Janneke - Gloucester tutor






Information About Janneke:


Personal Description:

I am a Dutch woman of 31 years of age. At the beginning of August 2007 I moved from the Netherlands to the UK. I live with my British partner in Gloucester.
I have two Dutch degrees in Higher Professional Education:
PABO Teacher's Training College - Primary Education
Facilitary Services - Consumer Affairs



Teaching Experience:

At the moment I work on Saturdays as a primary teacher at a Dutch language and culture school in Chester. There I teach children, who are related to The Netherlands, the Dutch language and culture. We use an official Dutch primary school method and are monitored by the Dutch education-inspection.
Before I moved to the UK I worked for 4,5 years as a teacher at a Dutch primary school for special education. I taught children with learning difficulties and/or behaviour problems. Before that time I worked as an employee in communication and as a management assistant. I am a native Dutch speaker, but also fluent in English (verbally and written).



Tutoring Approach:

The following three aspects are very important and are conditions to develop: Safety - Confidence - Independancy. I find it important that a child feels safe during tuition and has confidence in himself/herself , the tutor and the situation, and feels independant. Only when those conditions are achieved a child is able to learn and develop. I look at someones aim(s) and abilities and adapt my tuition on those aspects. Together we try to take the next step on the ladder.
