I am a young bright engaging woman with a full teaching qualification currently studying History and Politics at the London School of Economics and working with the university as a tutor for students in local schools. I have returned to education having been teaching PSHE and life skills at West Suffolk College in Suffolk for the last 6 months. Previously to this I worked as a substitute teacher in a struggling school in Suffolk teaching a wide range of subjects to students aged between 11-16. I have tutored several students through GCSE Maths while I was in school in a one on one setting as well as teaching debate to larger classes of children from the ages of 9-18. Additionally, I worked part time teaching self-esteem workshops for young girls as part of the women's charity PHEOBE. It is vital to a student’s development to be taught in an environment that does not patronise but encourages the value of learning. Understanding the value of the content of why you’re learning something is crucial and I believe I flourish in my ability to teach in such a way that does just this. I have struggled myself with dyslexia so have a good comprehension of learning need and techniques to help target these needs.
