Summary
I have three years of classroom experience across 5 different schools from 4 different London boroughs. During this time I have worked with students from a range of ages and ability levels. I have experience from Nursery to Year 6 in mainstream settings, as well as students from the ages of 7 to 18 at a variety of ability levels in a SEND School setting.
I bring an upbeat yet calming approach to teaching that nurtures a fun and controlled learning environment. I plan my lessons with the learner in mind, aiming to maximise engagement and ensure the work is accessible for students of all levels in the classroom.
As I approach the end of my Teacher training I am keen to start my first year as a qualified teacher. I am looking for an environment that will allow me to be the best educator I can be and push myself to give my students the best primary education possible.
