Primary school and Homework support/ Art lessons/ Greek students support/lessons

From 42 £ /h

Primary school is a crucial phase in a young child's life, preparing them for a successful future and setting a strong base in basic knowledge and essential skills. As an experienced teacher with over 6 years working with outstanding schools around London and leading my own year groups, I have an in-depth knowledge on the UK curriculum and I know first hand that within the school hours there is not enough time for individual support and guidance as required per child.
This lessons will be customised to the child's needs and offer the necessary support for them to become confident students with true knowledge and understanding of their topics whilst working on areas they need extra support. I also provide homework support as homework easily becomes a chore when it has to be done amongst all the daily family activities and work!
Additionally, I am a Native Greek speaker so I could offer support to Greek students with either greek lessons or English.
As an artist, I would also offer guidance and tutoring with art lessons and art projects.

Extra information

You will need a note pad and a pen for taking notes and working on exercises. When lessons are on site I will be providing everything else.

About Me

I am a passionate teacher, artist and dancer with experience in various fields of work. I love working with children and alongside my teaching career, I am also working as an artist/dancer and choreographer. In 2018, I founded my own Contemporary Dance Company "IKAROS" and this year I started a Podcast -Dancescope dedicated to dancers and dance artists. I love animals and nature, always fighting for a safer and healthier planet and animal welfare!

Education

My first degree is in Fine Arts and Art Sciences. After completion with honours, I moved to London to do my Masters in Conservation of Fine Art with UAL and I continued with a BA (hons) in Contemporary Dance as Creative Practice. I have also acquired QTS and at the moment I am doing an MFA in Choreography with Laban.

Experience / Qualifications

Over the past five years, I have been working as a KS2 teacher in highly esteemed London primary schools. I was an Art teacher and Co-teacher for Ark Franklin Primary Academy, and since September 2018, I was the Year 4 lead teacher and Art Coordinator for Canary Wharf College, both schools rated outstanding by Ofsted. Alongside planning and delivering all Year 4 lessons, I was responsible for curriculum review and development in Art. I have redesigned the school’s Art curriculum and art planning for each term and each year group separately. I was responsible for art activities, art weeks and art training.
I have also been mentoring PGCE trainee teachers and NQT’s for two consecutive years, whilst doing their termly reviews, observations and yearly evaluations, offering them support and guidance to achieve their goals and qualification. All my students have shown great progress, all graduating with secure and mastered levels achieved, successfully closing gaps and preparing them for UKS2 and their SATs.

Additionally, I am highly experienced in working with SEN students with autism, ADHD, dyslexia, as well as severe behavioural issues and low attention span, developing a caring and supportive relationship with them and helping them progress, whilst working with the SENCO and the school behavioural specialist to develop efficient strategies. Working in diverse academic settings, has helped me gain excellent behavioural management skills but also the ability to develop differentiated lessons for a wide range of students.
