Information About Gemma:

Personal Description:

I have been teaching in Southampton for 7 years and I thoroughly enjoy my job and am always looking for ways to develop my skills further. I am leader of Literacy and upper school and a large part of my role involves coaching teachers in developing their practice and ensuring we are giving the children in our school the best possible opportunities to learn to their full potential.

I feel that I strive to cater for each individual and do this by establishing how a child learns, what they already know and by carefully planning the next steps needed to take them further. I have a calm, approachable manner but set clear expectations for children and encourage all to do their best. A combination of praise and achieving success through supportive teaching means children can feel positive about their learning.

Teaching Experience:

I have particular expertise in teaching Year 6 children and therefore would be able to successfully tutor children approaching SATs tests or those getting ready for entrance exams. However, I am experienced in teaching years 3 to 5 and when I have been a supply teacher have taught all primary aged children. I have also enjoyed tutoring children of various ages.

Tutoring Approach:

I use my expereince and knowledge of all curriculum subjects to deliver high quality, personalised sessions catering for children's individual needs. I feel it is important to use a range of activities to ensure sessions are engaging and motivating. Time is also used carefully and planned, where possible, in collaberation with class teachers and parents.

Qualifications:

• BA(Ed) - QTS - English Specialism
