Information about Deborah

My name is Deborah. I am an experienced teacher with a Post Graduate Certificate in Education qualification from University College London, IOE (Institute of Education). I have 6 years of teaching experience in chemistry, biology and physics at GCSE level. I have planned and delivered well structured lesson to students from age 11 to 16. I have developed carefully sequenced schemes of learning from the AQA, OCR, and Edexcel specification. Couple to this, I have also planned and delivered lesson from Activate 1 and 2 (Key stage 3 Curriculum) to optimise students learning experience in science.

My teaching style enables students to develop a sense of independence and confidence as learners of science. It also creates a space for curiosity and a deeper understanding of the world around them. My lessons are specifically designed to inspire and motivate young people from all backgrounds irrespective of their history in education. I have worked with students who lack confidence in their ability but through incremental coaching, careful planning and hard work, these students have made significant improvement in their grades. On average, my student are able to improve their grades by average of 2-3 grades in as little as 6 months. I use a range of evidence based teaching strategies like modelling, dual coding, retrieval practices, along with a carefully designed lesson plan based on the unique needs of your child. I am also very passionate about embedding positive self talk techniques such as positive affirmations, goal setting to gently guide and foster growth mindsets. I strongly believe in building self efficacy of young people so they believe they can achieve anything. This has helped my students gain resilience and as a results have improved their grades in science.

My lessons are planned with a focus on addressing common misconceptions to help students understand abstract concepts in science that can easily be misinterpreted. I also emphasise the use of literacy in science to enhance students written and speaking skills in order to prepare students for the world beyond school.

I look forward to working with you and your child to bring about a positive learning experience.

Deborah

Deborah is an amazing tutor. She was very engaging and my daughter gained confidence after the first lesson with her. She was so organised and the lessons were very well planned. She was very supportive and after a few months of tutoring, my daughter went four grades up from her mocks to achieve a GCSE grade 8. I strongly recommend Deborah as a tutor.

Tutors Response :
