My duties still include teaching a substantial amount of hours across various curriculum areas. I am a very successful manager with success and achievement rates into the high 90 percent, especially with A-levels and Foundation Degree programmes.

Tutoring Approach:

My initial approach is to learn as much as I can about the learner and their primary learning needs, identify differentiation, and create a suitable learning plan that will meet the aims and objectives of the learner. As a personal tutor to my own groups, their needs come first and I am continously reviewing indiviual personal learning plans to ensure that my learners are acheiving. I have been teaching to various age groups for many years, and I can easily adapt my teaching and learning strategies to all. I provide continuous support and guidance. I easily gain the respect of my learners, by demonstrating the respect in the first instance.

• Post Graduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) in Post Compulsory Education and Training
