Margaret - Newport tutor






Information About Margaret:


Personal Description:

I am married with 2 grown-up children and a 4-year old granddaughter. My interests include reading (mainly crime and mystery novels), choral singing with a local choir and walking with our Labrador dog.



Teaching Experience:

After completing my degree in Classics I did a PGCE. I then taught English for 5 years at a secondary school in South London. I left teaching and joined the Post Office, where I trained as an accountant and took a number of IT training courses. For the last 5 years of my Post Office career I worked as an adult trainer in the project management field. In 2002 I took early retirement and, since then, have worked part-time as a Home Tutor with Caerphilly County Borough Council, teaching English and Maths to GCSE level as well as other subjects as necessary. Since 2003, I have been firstly an Examiner and, for the last 2 years, a Team Leader for Edexcel GCSE Citizenship Studies.



Tutoring Approach:

I believe that the learning process should be very much a joint endeavour. It is important to agree a set of objectives and timescales and to measure progress by regular testing and reviews. Lessons should be structured but relaxed and both teacher and pupil(s) should be prepared to work together to achieve the objectives.
