Information About David:
Personal Description:
I am an experienced, energetic, amiable and fully accredited teacher and tutor. I have taught English and drama in schools both in England and abroad for 9 years. I have recently moved back to England from the Dominican Republic and will be starting teaching in the UK in September.
I will also begin studying towards a Masters in Educational Leadership and look forward to getting back to "hitting the books!"
I have a huge interest in Sport, Theatre and Music, and still play football regularly. I am married with 3 lovely children.
Teaching Experience:
I have successfully taught English (up to GCSE level) and Drama (up to A Level) in a number of schools in the UK, including Maryhill High School in Stoke-on-Trent and Abbotsholme Independent School in Uttoxeter. I have also taught internationally, holding posts in Guatemala and the Dominican Republic at US accredited schools. This experience has given me a unique insight into international teaching and has enabled me to take the best that the US model of teaching has to offer. I have been a Department Head since 2007. I am also an examination marker and moderator for EDEXCEL in English and Drama.
In my 9 years of teaching, I have worked with students as young as two, all the way up to mature students at college. I have always achieved excellent results
Tutoring Approach:
I am extremely friendly, good natured and patient, but I also have extremely high standards when it comes behaviour. I believe in mutual respect and positive reinforcement. I love my job and have high energy levels, no matter what time of day it is!
Working 1-on-1 gives a teacher the option to tailor the learning to each individual student, and this is what I set out to do. I aim to find the learning strengths of each tutee and adapt my teaching accordingly.
