Alex

My name is Alexandra, I am a qualified primary school teacher living and working in Essex. I am a confident hard working individual who enjoys working with children in order to help them to reach their full academic potential. I take pride in my work and aim to help children to have a similar attitude and develop the confidence to tackle any difficulties they may face.

Availability: I am currently available weekdays, weekday evenings and Saturdays. Also during half terms and school holidays.

Willing to travel: 8 miles

Experience: I am currently in my fifth year of teaching. I completed a BA Hons Degree in initial teacher training at university. Through hard work and percerverence I achieved a first class degree. I have had experience working with children from the ages of 4-11. I am currently teaching year 1 and I specialise in KS1. My aim is to ensure that the children I tutor become more confident individuals who feel that they are able to give anything a go! I usually begin by completing an initial assessment of the child to grasp an idea as to what they are confident in and which areas of learning need further development. My focus is upon the new National Curriculum levels and objectives. When tutoring older children (KS2), I think that it is important for the children to take more ownership over their learning. I therefore ask the children if there are any areas of learning they feel particularly confident in at school or any which they feel may need further work or development.
