Information About Christine:

Personal Description:

I took early retirement in 2007, with a view to selling our house and moving away from London. I moved up to Nottinghamshire in April 2009, to fill the post of MFL Supply teacher at The National School, Hucknall, for one term.

I live in a village close to the M1 motorway and the Derby/Notts border.

I drive and am quite familiar with Derbyshire, where I grew up and Nottinghamshire, where I now live.

Teaching Experience:

I taught French, German and some Spanish for 37 years in London. For much of that time I was Head of Department in 4 schools and a member of the Senior Management Team, with responsibility for MFL, NQT's and GTPS, STaff Development and the bid for Investors in People.

My husband and I have taken hundreds of students to Germany & France on various Twinning visits and for a while I assisted the Twinning Officer in Hackney, East London. I have delivered INSET in both Hackney and Waltham Forest and have always been involved in extra-curricular activities, such as Multi-Cultural Poetry Evenings, Eid celebrations & Caribbean Carnival.

Tutoring Approach:

I have frequently provided individual tuition in French & German in after-school slots; I offered German tuition for one student, when there were no mainstream German classes.

I see the role of Tutor as that of enabling and encouraging the student to take responsibility for his/her own learning, and also to support their understanding, where maybe mainstream has failed, or where long-term absence from class has held the student back. Much of the job depends on the ability to motivate and encourage students who may otherwise be lacking confidence in themselves.

Qualifications:

• GCE O LEVEL 9 SUBJECTS
• BA HONS DEGREE, FRENCH WITH GERMAN
• PGCE
