As previously mentioned I am an experienced teacher with 10 years of experience. Therefore, I know how the national curriculum is structured and how the learning progresses the following year. I know what methods are expected for maths learning and can use concrete or pictorial representations to guide pupils’ understanding. Similarly, I know the grammar devices and literary techniques pupils need to enhance their written work.
I have successfully tutored many pupils for SATs prep as I know what is expected in terms of the outcomes by year 6.
I know how to break learning down into manageable steps to give children the confidence to try a new method or a new writing technique.
I use structured worksheets, textbooks, and visual Singapore Maths. My English sessions are As previously mentioned I am an experienced teacher with 10 years of experience.
