(1 review)

Personal Description:

I am experienced in working with children at all grades in the primary school from Junior Infants to Sixth Class. I have an in depth understanding and knowledge of the Primary School Curriculum. I have worked in the mainstream classroom as well as in a special education teacher role. I’m an organised, patient and motivated individual who strives to get to know each pupil individually in order to help them reach their full potential.

Tutoring Experience:

I am an experience primary school teacher. I have an undergraduate degree in Early Childhood Care and Education. I worked in the childcare sector in Ireland and Australia until I completed the Higher Diploma in Primary School Teaching. While studying to become a primary teacher I spent a year doing Home Tuition with a young boy with Autism. Since qualifying as a teacher I have worked with all age groups as well as given grinds to children in maths, Irish, general homework and also to a child with autism for speech and language.

Approach to Grinds:

Having experience working with children in a variety of settings, I realise and appreciate the importance in planning for each grind individually based on the needs of the child. I like to meet with the child and its parents/guardians previous to starting grinds in order to get a sense of what they want from the grinds and use that for further planning.
