I have always enjoyed teaching and have loved the last 3 years in my school. I would really like to maintain my curriculum knowledge and teaching skills whilst I work in another sector and tutoring is an excellent way of doing this.

I now work in the innovation unit in TeachFirst for a company called ImpactEd - I am the school partnership manager.

I trained through TeachFirst and have taught for 3 years in a challenging Inner London school. I was awarded Outstanding in every teaching standard and was promoted in my second year to a role which demonstrated my excellent teaching skills. Alongside this my subject and curriculum knowledge is shown in my consistently excellent GCSE results. I really enjoyed teaching and was absolutely committed to my pupils success. I ran regular tutoring sessions for my year 11 and 12 students throughout the last 3 years outside of school hours so am experienced in 1:1 tutoring. This has meant my subject and curriculum knowledge is very strong and is demonstrated by my consistently excellent GCSE results. However, I am now working within the third sector in education so am available throughout the week whilst I apply to jobs.

Availability: My hours are flexible - I can dictate my own working hours every day and I can also work from home. This means I can fit in tutoring around your schedule.

Willing to travel: 15 miles

Experience: I trained through TeachFirst after graduating from Newcastle University in 2015 as a Secondary School Science Teacher – Lilian Baylis Technology School, London.
TeachFirst is a highly competitive scheme where participants teach in a school with high levels of deprivation after only six weeks training. I was awarded ‘Outstanding’ against all 8 teaching standards and passed my PGCE at distinction level. I have further developed the ability to:
• Communicate strongly; assert my authority, work in a team.
• Support those in need and deliver action based targets to all my pupils to ensure their academic and personal achievements.
• Meticulously organise my time and meet deadlines in a high pressured environment.
