Jarrod

I am a qualified secondary teacher currently teaching English, Media Studies & Communication and Culture Studies. I have a wealth of experience at secondary level, having taught for 7 years, alongside pastoral duties as Head of Year for the majority of this. Being subject lead, I have a record of being successful in helping my students achieve their goals across all three subjects. I have taught students across all stages KS3 (Years 7-9), KS4 (GCSE) & KS5 (A-Level).

Being head of year 8, I oversee the transition of our youngest students into secondary education, ensuring that they are supported every step of the way, including their overall well-being and educational needs.

My passion for teaching stems from my own experiences at school and realising the varying, complex needs within my students, helping them to unlock and utilise their potential. Combined with the motivation from my students, the ongoing success is down to my being patient, strong ability to focus on the particular needs of my students and the commitment to help them succeed.

My approach includes:

- Clear, understandable model answers for possible exam questions
- COnfidence in working with SEN students
- Resources and strategies tailored to the student
- Step-by-step coaching, including exam techniques & answering essay questions
- Short, regular checking of knowledge to encourage feedback and transparency for the student on their progression
- Links to real life wherever possible, to enable the student to fully understand the content

Teaching is about making the content engaging, fun and accessible for all, so students can really get to grips with what they are learning. My students favour my relaxed, yet encouraging and supportive teaching style above all, leading to this succession of achievements.

Feel free to contact me should you have any questions.
