LoginMikayla - West Wickham tutor
Information About Mikayla:
Personal Description:
My name is Mikayla and I have been teaching for 3 years now in primary schools. I had year 5 for 2 years and year 3 for 1 year and am currently a PPA teacher teaching Reception to year 6.
In addition to my teaching experience, I have plentiful amounts of experience working with children and young people. In the past I have worked as a nanny and childminder.
Teaching Experience:
I have a breadth of teaching experience having taught in a variety of different primary and secondary schools across London, Kent and East Sussex.
In 2010, I undertook international placements and have experience working with a variety of different pupils in varied settings including primary schools, international middle schools, pupil referral units and centres which cater for children with special educational needs.
I have references and a current CRB check which you are more than welcome to have a copy of.
Tutoring Approach:
My approach in teaching varies according to the young person I am tutoring. I believe in an individual support programme which is catered around the needs of the individual.
All children and young people learn in different ways, some preferring practise, others preferring more practical demonstrations. Much of my tutoring will be through encouraging the child to think about the subject from different perspectives. Whilst teaching cannot avoid scenario's where children will have to listen - I try to ensure that activities are selected which carefully match the needs of the tutee.
I believe the best results are achieved when you know the child and their interests; once this professional relationship has been established, future sessions can be planned for considering the child or young persons interests.
For example, one of the children I tutor needed support in his writing, his parents were concerned with his understanding of different texts (fiction, non-fiction, reports etc). It is common for boys to be unenthused by writing so I found out that his passion was in sports and football (surprise surprise!) It wasn't long before this young lad was looking through information texts about football and reading newspaper articles about his favourite football team. This provided the perfect opportunity to discuss which components of the text provided what information; this was then linked to the features of reports, recounts, information texts etc.
