Steve

I am an enthusiastic teacher with a great knowledge of both key stage 1 & 2, with expertise in Maths, English and Reading. My teaching is adaptable to the needs of the child being tutored, as well as the parental requests and I pride myself on creating a good rapport, promoting growth mindset and resilience. I am patient and will always promote a positive attitude, explaining concepts in a variety of visual or kinaesthetic ways. I work with the parents to develop the working relationship and to ensure that all parties are confident with my teaching and that I give clear and regular feedback.

Availability: Flexible - some day-time availability as well as after school.

Willing to travel: 4 miles

Experience: I have 14 years of teaching experience in multiple infant and junior schools. I spent 6 years in year 6, so am well-versed in the expectations of both Sats and the 11-plus. I have been a year leader in year 6 and a Deputy Head of an infant school. I have not only taught but led both Maths, Literacy and Phonics in a multi-academy trust. I also care passionately about the well-being and mental health of the children I teach and therefore always look to develop the `whole` child. As a former Safeguarding Lead, I place the safety of the children at the top of my list of priorities and communicate effectively at all levels.

DBS Check: Yes
