Tracey

I have qualified teacher status and am registered with the government`s teaching agency, having graduated with a Bachelor of Education over twenty years ago. I have extensive teaching experience within primary and secondary schools both at home and abroad. Because I have worked in Early Years and KS1 a great deal I have a lot of knowledge of phonics, including the different programmes taught in schools, such as Jolly Phonics, Letters and Sounds and Read Write Inc. I am fully converse with the National Curriculum and have previously tutored up to GCSE level. In addition, as a supply teacher I have worked in secondary schools and have a thorough understanding of the needs of the young people I teach. I have worked extensively with children who have struggled at school for a number of reasons, including not speaking English as a primary language . Having qualified teacher status means that I have been trained specifically to teach children and young people although, since graduating, I have gone on to update my skills and am now qualified to teach Basic Skills (literacy and numeracy). Currently I work as a Supply Teacher in the North East of England and have regular posts in two different schools, I offer private tuition because it allows me to build on a job that I love and allows me that bit more flexibility that I might otherwise not get.

Availability: Weekdays and evenings,

Please note, owing to an accident in 2021 I am unable to travel to students` homes, due to limited mobility. I currently teach online or face-to-face to students who are happy to travel to me.

Willing to travel: 8 miles

Experience: I have previouslyy worked within schools as a EYFS, KS1 and KS2 teacher and have also got 18 years experience as a Private Tutor. Currently I am working as a Supply teacher in the North East and have regular teaching posts. I have extensive knowledge of year 6 SATS and do a lot of intervention work in mainstream schools with those children who are struggling. Additionally I have developed Basic Skills programmes for disaffected young people and have taught these on a one to one and group basis.

Furthermore I work a great deal with children who struggle with reading and writing, including children with dyslexia - and have developed resources to assist these children in their learning.
