Michael - Glasgow tutor






Information About Michael:


Personal Description:

Hello,
I am a 25 year old man from Northern Ireland. I studied at The University of Edinburgh and was awarded a First Class in Biological Sciences (Hons) Plant Science in 2006. In the following year I studied for my PGCE (Post Graduate Certificate in Education) at the University of Newcastle Upon Tyne. Before moving to Glasgow in September, for to personal reasons, I taught in a Secondary School in South Shields.

I am currently a supply teacher with East Renfrewshire, North Ayrshire, Inverclyde, North Lanarkshire and East Dumbartonshire Councils.



Teaching Experience:

Fresh from University with 1 years Science teaching experience means that I am familiar and well practiced in modern teaching techniques. I have taught Biology to AdvancedHigher level, Chemistry to standard and Intermediate 2 level and physics to GCSE.

I have an extensive bank of teaching resources and textbooks from teaching Chemistry and Physics to intermediate and Standard level and Biology to Higher and Advanced Higher level.



Tutoring Approach:

I encourage 'Independent Learning' with my students and incorporate 'Thinking Skills' and 'Assessment for learning' in all my lessons.

Through personal evaluation of my own teaching I have found that sharing clear lesson objectives with students benefits long term learning and so these too are incorporated into lessons.

I enjoy teaching learners of all abilities and would create an individual learning plan with every student. Why not get in touch...
