Information About Gareth:

Personal Description:

I am 43 years old and have not always been a teacher, having worked as a driver with the social services , a meat inspector, pupeteer, clerk and a giant Koala bear (Its a long story!) I like to think this gives me a wide range of experiance to draw upon when teaching. I have wide range of interests outside of school including climbing ,kayaking,looking after a range of animals including horses and ducks, and involvement in various historical interests including historical re enactment and giving talks to various groups.

Teaching Experience:

I have been a Primary School Teacher for ten years working in both Key stage 1 and Key stage 2. I also work as an Adult education Tutor, teaching archaeology GCSE . I have been working as a personal tutor since 2003 working with both Primary age children, GCSE students and children with Special needs.

Tutoring Approach:

I believe it is important to establish a love of learning in order to facilitate a receptive pupil. Therefore I approach each student as an individual and use a variety of multi sensory tools aimed to estabish the student easy access to learning whilst also establishing that study for study's sake can be fufilling and fun. I hope to bring to each student that magical moment when it all makes perfect sense and to help them find the tools within themselves to make those moments part of their own life's learning experience.

Qualifications:

• BA (Hons) History 2.1
• PGCE
