About
The individual student is at the heart of my planning; I identify misconceptions and facilitate the students’ investigations to discover their own solutions, using a variety of stimulating activities to cater for individual learners.
I like to encourage social practice as this produces discussion, increases ownership, cognitive learning and critical thinking. It can also be fun, which cultivates a positive approach. Students may benefit from sharing lessons with a friend or family member, or may make new maths friends!
Some students will prefer the 1 to 1 lessons and they will be very welcome too.
Sessions will be relaxed and tailored to meet the needs of the learner; we will agree objectives and record targets as they are achieved.
Now in my 5th year and enjoying teaching Maths & English at Cornwall College, I have a Diploma to Teach in the Lifelong Learning Sector (AKA Cert Ed) and a specialist level 5 Diploma in Teaching Mathematics. This gives me a wide range of strategies to deal specifically with difficulties associated with learning maths. I am a member of the IFL (Institute for Learning) and have a current CRB check.
As part of our continuous professional development, teachers are trained in the latest educational breakthroughs, theories and methods, including training for special educational needs, like dyslexia and autism. Our students have a wide range of needs, both physical and emotional, so it is important that we have a variety of effective strategies to enable individual learners to achieve.
