Primary teacher with TEFL and CELTA qualifications

I have 12 years of teaching experience as a classroom teacher in the UK, in nursery and primary schools in France and Spain, and as a private tutor both in the UK and abroad. I have a PGCE in primary education and TEFL qualifications and I now work exclusively as a private tutor in York offering maths, English, and Spanish tuition to schooled and home-educated pupils. I also tutor for the 11+ entrance exams and in preparation for the KS2 SATS. I have experience in teaching all age groups from early primary to adults, of planning lessons, and carrying out assessments. I know how to encourage all students to achieve their full potential and believe that appropriate challenge and encouraging an enjoyment of learning is the key towards achieving success. During the first session, I discuss the needs of the child and we set out a scheme of lessons to help them achieve their goals and objectives. I can provide homework to be completed outside of the sessions and will mark and give feedback on this as well. I have a positive outlook and aim to develop a good rapport with all pupils and create a cooperative and calm atmosphere. I strive to deliver exciting and engaging lessons using familiar, real-life experiences, fun games, and tailored resources using a variety of teaching methods best-suited to each child. I am patient and flexible with my time, and I am willing to persevere in order to ensure that all students have fun whilst succeeding in reaching their goals.
