I am a tenacious, fun loving and laid back mathematics teacher among members of staff. When I teach students I display high levels of intellect, a conscientious manner, a good sense of humour and give rewards not only sanctions. I enjoy using a diverse range of methods when I teach such as game based teaching, collaborative lessons, investigative approaches, connectionist teaching and topic based teaching whereby I relate maths to the everyday lives of students‘.

In addition, my teaching style encourages student participation and discussion. It is a mixture of facilitative teaching and instructor led lessons. It aims to ensure that each student is stretched to their limits and hence incorporates differentiation. To diversify my teaching, I encourage peer learning whereby students who have understood an idea in maths, teach their understanding of maths to those who are struggling to understand. When it comes to marking work, I get students to mark their own work as well as regularly marking their work myself and giving written feedback.

This is my belief about mathematics: “mathematics is the most beautiful subject in education and life: it is artistic, scientific and the language of the sciences. It is discovered, adapted and open to invention. Mathematics is profitable to the person who understands it well. It is a waterfall of knowledge: one never tires of washing themselves with mathematics“ (Timothy, 2018).

من أنا؟
I would like to work as a Maths Tutor because I have 11 years teaching experience which has helped me develop into a passionate, diligent, and rounded professional. I have successfully completed a Post Compulsory Professional Graduate Certificate of Education in Mathematics with Numeracy from University College London (UCL). The certificate is equivalent to a Level 7 Masters Teaching degree and is from the world leading university for education.

I have an excellent track record educating pupils of different ages and abilities in mathematics within pressurised academic settings. My teaching expertise is both diverse and widespread and encompasses learning support, lesson planning, skill development, student relations, assessments, inspections, regulatory standards, child behaviour management and much more. I am a highly committed and creative mentor who uses modern and innovative teaching methods to successfully teach students of different ages and with different abilities. Methods include the use of investigative approaches to learning, games-based learning, collaborative learning, interactive lessons and encouraging student discussion as well as using topic-based teaching, whereby I link maths topics to the everyday lives of students. These methods to teaching help to make learning maths fun and enjoyable and have proven to bring about significant academic improvement compared to only using “old school” methods of teaching.

To conclude, I am an accomplished communicator with the natural ability to help and motivate pupils to improve results and succeed in exceeding their expectations for themselves. Dynamic, proactive, and highly driven, I am looking for a role that allows me to continue my career development as a maths teacher.

INTERESTS AND ACHIEVEMENTS

Competitions: I entered and progressed to the final of the UCL Business Game 2017 and the semifinal of the UCL Summer AdVenture Programme (2017).
CPD: I have attended and successfully completed the 2017 NANAMIC CPD conference and the UCL Advanced Mathematics Teaching in Early Career course. Passing this course means that I am capable of teaching A A-level mathematics. In 2022 I successfully completed the Money Saving’s Expert Academy of Money course from the Open University. The course looks at topics related to personal finance such as budgeting and taxation, saving and investing and planning for retirement.
Reading: I enjoy reading a variety of books including those related to the education system, self-development, philosophy, religion, mental and physical health and finance. I have read many of the journal magazines from the Society for Education and Training (SET), Intuition. The journal magazines focus on new developments in FE Colleges as well as different ways of improving the teaching of post 16 learners. The focus being Maths and English using the latest research.
Sport: I play basketball 3-4 hours a week to keep fit
