A happy, friendly and organised teacher, able to motivate reluctant learners, or put at ease nervous students. I have years of experience in building up student's confidence and getting results in reading!
Lessons will be based around exploring and learning, using different cognitive methods to aid memory and understanding. I work on the principle 'Involve me and I learn', which means that learning is student led, fun and memorable!
I have 3 years experience of teaching in a classroom, with many more working in childcare, as well as teaching coding to smaller groups. I have had classes of up to 32 but many that are much smaller. Students in my class are happy, have grown in confidence and have achieved the yearly expected level, or beyond.
