Nerissa

Hello, my name is Nerissa

I am a Year 1 Primary school teacher, I currently teach the National Curriculum to children age 5 - 6 years old. I am passionate about teaching and have taught, Reception, Year 1, Year 2, Year 4 and Year 5 classes. I have trained and taught within a variety of schools, including mainstream and independent. I am the Reading Lead for my current school in Read Write Inc Phonics and I have also taught the Letters and Sounds programme.

I create fun, engaging lessons to ensure children find them enjoyable, if children are relaxed it will help build their confidence and feel comfortable asking questions. I have worked closely with children who have a range of Special Educational Needs. I am calm and patient and can quickly build a rapport with children and help them experience success in their learning.

I understand that each child’s learning journey is unique, and I really enjoy helping children see that everything is POSSIBLE and to help them find that learning can be fun.

Please do not hesitate to ask me any questions.

I am fully DBS-checked.

I look forward to hearing from you.
