Experience: I worked with Maths Doctor between 2011 and 2017 providing on-line tuition in Mathematics at primary and secondary levels as part of a busy team. This has led to setting up my own business for student demand. I have experience of providing support for 11+, foundation GCSE (including iGCSE, EdExcel and AQA exam boards mainly at foundation level) and SATs examinations (Key Stages 1, 2 and 3). The position has involved assisting gifted and talented, Special Educational Needs and Disabled students and low ability pupils.

Before this I was employed for 3 years in a local primary school helping mixed ability pupils learn to read through phonics, spelling and comprehension and kinesthetic learning.  I also taught Numeracy in group and one-on-one sessions.  This involved becoming knowledgeable of various learning programmes and thinking creatively to meet students needs. During this time I also tutored students privately offering home tuition.

Between June and July 2010, I participated in a Student Associate Scheme assisting and supporting art and technology teachers in a local high school. I have led an Aim Higher session encouraging Key Stage 4 pupils to develop professionally by going to University and to continue to aspire.

2007-2009 as a Student Leader for a Young People`s University, I instructed Key Stage 4 pupils, at an Academy, in art activities to maintain an ASDAN award. I also worked within a team environment providing assistance to other team leader sessions. Through Key Stage 3 summer schools I have directed art activities (including "Team T-shirts" and "What is Art?"), additionally supporting students discover the right course. I have also demonstrated and taught jewellery making to 150 pupils in the past.

More recently, for a very short time I worked with The Independent Art School offering Art History lessons on-line. I was self-employed tutoring in conjunction with Think Tuition (also known as Credo) and supported students through Super Tutors. I also worked as a supply teaching assistant with PK Education and Protocol.

I currently work as a Special Needs Teacher with Qualified Teaching Status (QTS) in a SEN School teaching Primary National Curriculum. I am currently working towards my Early Career Teacher (ECT). In 2023, I completed a Level 3 Award in Supporting Individuals with Learning Disabilities and a Level 5 Teacher`s Apprenticeship. In 2022, I completed a Level 5 Diploma in Education and Training and in 2021 a qualification in the National Tutoring Programme. In 2020, I gained a Level 3 Teaching Assistant Award.

As well as teaching in my spare time I tutor. I feel my SEND experiences and love for creative learning, supporting established schooling in new, innovative ways will hopefully offer students a renewed love for education.
