Cambridge postgraduate and former primary school teacher with 6 years experience in primary tutoring
|
I am a postgraduate student at the University of Cambridge and former primary school teacher of 3 years. I tutor all primary subjects, from early phonics and arithmetic all the way up to SATs. With a few years' experience as a Year 6 teacher, I am particularly experienced in preparing children for KS2 SATs.
Regardless of your child's age, attainment level at school, or interests, my main goal is to help them feel empowered and supported-- every child is uniquely intelligent and, with the right support, can thrive in academic settings! For KS1 and lower KS2 pupils, I make a point to incorporate as many learning strategies as possible, often including games to keep things interesting. I use many techniques to assess children's learning: from formal assessment methods, to asking questions and using tiered worksheets to determine the challenge level they are best able to work at. For upper KS2 pupils, I take a more structured approach to learning, and will recommend lots of flashcards, practice papers, and lessons on particular grammatical and language concepts.
I have a First Class MA (Hons) from the University of St Andrews a PGCE with QTS from the UCL Institute of Education. I am now pursuing a further degree at Cambridge!
