Tristan

I am currently employed by North London Collegiate, one of the highest performing independent girls school`s in the United Kingdom. Prior to that I was employed by a state secondary school. Having both independent and state school experience has put my in good stead to have a broad understanding of the curriculum and student`s learning needs.

My time at North London Collegiate has reinforced my teaching and learning ethos and the value of striving for academic excellence and creating a classroom environment which facilitates this learning. It is this ethos which sits at the heart of my teaching.

Prior to teaching I have ten years work experience in the non-teaching sector.

Availability: Generally available on the weekend.

Willing to travel: 10 miles

Experience: I have experience working in independent and state schools. In terms of work experience outside of teaching, I have ten years work experience prior to entering the teaching profession. I have worked on many sustainable transport projects which directly link to the Geography curriculum. I draw upon this life experience in my teaching as it makes Geography come ‘alive’ for students and enhances their learning. Many of these examples come from my work at Transport for London. By comparison I draw upon international examples from working and living in New Zealand. I can easily draw upon examples from New Zealand when teaching Hazards, for example, or transport examples from my work in New Zealand.
