Information About Lucy:

Personal Description:

Hi, I'm Lucy!

I am currently working in a Infant and Primary School as a Pupil Support Assistant and Teaching Assistant. My role is to use interventions in raising attainment and improving behaviour. I also work with children who have English as an additional language, pre-teaching for SATS, and provide additional speech and language teaching.

Having worked extensively with children over the years I feel I able to gain a good rapport quickly, I am friendly and sociable. And definitely have a responsible and hard-working work ethic.

Teaching Experience:

I have recently finished my Masters degree at Manchester University in Educational Psychology, and I hope to further my career to qualify as a Educational and Child Psychologist.

I have worked with children of all ages, from babies to older teenagers, and I really enjoy making an impact on their learning.

I have taught in Africa, I have been a mentor, a teaching assistant, an LSA and youth worker. I am currently working in Sheffield as a pupil development worker.

Tutoring Approach:

I believe the main aim with tutoring is building self-esteem. If a child believes he/she can achieve in a subject then they are more likely to succeed. Therefore I have a positive approach to teaching, by setting targets and giving lots of praise.
I also feel that learning should be fun not a chore, therefore I always aim my teaching around areas which children enjoy and progress from there.

Qualifications:

• MEd Psychology of Education
• Child Protection training
