I am currently working as a full time primary school in Wallasey where I naturally foster an excellent rapport with the pupils in class because I convey a sincere interest for them as individuals and I maintain my concern for their wellbeing at all times. I believe that truly effective teachers should educate hearts as well as minds; this allows for students to possess the confidence, resilience and respect they require to succeed academically and spiritually.
Benjamin Franklin once cited ‘Tell me and I forget, teach me and I remember, involve me and I learn.’ This is an educational philosophy that I endeavour to abide to and as a result I have experience of creating and resourcing interactive and independent learning areas that are both purposeful and engaging.
I have a strong ability to differentiate levels of support and challenge, I emphasise effective questioning, promote visual links to concepts and encourage the use of accurate vocabulary during discussion.
I am a focused individual who perpetuates personal, ethical and academic ambition within the students and parents that I work with whilst also being modestly grounded through respect, integrity and compassion.
