Online motivation and engaging primary school tutor

Hello, my name is Libbi. I am a recent psychology graduate, currently working as a learning support assistant within a primary school. I’m an aspiring class teacher, waiting to complete a PGCE.I have a life long passion for helping students of all ability’s to achieve success. I am a confident, and friendly tutor that can mentor my students and help them with any of their educational needs, whilst increasing their motivation and enthusiasm. My lessons are fun yet effective. They are conducted online, using the online interactive whiteboard. The lessons are aimed at primary level students from EYS to key stage 2. My typical lessons begin with a starter exercise such as quick mental maths questions or simple sums or phonics warm up. I then introduce the topic we will be working on and go through different practice questions. After, I give my student’s opportunity to practice independently and then run through the answers together. The lesson would usually end in a summary and at home practice questions will be explained. My teaching style is a balance between interactive-engaging and calm-focused . I love my students to get involved and work together to make learning fun. I’m a true believer of positive reinforcement so it’s important that my students feel safe and enjoy doing what we are learning about. Whilst making the subject enjoyable, I always remain professional and the lesson will always been focused. There is always a balance between a fun introduction of the topic and a calm space where students work independently to complete work.
