Damien - Salford tutor






Information About Damien:


Personal Description:

I am a warm and friendly person and enjoy making my lessons fun and interesting. I like to get to know my students and want to make sure I can relate to them by using relevant resources and materials. I am passionate about the subjects I teach and have spent a lot of time creating lessons that can help each student to progress.
I am always open to suggestions on how to make my lessons better and want to help each person achieve their goals.



Teaching Experience:

I have a PGCE and over five years teaching experience. I have taught in both France and Germany and at language schools in the UK. In France I was a teaching assistant to students in primary, junior and secondary schools. In Germany I worked for a business school and taught English to adults. I have worked with adults from Libya and Saudi Arabia, teaching them English.
I currently teach literacy and numeracy to post 16 year old in Manchester.
I enjoy meeting new and different people and I like creating lessons that can motivate and encourage learners.



Tutoring Approach:

I believe it is vital that the student gets exactly what they want from their lesson. There is no point teaching information if the material is not relevant to the learner. I have sat in classrooms myself and not been motivated! I therefore always talk to my learners at the beginning of a course, find out what they want from the lessons, before I then plan the content.
Constant reviewing in lessons is critical in making sure the student is developing and I always get feedback from the learner to make sure I am doing my job properly.
