My skills and experience teaching English and Maths: I have worked in the KS2 classroom and at home school providing a thorough education in core subjects such as English and maths. I am confident delivering the curriculum including the current requirements and learning goals. I use a range of interactive and written methods to ensure learning is fun and each student is able to access new topics. My role as subject coordinator in maths and English has allowed me to plan and follow plans, to deliver each subject effectively.

My skills and experience developing motivation and engagement in learning: My experience to date creating homeschool environments has allowed me to gain an insight into the needs and challenges of the homeschool student. I have the skills to create a personally tailored curriculum that ensures the best academic programme to engage a student in learning tasks whilst motivating them to reach their goals. Mixing longer and shorter activities allow my student to have the satisfaction of a goal met whilst inspiring them to become engaged in the learning process.

My skills and experience boosting students’ self-esteem and confidence: In my teaching experience, positive reinforcement has proven key to unlock a student's confidence and ensure they are best placed to be happy and succeed at school. I celebrate every achievement with encouraging words and rewards. I feel my approachable nature means my student are happy to ask me questions when they face difficulties. My approach is to ensure children reflect upon their process as a crucial part of the learning process and set their own goals in addition to their teachers. My experience has taught me that having high yet achievable expectations for my students raises their confidence in their abilities.

My skills and experience helping students to develop focus and concentration: During the current global pandemic, my teaching skills have evolved to enable children to access their learning online. I plan interesting and engaging lessons using a range of resources that spark their interests and foster a love of learning. Using methods such as screen movement breaks and active learning tasks, I am experienced helping students of all primary age groups work towards longer periods of concentration and focus.

I have extensive experience working with students who need at-home support to develop areas of confidence and general academic skills. I am skilled in introducing study routines for students who have trouble organising themselves and need general study support in order to organise their academic life.
