Bernadette

I have been a qualified teacher for twelve years with experience in EYFS, KS1 and KS2. I have been a private tutor for ten years. I have taken part in three Ofsted inspections in 2019 and 2021 where both were rated as 'Outstanding' and a 'Good' in 2018.

I receive most of my tutoring work through word of mouth recommendations outside of First Tutors so additional reviews can be made by request.

I am passionate about educating young children and assisting them through their learning in any way I can. With the ever growing expectations within the new curriculum I understand the pressures that primary school children endure.

It is my job to ensure that these children have the confidence and skill to meet these expectations.

I have experience preparing a number of children for their KS1/KS2 SATs and entrance exams including Belvedere and Blue Coat. I offer tuition covering the KS3/GCSE English secondary curriculum and have done successfully for five years. I also offer tuition and exam technique for the QTS* computerised Skills tests at University level. My previous students have passed their Skills test first time.

My online tuition sessions take place on G-Classroom.

Tutoring Experience

I am currently working in Key Stage Two working with children both individually and in small groups through numerous interventions.
I work closely and can effectively plan for children with EAL and I deliver the WellComm scheme.
I have a good knowledge of the IDL, Nessy and Toe by Toe scheme which assists children with dyslexia.
I have a wide range of experience working with SEN children and assessing against PIVATs for those children working under age related expectations also focusing on Precision Teaching.
I have worked with children who are affected by Autism on all levels. I have worked closely with MAST and SENISS Liverpool.
I have a experience teaching Read Write Inc across all year groups and with outstanding teaching and results in 2018. We were recognised as a model school for training other teachers across the country.
