Conor

My name is Conor, I am 29 years old and from Coventry, UK. I have been a teacher for a number of years now and currently live in the south of Spain as an English teacher. I am here to enjoy living in a country with a warm climate, excellent food and enigmatic culture, whilst also learning the language and immersing myself within its culture.

Tutoring Experience

I spent 3+ years working in an outstanding secondary school in inner-city London. Here I gained QTS through the Ark Teacher Training program, training in teaching maths. I also gained experience working as an SEN teacher, teaching students with a range of special education needs and leading the delivery of a entry-level science curriculum.

Tutoring Approach

My priority as an educator is to support and motivate my students to enjoy and feel comfortable on their learning journey. To do this, I mould the material I teach and how i deliver it to suit the individual learner, at their current level and to them as a person.

Academically, I put much more weight upon a students demonstration of understanding around skills, processes and problem solving than an ability to provide a correct answer to a question or problem. To do this, I regularity check for understanding using probing questions or asking students to explain the answer they have given. This approach is taken with the aim of developing a students wider subject understanding and fluency as well as their proficiency in answering content based questions.
