taken on full time once I qualified. In my time in the classroom I have taught both KS1 and 2 including SATS years. I now tutor full time as my sole occupation.
My Qualifications
BA (HONS) Education Studies from UWE - Primary based education focussing on delivering the National Curriculum, Learning Theories, Cross Curricular Teaching methods. The degree also involved a large amount of teaching time in schools i.e planning, teaching, marking etc.
Early Years Professional Status from Bath Spa University - An EYP's job is to work with other early years professionals to ensure that standards of best practice are being met. This involves observing and coaching staff, identifying their training needs, implementing and teaching staff about government guidelines. This means I have a thorough knowledge of child development and the early years curriculum.
