Experienced Tutor for AAT Accounting Level 2 and 3

Teaching Experience
I am an enthusiastic, hardworking, and reliable individual, who acquired a PGCE (Maths) with QTS at Sheffield Hallam University. I work in a secondary school teaching Maths to pupils of years 7-11 covering all ability ranges, and have tutored for more than 10 years.
I have gained an understanding of Rosenshine’s principles of Instruction and cognitive load theory. They outline how to scaffold learning by breaking the new information into chunks, then providing worked examples and guided practice to enable learners to follow new concepts without experiencing cognitive overload.
I use scaffolding techniques such as using partially completed examples to focus the pupil’s attention on the specific steps. Creating a positive environment where making mistakes and learning from them and how to persevere are part of the daily routine.
I believe in regular and purposeful retrieval practice of what has previously been taught to help consolidate the material and let pupils remember what they have learned. I aim to build spaced practise as an integral part of my teaching style, to ensure pupils have repeated opportunities to practise, with my appropriate guidance and support.
I explicitly teach metacognitive strategies to learners on how to plan, monitor and evaluate their performance to support independence and academic success. I have the ability to teach a particular concept in a variety of different ways, showing patience while delivering the lesson, actively listening to a pupil’s concerns, and providing my subject knowledge and expertise to make them understand difficult concepts.
I can use different colours, pictures, videos, highlighters to impart information which makes my online classroom interactive and engaging for students, encouraging them to type, draw and annotate, directly responding to learning prompts. This makes learning more memorable for my students.
