Information About Michael:

Personal Description:

I'm a 30 year old Newly Qualified Teacher, having completed a PGCE at Manchester Metropolitan University's Institute of Education. I am currently a class teacher at a large Primary School in Newport. As a science specialist, I am more than happy to help secondary school children struggling in the subject despite my primary school background. I have also gained both a degree and masters degree in Media Production and am able to assist undergrads, Btec and A'Level students with media studies.

Teaching Experience:

After Graduating from University, I lead a semester of seminars at the University of Sunderland in Media Studies and Video production as a visiting lecturer before engaging my first industry contract. Since then i have been building up my knowledge base in the practical world of TV.

I spent the 18 months working in North West Primary schools, providing English and Maths support to children between the ages of 6 and 16. Since then I have worked in 3 primary schools as a class teacher in years 4 and 6.

After a 6 months of supply teaching in South Wales, I was appointed class teacher at a primary school in Newport for the 2011-12 academic year.

Tutoring Approach:

I like to approach tutoring on a purely individual basis. No student is the same. Learning should be something we enjoy not a chore. As a result I like to engage the pupil by making the work relative to them. This allows them to appreciate the task at hand and engage in it rather than trying to avoid 'extra work'.

Qualifications:

• BA (hons) Media Production, Television and Radio
• MA Video Production
• PGCE Primary
