I have a BEd (Hons) in History & Geography and an MA Part 1 in Understanding Children with ASD. I acquired both of these qualifications at Kingston University. I spent my first 13 years of teaching with primary ages EYFS-Y6 teaching all core subjects and lead English, IT and RE whilst teaching. I moved to an international school and taught History in the Middle School. I have begun private tuition and am enjoying teaching meeting and teaching new students - my key goal is for all students to be the best version of themselves!

​

I love teaching the different age groups and subjects, but in particular History, English and Science. I enjoy different methods for finding solutions to problems with students leading the learning, encouraging curiosity and formulating lots of questions!.

​

When I plan lessons I make them interactive, rewarding - keeping the student at the centre. There are lots of opportunities for students to talk and explain to me how they know what they know - we complete quizzes, mind-maps and sketches to show learning. We use notebooks for writing and electronic resources as needed - it is important to me to meet student needs and work with them to bring out their best!

 

My approach to planning lessons is to make lessons child-centred, fun and as practical and relevant to real-life as I can. I believe that students relate and retain concepts better this way.

 

I look forward to working with you and learning about what you can do, climb over any hurdles and reach your goals!
