Information About Erskine:

Personal Description:

I enjoy a variety of social activities. Keeping fit is important to me and I have a passionate interest in racket sports and Indoor Rowing where I have previously held both a British and a World Record/Ranking. I enjoy socialising and get great pleasure from cooking for others whilst sharing my recording interests in music and visual arts like landscape photography for which I have had 70 exhibitions over the last 25 years. Writing is something that I have a strong interest in and I will often read and write about a variety of social and psychological interests. Sometimes, I work as a commercial photographer and a personal trainer and engage as a internet relationship counsellor.

Teaching Experience:

I am a Learning Support Tutor with a Sports and Behavioural Therapy background. Currently working in Further Education and YOP, delivering a variety of educational projects and courses for learners, some with a range of mental health issues or Special Educational Needs in: - Life & Basic Skills, ECDL and General ICT, Digital and Conventional Photography, Health & Fitness, Creative & Positive Thinking.

My educational responsibilities have included local projects which I have undertaken, and have seen a large increase over previous student usage of the E-Learning resources I have created covering a 3yr period. Within these projects, this has produced for those students an average pass mark of 83%, where 96% have achieved at least the National Curriculum Level 1 standard or higher. This reflection is seen within all of my taught subjects over successive academic years. I like to use my educational and psychology skills either on a one to one basis or small group settings to raise the expectations and achievement for all my learners regardless to any Special Educational Needs.

Tutoring Approach:

My background in Sports and Behavioural Therapy coupled with my Continuous Professional Development in Education has helped me develop both managerial skills and experience in working with learners with specific learning difficulties. I support the education of any learner with a language, cultural or specific difficulties in both written and spoken English and provide, flexible and specialist teaching or support within an open learning classroom for designated and assessed learners who may be recognised as a learners with Downs Syndrome, Aspergers Syndrome, ADHD, Dyslexia or Specific Learning Difficulties and Emotional Behavioural Disorders.
