Mark

Hi. I`m Mark, and I was a primary school teacher for 15 years. My roles included: Years 3-6 class teaching, some mainstream SEN teaching and the full range of attainment needs; middle management in curriculum and teaching areas, curriculum design and development and regional leadership in a specific Christian-based curriculum plan - so rest assured I am experienced and able enough to help you and your child/children. My reviews show you that I am professional, positive, supportive and encouraging, that I work quickly to build productive relationships and that great progress is made and sustained. I have also expanded to tutoring by recommendation, so not all experience shows here. Feel free to get in touch to discuss how we can plan tutoring to work best for you.

Additional Information - I offer tutoring for a variety of purposes such as for catch up work, to fill gaps and for some non-specialist SEN issues, but please note - I do not offer tutoring for adults, foreign tuition, specialist SEN or more specialist courses such as 11+ exams or specific school Entrance Exams, I`m sorry.

Availability: Feel free to get in touch to see if any availability suits your needs and requirements.

Willing to travel: 15 miles

Experience: I graduated from Liverpool Hope with a Bachelor of Education degree (with Honours) in History and Primary Teaching. I successfully taught across all KS2 year groups, attainment and mainstream special needs areas and KS2 intervention groups. I successfully held management posts in English and Maths leadership (KS1 and KS2), various curriculum design, implementation, leadership and development projects (Creative Curriculum 2009+, National Curriculum 2014+, KS1 and KS2), and Catch-up Intervention teaching for KS2 (2015+). I was instrumental in establishing, developing and maintaining long-term links between our school and an International School in Barcelona. I also developed and promoted the 2014+ Christian-themed curriculum `What If..?` in school and across the North-West of England.
I have been tutoring since 2019 after leaving teaching, and I have quickly grown to develop many leads by recommendation in addition to online work. This tutoring has covered lower attainment children, supporting non-specialist SEN students and English and Maths tuition.
