Tutoring Experience

I have worked as a teaching practitioner at 5 Outstanding/ Good schools in west London.
Students I have tutored have moved up grades substantially; one pupil moved up 3 grades in a year for her GCSE. This had surpassed expectations of the school teachers and parents.
As a Numeracy Coordinator, I line managed teaching assistants and taught all Key Stages. I was accountable for intervention classes and designing engaging schemes of learning for the Mathematics department. Scrutinised data to analyse and assess progress and collect data, highlighted underachieving pupils as well as higher ability pupils and implemented provisions to challenge pupils to their full potential. Bespoke targets/ feedback given to all pupils.

During my last observation, conducted by the Deputy Head Teacher and Head Teacher, the following strengths were observed: “careful planning to ensure all students have secure understanding at each point before progressing, challenge embedded in all tasks, very effective questioning to elicit and address any misconceptions, high standards of behaviour and quality of work which all students respond positively, very strong relationship and strong work ethic across the class.”

Responsible for assisting in the educational and social development of pupils. Organised intervention classes bespoke to the strengths and needs of students during lessons. Responsible for designing Schemes of Learning targeting and focusing on group learning for all abilities. Held AFL training sessions with PGCE colleagues and staff; mentored the cohort on how to plan lessons effectively, as well as assessing pupil progress. Scrutinised pupil data using 4 Matrix to analyse progress 8 scores and highlighted underachieving pupils. Specialised intervention sessions organised for year 11 tailored to pupil’s needs and delivered exam skills for key classes. Excellent communication skills with parents demonstrated during subject evenings and home reports with bespoke targets/ feedback. Maintained an up to date knowledge of curriculum structure, new teaching methodologies and contributed this to all staff at departmental meetings.

Tutoring Approach

• Make progress so both the child and parents are aware
• Student should be safe, to allow him/her to contribute to the lesson, asking relevant questions and debating the topic with enthusiasm
• Interacting productively with each other
• Allow the pupil to be able to explain what they are doing and why
• Make the child proud of their achievements during the lesson
• Availability on weekdays is after 4pm as I work as a teacher in a West London School
