Information About Caroline:

Personal Description:

After completing A levels in English, German and Psychology, I went on to work in licensed conveyancing for a year. It soon dawned upon me that this was not the career for me. I wanted to be in a career which I could be passionate about and make a difference. This is when I decided to go to university and pursue a degree in Education Studies and Psychology at the University of Greenwich. My degree gave me an insight to the way in which we learn and behave and laid a solid foundation on which to build my knowledge of teaching. Immediately after successfully completing my Degree, I was offered a place on the PGCE primary education course, which I completed in 2006.

Teaching Experience:

I am a qualified teacher, trained in both key stage 1 and 2 (5-11yrs). My first two years of teaching were spent in London where I taught in Key stage 2. I am currently working with a mixed Key stage 1 (yr1/2) class in an Essex primary school. I have taught children of varying abilities and backgrounds and am able to adapt my teaching to suit the needs of the individual child. I am aware of and up-to-date with all current primary education policies and frameworks set out by the government, as well as having an excellent understanding of the marking criteria used to assess and level students at KS1 and 2 SATs. I am also very comfortable teaching pupils at Key stages 3 and 4 and feel that although I am primary trained, I have the skills, knowledge and ability needed to help those taking both KS3 exams and GCSE's.

Tutoring Approach:

I am a great believer in making learning meaningful and making sure that the student can relate their learning experiences to their real lives. I have an excellent understanding of the different learning styles (visual, auditory and kinesthetic) and can adapt my teaching to best fit the pupils needs and personal style of learning. I also feel that it is important to use lots of questioning and exploration through speaking and listening in order to make the learning experience more authentic. If children feel involved in their learning and can take ownership of it, they are more likely to succeed.

Qualifications:

• PGCE Primary Education KS1 and 2
• BA Hons Education Studies and Psychology
