I am a primary school teacher with many years of experience especially in KS1. Being a KS1 LA Moderator and a Year 2 teacher for many years, I have plenty of experience achieving high results with the SATs and phonic assessments. I have a passion for teaching Maths as well as a Maths Specialism attached to my degree and have previously helped lead Maths in my school. I am currently a Science Lead and enjoy making Science lessons exciting. I am happy to teach any primary subject especially Maths and English. I believe in making English lessons purposeful and often have a cross-curricular approaches to my lessons.

I am available for the entire of the summer holidays and willing to support and help bridge any gaps that may have been caused due to remote learning. I will be returning to teach full time in September and will discuss options closer to the time.

My approach to teaching primary maths is rooted in the mastery framework, which emphasizes deep, long-term understanding rather than just surface-level memorization. This method is essential as it builds a solid foundation, allowing students to grasp concepts thoroughly and apply them confidently. I place significant importance on the use of manipulatives, as they offer hands-on experiences that make abstract ideas more concrete. By engaging students actively, manipulatives enhance both understanding and enjoyment, fostering a more meaningful and lasting connection with mathematical concepts.

I use the Ruth Miskin phonics scheme in my teaching, which provides a structured, systematic approach to developing reading and writing skills. This method emphasizes the clear progression of sounds, blending, and decoding, helping children build confidence and fluency. By following this scheme, I ensure that students grasp phonics in a fun, engaging way, laying a strong foundation for their literacy development.

With extensive experience across subjects like maths, phonics, writing, and teaching English as an additional language, I bring both expertise and a genuine passion for helping students succeed. My approachable nature ensures that students feel comfortable asking questions and seeking support, while my enthusiasm for teaching fosters a positive and engaging learning environment. I tailor my methods to each student's needs, making sure they build confidence and mastery in whichever subject they're tackling, and I'm committed to helping them achieve their full potential.
