Information About Eliza:
Personal Description:
I am currently a student at Bath university studying Sports and Coach education. I hope to go into teaching after university although i am currently unsure whether i want to do this at a primary or secondary school level. I am hoping a job in tutoring will not only give me an insight into what age group i would work permanently with but also give me valuable learning experience that will help me in the future.
I attained good grade levels all throughout my time at school and am currently on track for a high 2:1 for my degree.
I am a confident, lively, energetic and likable character. Due to my many hobbies and jobs, I have a diverse social network which has benefited me by enabling me to get along with anybody irrespective of background, age gender or culture.
Teaching Experience:
I have had many years experience working as a swimming teacher and have excellent references from all the swim schools i worked with. Through working as a swimming teacher i have been able to develop my delivery and listening skills as it is crucial that you have all the pupils attention at all times to minimise potential risks.
I have had one months experience working as a teaching assistant in a year 1 and year 6 class at a primary school which i found very rewarding. During this time i did one-to-one reading sessions with year one pupils and worked with the top maths table of both year 1 and 6 which involved over seeing their work and helping any pupils who were finding a task challenging. In addition, I have also set up an after school multi-sports club for a local primary school which I and a friend run on a Friday afternoon. This involves planning lessons suitable for the 15 pupils aged between 8-11 that attend this club, using suitable styles to maintain control and interest and above all make it fun so that they want to come again.
Finally I have served as a tutor to my younger sisters (currently aged 7 and 10) and to neighbours children (all between the ages of 5- 12). This has mostly involved assisting them with their Math, English and science homework.
Tutoring Approach:
I believe the key to teaching is to try and make the task as enjoyable as possible, so I primarily adopt a friendly but firm approach. Any child will work harder at something that they find interesting. I like to create a stress free environment where the student feels able to ask any questions and voice their uncertainties. I assess the pupils strengths and weaknesses and am a strong supporter in using teaching aids such as analogies, mind mapping, etc to turn these weaknesses into strengths.
I endeavour to get the best out of any student and help them achieve their full potential and above all help them to develop the confidence to help themselves.
My years in sports teaching has meant I've adopted a teaching style requires input from both student and teacher. I will not simply 'spoon feed' a student the answers as i believe a guided approach is much more beneficial. It provides the pupil with confidence and skills that can be applied to many other aspects and expeirences in life.
