My Summary

My Experience

THE SALESIAN ACADEMY OF ST JOHN BOSCO, TEACHER OF MATHEMATICS
As a Teacher of Mathematics at The Salesian Academy Catholic Secondary School, I worked with students aged 11-16, including Foundation and Higher Paper GCSE students. My responsibilities include planning and teaching mathematics lessons, invigilating and marking exams and assessments, setting and marking homework and adjusting lessons according to results, delivering personalised feedback to students, receiving training for SEN and safeguarding considerations, managing behaviour and setting expectations, planning for and participating in open days and parents evenings, arranging meetings and phone calls with parents, and attending training conferences on teaching and mathematical pedagogy.

KUMON COWBRIDGE & KUMON PONTYCLUN, TEACHING ASSISTANT
I worked as a TA of English and Mathematics for children aged 5-16 years. My responsibilities included marking and recording work, assisting with reading, writing and numeracy, managing the students and ensuring engagement, assigning homework, marking assessments, speaking to the children in Welsh, holding parent reviews and giving tailored feedback, and ensuring the tidiness of the classroom.

PRIVATE TUTOR OF MATHEMATICS, LLANHARAN & PONTYCLUN
Before university, I had my own small business as a Private Tutor of Mathematics for local children. I would visit students after school in their homes, assess the areas of schoolwork they were struggling in, and carry out pre-planned lessons in the comfort of their own homes with a combination of curriculum-based workbooks and personalised tasks. Many of my students were working significantly below age-related expectations, and had sought private tuition to address this. I was able to adapt my approach to teaching, thinking outside of the traditional classroom framework to uncover more effective learning strategies that suited each of my students individually. I was not trying to replace their schooling, instead working in tandem with the national curriculum and their school reports to build a sense of academic courage and inquisitiveness towards problem-solving, equipping them with the tools they needed to make better progress in the classroom.
