My background

I have over 15 years experience of working in education this has been 10 years working in Primary School and the rest in secondary school and College. At present I am working in a college supporting students mainly in maths GCSE. I know a lot of different techniques to help a student learn and revise maths. I have an ICT in education degree and learnt a lot about teaching practices and how ICT improves education. The course also covered looking at different resources that you can find on the internet and analyzing if they are helpful or not this is why I now want to put my degree to use and help students study with the best resources possible. Maths has always been a love of mine and I would love to pass that onto other students.

Experience

I have worked with many different students that have special educational needs the needs are very varied and this has helped me with being not only to understand why someone is finding things difficult but it enables me to look for a way that they can understand and think of creative ways to ensure they are able to understand. Even though the teacher teaches the main subject I then have to have the knowledge and ability to break that down and teach the students in the classroom. I also have done 1-1 and group sessions where I am leading the teaching.
