Rachel

I am a qualified Primary School Teacher, dedicated to improving students' self-esteem and confidence within what is fast becoming a highly challenging primary curriculum. I am a B.Sc. (Hons.) Graduate from The University of Birmingham and have worked in the Education sector for over ten years.

Tutoring Experience

I have taught all year groups within the Primary age range (Foundation Stage to Year 6) and have been named as a lead practitioner in pace and engagement of delivery. As a primary teacher my subject knowledge across the curriculum is very good and I am strongly aware of the content demands of the current curriculum.

Tutoring Approach

Learning is about providing oneself with an arsenal of tools to handle problems you don't know how to solve. I strongly emphasise conceptual understanding as opposed to giving lists of instructions. My ethos is about building confidence and understanding of the foundations of a subject, ensuring that students have an increased depth of knowledge within an area of learning. I believe strongly that a good understanding of these concepts will stand a student in excellent stead for tackling any problem that lies ahead of them with confidence.
