As a passionate teacher, dedicated to ensuring the very best outcomes for all students I teach, this statement resonates with me as I endeavour to awaken joy in all of the learners within my classroom and those whom I tutor.

Throughout my practice, I constantly encourage pupils to participate and contribute in an atmosphere highly conducive to learning. I have consistently set high expectations of pupils in different training contexts. There are high levels of mutual respect between me and pupils. I am very effective in promoting learners’ resilience, confidence and independence when tackling challenging activities.
I have also assumed a high level of responsibility for the attainment progress and outcomes of the pupils I have taught. I have demonstrated confident judgement in planning for pupil progression both within individual lessons and over time and I am able to articulate a clear and well-justified rationale as to how I am building on prior achievement. Within my lessons, I seek to actively promote engaging and effective methods that support pupils in reflecting on their learning. I have demonstrated that I am able to set appropriately challenging tasks, drawing on a sound knowledge of the pupils’ prior attainment, which has been obtained through systematic and accurate assessment. I regularly create opportunities for independent and autonomous learning. As a result the majority of pupils make very good progress. I am astutely aware of my own development needs in relation to extending and updating my subject, curriculum and pedagogical knowledge in my career and have been proactive in developing these effectively during my teaching years. I always model very high standards of written and spoken communication in all professional activities. I also successfully identify and exploit opportunities to develop learners’ skills, in communication, reading and writing.

Experience: My experience working with children- as well as my comprehensive higher-level degree in education social science—gives me confidence in my ability to teach students outside of the school setting. My background in studying education and social science has provided me with the foundational knowledge to understand the different needs and abilities of children. My ability to connect with students and to establish trusting relationships, prepares me to thrive in tutoring well.

In all the schools I have worked in; whenever there was an issue regarding child safety, I was able to contact the relevant authorities to ensure we were following the right protocols in maintaining a safe environment. I believe that it is my personal obligation to keep up to date with the UK law and policy changes that impact schools. I have been fortunate enough to gain 6 years of teaching experience in schools across key stage 1 and 2, both in private and state school settings. In the middle of my teaching years I took a career break to have my two children.

Over the years of working in schools I have learnt that I am very enthusiastic and passionate about education. This has only grown over time; and I am more determined now than ever to make a difference in more young children’s lives.

With my previous experience and education, complemented by my dedication to support children, I believe I will excel at tutoring and helping children grow.
