Information About Amar:

Personal Description:

I am 28 year old gentleman, born in switzerland, and bilingual in english and french. I graduated with a BSc (hons) psychology degree from the University of London, and spent time teaching autistic children on a one-to-one basis in Geneva. I also practiced in various schools as a short term teaching assisstant.

Currently living in North East, since 2006, I embarked on a six months mathematics course in view of a career teaching Mathematics, up to the GCSE and A-levels. Having also some experience teaching voluntarily and on a PGCE training course, I am currently looking forward to working independently and efficiently.

I look forward to helping you or your child improve the necessary skills to reach your educational goals.

Teaching Experience:

2006 - 2007: Teaching Assistant in various schools:
- Swiss Cottage School, London
- Norham Community Technology College, Norham
- Little Eaton Primary School, Derby
- Planned and delivered mathematics lessons to pupils (aged 12-14) with various behavioural, emotional and cognitive difficulties

2004 - 2005: Geneva Centre for Autism, Switzerland & Canada
Therapist, Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA)
- To teach sign language and speech to autistic children
- Prevent self-harmful inclinations and behaviours that would be obstructive to an environment suitable for learning and developing communication..

Partially completed a Mathematics PGCE covering many theoretical and practical aspects of teaching and learning. Extensive reading on teaching practice and extensive knowledge of cognitive psychology, learning behaviours, memory, and motivation.

Tutoring Approach:

I take time to assess the pupils level, by informal interview and gradually working through different problems with increasing difficulty levels. Most importantly, I make sure the learning experience is not stressful for the student.

The pupil/guardian has an important role in determining what will be covered, and when he is ready to move to the following topic. The most important aim is the satisfaction and confidence gained from having understood the topics of the day.

I make sure the student has a high success rates on the mathematical problems he must tackle, bt extending the level of difficulty within the reach of his capacities, and offering guidance in thinking and problem solving. I believe in the importance of the nature and timing of the feedback I give back to the student.

The student is encouraged to find, then to use, techniques to verify or evaluate the accuracy of his answers.
