A bit about me...

Since becoming a new mummy and being on maternity leave, I have decided to re-start my tutoring services. I offer Piano Lessons & Music Theory, Grades 1-5, Key Stage 1&2 Curriculum Support (any subject), Homework support, SATs preparation, IT Computer Skills Training and Personal, Social, Health development through creative craft activities.
I have been teaching in a variety of primary schools, both in the UK and Internationally (Asia) for 12 years. Over the years I have offered private tuition to support pupils in need. I enjoy both classroom and private one to one, small group teaching. My favourite subjects are Art & Music and I now thoroughly enjoying learning every day with my newborn son. Motherhood is simply amazing!

I grew up on Dartmoor and loved running about in the fields, climbing Tors and collecting stones in rivers. I once caught a trout when fishing which my father sold in his pub as dish of the day! :) I attended Torquay Girls Grammar School, specialising in English, Art and Geography to A level. At the same time completing grades in music for singing, piano, flute and clarinet. I also loved Drama club, cookery and textiles classes. I always knew I wanted to be a teacher, so I completed my Bachelor of Education Degree specialising in English, 4 Years at Plymouth University. In my spare time now as an adult, I enjoy painting and making jewellery or crafts for fun. I have always loved travelling and was fortunate to see many places during my childhood.

Once I had taught in the UK for a few years, I decided to embark on my own travels and teach abroad at the same time. I worked in a British International School in Penang, Malaysia for 3 yrs. I met an extraordinary group of people from all areas of the globe. I had a fantastic time. Whilst out there I visited many other places. My favourites were Thailand, Vietnam, Japan and Cambodia. Key skills and responsibilities I have had during my career on top of classroom teaching so far have been; Literacy & Assessment Co-ordinator, IPC International Primary Curriculum Development, Thinking Skills Trainer, Art Leader, PSHE Personal Social and Health Education leader, pastoral care and lead staff training and parent workshops in Reading, Writing, Maths and Art.
Now I'm a mum! My beautiful son is just 5 months old at the time of posting this blog entry. He changes every day and I am experiencing watching him grow and learn in ways I've never experienced before in teaching.
I adore my job which is why I can't let go of it completely, so whilst I'm taking a break from school at the moment, I am available for tuition support.

Tuition information...
All the lessons I provide are tailored for your specific needs. I offer an assessment and review introduction lesson for every new student without additional charges.
Lessons are sold in blocks of 10 and can be booked as regularly as you wish. The best results are seen if each student has weekly lessons or more if required. Each block of lessons must be paid in advance to secure bookings and completed within 3 months. Should you not use all lessons before the end of the 3rd month from the purchase date, payment for lessons cannot be refunded.
Lessons are offered as one to one or small groups, maximum 4 children. For group lessons, I offer discounted rates to support families. Some parents find it financially easier to create a small group of students so each child can enjoy their extra support with their friends and at a cheaper rate (piano lessons one to one only). Please contact me for more information on group lessons. For piano lessons, I own and play on the new Yamaha Clavinova CLP 545 which is a fantastic electric piano. It plays and sounds like a Grand Piano with superb features providing a huge variety of sounds, recording and listening playback options. Brilliant for lessons.

Why does teaching make me fat???

Image
Here are some adjectives that I often describe myself as when I am run down and feeling...well let's just say it how it is, feeling like rubbish; sluggish, fat, fatigued, knackered, exhausted, beat and I'm sure many more. During a very hard and busy term, it's incredibly easy to begin to feel this way. But why? Yes, teaching is hard and demanding, but I love my job which has left me confused for a few years. I enjoy teaching, with great job and self satisfaction on a daily basis, so why am I feeling like a hippo that would rather float around in a pool of mud??? Raise your hand if you recognise these following bad habits: holding the need to pee because you're in the middle of a lesson, struggling through the pain of your over flowing bladder because as you were on the way to the toilet, you got side-tracked by a parent or your boss who just had to speak to you at that very moment; missing your snack breaks because you've got to get the homework marked and bac

IGNITE your own professional development! Great Tips...

Image
A very dear professional friend of mine ( +carmen blyth   TheTeacherWhisperer   @teacherwhispers )  once gave me some excellent advice. After she had taught for many years across the globe, whilst casually swimming along and talking about how I could improve my professional development...she left me with two very profound and eye-opening tips: 1) You must take charge of your own professional development yourself. You are on your own and don't expect anybody to put it on your lap. Do it yourself!  2) Wear great clothes, do your hair, put on a pair of heels and flutter your eyelashes! It's true that this works wonders! Do you look like you're trying to impress anyone? There comes a time in everybody's career when you feel stuck. You've got so far and don't know where to turn next. I was so inspired by my friends words which were so simple . I knew I could at least manage point 2 very easily, but I pondered on point 1 for a few months. How can I take c

R2M! Is your class doing this?

Image
R2M What's R2M? Is your class doing it? Thousands of students, whether young, teenage or adult love star wars! As such, its characters are a great way to inject some captivating, visual stimulus into your classroom.  So what is R2M? Inspired by the character's name R2-D2, R2M stands for  'Respond to Marking!'  This is simply time that teachers give to students on a daily basis (where possible) for students to reflect and respond to marking. This is an incredibly important step in the learning process and often missed due to timetable demands. However, I have found that simply adding this to your daily routine (approx 5-10 mins) is positive in many ways; Students take more time and care over their work by checking, correcting and evaluating. Students enjoy responding back to their teacher. Students appreciate their marking more. Student's discussions on learning outcomes are more proactive, positive and reflective. Student's understandi
