Information About Claire:

Personal Description:

Hello, My name is Claire Woodhead. I'm currently in my third year at John Moores University in Liverpool studying to become a Primary School teacher. My main subjects are maths and English at primary level but I am also a keen art enthusiast and pursued this at school completing my A level in Fine art.

For the past three months I have been working in Austria as an Au pair living with a family of four children. This gave me the opportunity to greatly improve my German and also work closely with children.

Teaching Experience:

Studying on a teaching degree, I have so far completed two teaching placements. This I feel counts towards my formal teaching experience. My informal teaching experiences also include my work with a local cub scout group and also teaching the children in my Au pair job simple English.

Tutoring Approach:

I have a relaxed approach to learning. I feel that the child needs to feel secure and safe in the place they are learning. They also have to want to learn, therefore especially with younger children, tutoring would encompass games and activities that involved kinesthetic processes as well as visual and auditory learning. An example of this would be to act out a paragraph from a text using props and expression, allowing the child to become involved in the text aiding their understanding.

Teaching german to a higher level, I would still encompass the kineasthetic learning approach using language cue cards and role play to aid grammar understanding. The use of music can also aid learning in this situation, reading and learning from text and paragraphs in german that are of relevance to the student can also greatly aid development and support the work the child does at school.
