Information About Lisa:

Personal Description:

I currently teach KS3, GCSE and A-level Geography at St Philomena's School in Carshalton. I successfully completed my PGCE with Goldsmiths University. I have studied Geography at GCSE, A-Level and at Nottingham University, where I achieved a 2:1. I have a great deal of enthusiasm for Geography and feel that I can instill this in others. Moreover, I believe that by inspiring pupils, this will motivate them to achieve their potential.

Teaching Experience:

Before teaching at St Philomena's I had placements in Riddlesdown High School and Elliot School, where I was able to teach Geography to pupils aged between 11-18. Prior to this, I have also worked in activity camps, where I carried out sports and arts and crafts activities with children aged 5-11. I feel that my wide variety of teaching experiences enables me to find ways to interact with children from a diverse range of backgrounds and with very different learning styles.

Tutoring Approach:

I believe that learning should be enjoyable. Where possible, I use a variety of teaching methods to cater for all learning styles, enthuse and enable pupils to work to their full potential. Pupils should gain confidence and fully understand the aims and objectives of their work, as well as how to apply it. At GCSE in particular, I think it is important to find ways of condensing information, in order to make revision more manageable.

Qualifications:

• GCSE Geography - A*
• A-Level Geography - A
• 2:1 Geography Degree
• PGCE
