Suyi - Leicester tutor






Information About Suyi:


Personal Description:

I am currently doing a teacher training course - PGCE in Mathematics - which means I will be qualified maths teacher by June 2015.



Teaching Experience:

For the past few years, I have spent most of my free time tutoring maths to primary and secondary school children. From this experience I have gained all the necessary skills and knowledge required to be able to confidently teach children of all ages. Apart from studying and tutoring children, I have also worked at The Great Learning Centre in Leicester where I work with children/young people aged between 9 and 13 in a positive and stimulating learning environment. The Learning Centre provides a happy environment for children to learn and we tackle behaviour issues with a calm relaxed attitude so that children soon realise that it is different to learning in the classroom. Also, the emphasis on encouraging the children to choose to learn, rather than being forced, changes their attitude to studying. For example, by identifying what type of learner they are (kinaesthetic, visual or auditory) it helps children to understand why they enjoy certain lessons more than others. From this experience, I have expanded my knowledge on the different types of learners and how to tailor lessons to meet the child's needs and ability.



Tutoring Approach:

My lessons are well structured and also taught in a way that suits the individuals needs. In the first lesson, I observe and test the individuals mathematical ability and so I can tailor my way of teaching in a way that the individual gets most out of the lesson. I use different styles of teaching for every individual, afterall we are all different and all learn in a different way. From my degree, I have learnt that there are many aspects of teaching and I intend to use my knowledge to the best of my ability.
