I am a highly motivated, industrious and professional person who thoroughly enjoys working in education. I have several years experience as a teaching assistant. I am confident and effective in a school environment and able to offer specific help to pupils at any levels (KS level1 to A-Level) in Maths, French, Science, History and Geography. I have demonstrated in my previous and current role I am a team player, have good contact and communication skills with children, teenagers, and those with special needs.
Since 2012, I have been working as Maths tutor to students who need support in various areas of mathematics to improve their speed and efficiency when it comes to exam papers. I teach pupils from KS level 2 up to A-Level. I teach pupils with different levels of achievements. The students I have supported has resulted in a significant improvement of their grades and understanding of Maths which has led to me have extremely good references from each and everyone of them.
For a short period of time I had the privilege of working in 4 different schools, 2 of them where I was cover teacher in Drama, Geography and Maths -Highgate Wood School and William Ellis School-, and then 2 others where I worked as a teaching assistant for Children with special needs (autistic children mainly) -Swanley School (Whitechapel) and Royal Docks Community School
Working in this school for about 2 months was a real opportunity to increase my skills and abilities to deal with SEN students. Surrounded by a warm and experienced team, I completed with success the different tasks assigned to me, par example working with a student with MLD and ASD. A task I thoroughly enjoyed although one of the challenges was building up our communication skills using some basic MAKATON symbols, with time though I was able to establish a link of trust between the student and myself, helping him to become compliant with simple instructions and being receptive to teaching which enabled him to carry out tasks such as baking a cake. This experience definitely enhancing my level of understanding, efficiency and left me better equipped for the next step.
Having a permanent position at JFS, one of the biggest Jewish school in Europe has been a thrilling experience for me. Many opportunities were given to me to prove my professionalism. Being part of The SEN department, I had the responsibility to look after a group of pupils from year 9. I scheduled and organized after classroom interventions (tuition session) in order to strengthen and consolidate their knowledge and practice. Along with other members of staff we observed a significant improvement in the student's skills and marks.
In addition, I improved my communication skills, such as the importance of liaising with the Maths department as well as the SEN department and preparing meetings with the children's parents.
As a member of staff of one of the most thriving College throughout London, I had to pleasure to be part of a highly professional community. I experience working in a college environment and supporting young adult students and help help achieve the curriculum they chose.
