Information About Andrea:

Personal Description:

I have just graduated with a first class honours degree in education from St Mary's University Belfast, specialising in business studies, geography and learning for life and work. I also hold a degree in psychology from Queens University Belfast.
I am a very understanding teacher and put the learner at the heart of the learning process. I employ active teaching strategies and produce and deliver innovative, stimulating and suitable teaching strategies. I have been trained in and utilise assessment for learning strategies.
I was recently awarded a High Achievement Cup for my success in St Mary's.

Teaching Experience:

I have completed four years training at St Mary's and have been very successful in all four schools I have been placed in. I have taught key stage three and four and assisted in the teaching of A-Levels. I have also been assessed by a chief education examiner from Queens who gave me an excellent report on my teaching capabilities.
I specialise in Business Studies and psychology to University level, learning for life and work up to GCSE and geography to key stage three.
I also have training in special educational needs and gained the highest grade in my education dissertation on dyslexia.
In 2008-2009 I worked in Assumption Grammar school teaching AS and A2 psychology. This year I was appointed a position in St Mary's CBGS where I am currently teaching AS psychology.

Tutoring Approach:

I will assess the student's level of ability generally and within the subject itself. I will then devise a scheme of work to move the student forward and help them achieve their own personal and academic goals with regular and suitable assessment. I will take a holistic approach to the pupil's development and aspire to increase their overall self-esteem and self-belief.
I enjoy interacting with students of all abilities and ages and I will use the student's strengths and interests to mean learning successful, relevant and meaningful. I work work in full co-operation with the pupil and their parents and keep everyone updated. All success will be recognised and celebrated and areas of concern will be dealt with efficiently and effectively.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor Of Science in Psychology. 2:2
• Bachelor of Education. 1
