Christine

I am currently a Year 6 primary teacher working part-time. I love my job and I have always had a strong desire to enable all children to reach their potential. I am caring, patient and well organised. I studied Mathematics at Newcastle University and graduated with a 2:1 degree and as a result I am extremely passionate about making maths more accessible by simplifying concepts and helping each student to master the basics so they have a confident base on which to improve on learning and progress. Throughout my time as a teacher I have enjoyed teaching a wide range of children with different needs, interests and abilities and understand what it takes to make the difference.

Availability: Monday or Tuesday anytime. I can be flexible with other days.

Willing to travel: 8 miles

Experience: I have 13 years of teaching experience across all year groups in primary, most recently in upper key stage 2 where I have organised and delivered successful 1:1 interventions and small group work. Some of these intervention groups have been linked to SATS and my last group were all successful in passing those tests. In previous years I have tutored several Year 6 children outside of my teaching job and they were all successful in their SATS with two of these students carrying on their tutoring into their first year at secondary school. This was to continue boosting their confidence within maths which they both said was invaluable.
