Maria

Hi, Everyone!

I`m Maria, and I`m an experienced, skilled teacher with Qualified Teacher Status who has taught both Primary and Secondary students for more than eight years.

I have taught in Mainstream Schools and Alternative Provisions (APs), including Pupil Referral Units (PRU), and a Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) school. I have extensive experience of teaching classes, creating and delivering exciting lessons, and inspiring students to be the best versions of themselves.

I have an excellent teaching approach underpinned by up-to-date knowledge of pedagogy and a deep passion for all students to love to learn and succeed in life. I have a calm and understanding approach to tutoring, underpinned by years of teaching experience. I have excellent working knowledge of pedagogy, the National Curriculum, entrance examinations, and school policy and procedures.

I work hard to develop students’ confidence and explain concepts in a way that is clear and accessible to them. I create positive relationships with all my students, and teach them the art of working hard to get desired outcomes.

Successes tutoring former students include admission into a range of selective schools, increased performance at school, an increase in students’ reading and writing ages, and greater confidence at school for those students with SEN.

I am consistently praised for engaging lessons, excellent use of differentiation, and always having positive relationships with my students. I always put my students first and do my utmost to prepare them for a successful life ahead.

Availability: I am available Monday - Friday, 9 am - 7 pm.

I look forward to receiving a message from you soon!

Experience: I have more than eight years’ teaching experience, working with both Primary and Secondary students, and more than ten years’ experience working in the education field. I have worked in several schools, from large academies to small, one form entry schools, and from PRUs to SEMH schools.

I have worked as an In-person and Online Tutor for more than five years, too. I have tutored students from EYFS to KS4, and I have a wealth of experience tailoring the Curriculum to meet students’ individual needs.

I have extensive experience supporting students with a range of SEN needs, including ASD, ADHD, and Dyslexia, and I work well with parents and carers to create the best outcomes for all students.

I have supported students of all ages on a 1:1 basis, understanding their personal needs and creating bespoke schemes that are accessible, fun, engaging and challenging for them. I have helped students close vital gaps in their learning, gain confidence in themselves, and pass entrance examinations get into their desired selective school.

Before becoming a teacher, I worked as a Teaching Assistant, both in mainstream and special educational needs settings. I worked extensively as a 1:1 Teaching Assistant who helped pupils with ASD and behavioural difficulties access learning.
