Joanna

I am a highly experienced teacher and tutor at Primary level. I specialise in supporting children who lack confidence or have educational gaps in English and Maths at Primary level.

My teaching was cited in an Ofsted report as an example of outstanding teaching and I was a teacher mentor for trainee teachers. I was also involved in devising strategy for Literacy and English as a Second Language across the school.

As a tutor I have had great success building confidence in subject areas and this has resulted in an increase in attainment at school. I use a variety of different teaching methods and resources to meet the needs of the individual pupil.

I can also prepare students successfully for 11+ examinations and SATS Key Stage 1 and 2. My students have gained places at their chosen schools and reached the required standard at the end of the Key Stages with some students achieving beyond expectations.

I have established a supportive relationship with not only students but also their parents with the aim of promoting and reinforcing a student`s independence and self-esteem. This is evidenced by a number of testimonials I have received from parents.

In the past I have also worked very successfully with Special Educational Needs teams and class teachers in order to help implement action plans for individual students.

I believe that every child has the potential to succeed at their level.
