I have 5 years of experience working as a primary school teacher and 8 years experience with tutoring. I tutor students from a variety of backgrounds and have been able to bond with them by learning about their interests and using that as a way to teach. If a student has a hobby such as playing sports, playing an instrument or reading, I like to discuss that with them at the beginning of each class as this shows that their interests and passions are important too and not something they have to ignore in order to progress academically. I make myself available to parents who want to talk to me either in or outside of class hours about anything concerning their child’s development and emotional well-being. As the curriculums children learn are vast, they often forget things they have learned before, so I like to go back to previous topics and make sure that students are able to recall how to tackle topics that have been covered before, and having the ability to teach these subjects to their parents by setting questions for them is a great way to consolidate knowledge. I teach all four of the core 11+ subjects, with a particular passion for making maths subjects understandable to each child in an individualised manner, using a variety of methods that help them with creative writing and answering tough comprehension questions in ways that will guarantee them full marks. I use a variety of materials such as Bond online, ATOM and textbooks so set homework does not feel repetitive for children.
