Jenny

I am a friendly and approachable primary school teacher, with over two years` experience teaching in KS2 (years 4-6) and over four years` experience in 1:1 tutoring. During my time teaching I have excelled in explaining ideas simply and clearly, trying different methods of explanation if children are taking longer to understand the concepts.

I have a maths degree from the University of Cambridge, so my subject knowledge in this area is particularly strong. I use a mastery-based approach for teaching maths, making sure that children are gaining a deep understanding of each area of maths. My work for the [contact detail removed] maths website means that I am familiar with a wide variety of different problem-solving activities for children, and I know how much support to provide to allow children to solve these problems successfully. I firmly believe that all children can succeed as mathematicians, and that maths can be a very fun and rewarding subject for all.

I completed my PGCE in 2014, so during my PGCE I studied different areas of the new curriculum. Because of this, I am very confident with areas such as Year 6 grammar, and have successfully taught grammar, vocabulary and punctuation to a Year 6 class with good results.
