Information About Becky:

Personal Description:

Hi!

I'm a 21-year old trainee teacher studying in Winchester. I have vast experience teaching and working with children (see below) and I am confident in my own ability of subjects across the curriculum.

I live in Farnham, Surrey and will shortly be moving to Fleet, Hampshire. I am willing to travel, but do not drive so access via public transport is a must. I can also tutor from home, if that is more practical.

I'm fun and enthusiastic- I think learning is best achieved when children are enjoying themselves. I therefore constantly strive to teach learning objectives in varied and interesting ways.

Teaching Experience:

As I mentioned above, I am a trainee teacher. I'm halfway through my training, having completed two years and this has given me ample opportunity to teach.

I have taught one-on-one, small groups and whole class lessons in a variety of subjects (in particular English and Maths) with ages 6- 9. I have also had experience of observing and assisting in the teaching of children aged 4- 11, so I'm confident in my ability to teach across the primary age range.

In addition, I have previously worked in nurseries caring for children aged 3 months- 4 years, following the Early Years Foundation Stage guidelines within small groups.

Tutoring Approach:

My approach to tutoring is informal and laid back. I find this motivates children much more than a strict approach as they enjoy learning and look forward to sessions.

I try to vary each session following my own planning guidelines. Typically, I will start with a subject-appropriate game (for example, Maths Bingo) to warm the child into the learning mood. The main bulk of the session is focusing on the learning objective in a stress-free environment, and then the last 15 minutes are a recap of the session to ensure the learning objectives have been achieved.

I'm a huge advocater of praise, praise, praise to increase confidence and therefore motivation, and follow Bruner's Spiral Curriculum, to ensure the child does not forget key points.

Qualifications:

• A-Levels: English Literature B, Graphic Design C, 3D Art C
• CACHE Certificate: Caring for Children
• GCSEs: 9 A*-C including English, Maths and Science
• Currently studying towards: Ba (hons) Primary Education. Averaging 2i
