Shannon

I am an experienced Science teacher at a prestigious non-selective secondary School in Southwark (receiving GCSE science 100% grades 9-7 and A-Level Chemistry 94% grades A*- C). I specialise in teaching A-Level Chemistry, GCSE Science and KS3 Science.

My passion for teaching lies within seeing students progress in their studies and achieving their goals. I practice giving tailor-made feedback to all my students and build confidence through knowledge. Building self-awareness for each individual`s capabilities. Allowing students to realise their potential as well as building character allows me to make a difference in and out of the classroom.

It is a priority for students to understand the importance of keeping calm under pressure. I teach exam techniques and help students to gain a deep understanding of content, building confidence and resilience. I have had previous experience tutoring GCSE students seeing results going up from a grade 2 (D/E) to a grade 7 (A/B) by the end of the student`s studies. Using my personal pre-planned lessons, past exam papers, schemes of work and revision booklets I was able to push students to realise their ability.

Good teachers aim to bring out the best in students, I aim to bring out the best in all. I tailor my lessons to match the needs of all my students; beginning my sessions with a short assessment and then adapting my lessons accordingly. Throughout my career I have had extensive training on specific help for kids with special educational needs (Dyslexia, ASD, ADHD, PTSD and more). I create schemes of work that make lessons accessible and challenge children that are higher attaining. I add challenge into learning by teaching problem solving skills as well as relating lessons to the wider world beyond science.
