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.

Can learning English be fun, insightful, productive and effective at the same time? I believe so!

Whatever your background or profession, deciding to learn a foreign language is a great way to add another dimension to your life and make your mind work in a new way. You become a (slightly) different person, since along with a new language, one learns to look at the world in a slightly different way. This is why my approach to teaching English is not only aimed at laying or strengthening the foundational knowledge - grammar, speaking, writing and listening skills, but also at introducing students to the culture of the English-speaking population. We will find out what English speakers find funny, what drives them to tears, what makes them feel proud and what they get embarrassed about.

Open to students of all levels, my course usually is taught online, using a variety of visual aids and a wide range of material, from textbooks to YouTube videos. In teaching advanced learners, I often refer to pieces of literature such as novels and poems, since they easily spark discussions, which in turn improves the students' grasp and feel of the language. In doing so, I take students beyond ordinary textbooks and grammar books, since they are no more than guides to learning, not absolute authorities, and because to me language is a living, constantly evolving matter, which you must submerge yourself into in order to understand.

In addition to my unorthodox approach, what sets me apart is a collection of unique, language-related experiences, which translate into a good ability to understand nuances of the English language. A native Russian speaker, I have lived in the UK for over 5 years, went to a Scottish boarding school and have even completed a university degree in English. Thanks to my linguistic and cultural competency, I will make sure that you are never lost in translation! Are you interested? Then contact me today!

Hello, I'm Adrian, and I'm 25 years old! I'm a native Spanish teacher. Currently, I work at a secondary education center in London, so I have experience in preparing for GCSE and A-level exams. Additionally, I offer classes tailored to each student's needs. I enjoy bringing an engaging and fun approach to my classes and, whenever possible, I incorporate ICT (Information and Communication Technologies). I work with both groups and individuals, and I have extensive experience with both.

-Acting coaching, audition prep, drama school audition, and self-tapes.-

My method comes from my own professional experience working in London theatres. I believe heavily in preparation. Doing the work! Then letting go and being free on stage opening yourself to act spontaneously.

I direct and teach with the National Youth Theatre of GB and other theatre companies across London.

In my three years of coaching my students have gained places at RADA, LAMDA, Drama Studio London, East 15 and NYT. I can help with the interview stage and with selecting material.

Once we have that we will slowly dissect the piece and the world of the play to truly understand the character's wants/needs/obstacles/actions.

Also, I will....
- Give you confidence in your speech and in yourself for your upcoming auditions.

- Help you find your most natural performance.

- Explore and find exciting and different ways to perform the text. Settling on what works best for you.

- Also having FUN, because that's what acting is about right?!

P.s I work with actors who have dyslexia. I too am dyslexic. I can adjust my teaching to what suits you and how you learn. Just let me know! As well as any other learning difficulty's :)

Setswana is a rich, rhythmic language spoken in Botswana, South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia. Belonging to the Bantu family, it closely resembles other languages in the region.
I have found learning Setswana through several terrific teachers, thorough textbooks and daily life enriching.

Growing up in Botswana, speaking this beautiful and intricate language, or at least making an effort to do so, can transform the way you live in Botswana.
I have taught semester-long regular beginners Setswana lessons to children aged 7-12 and adults, with strong emphasis on understanding grammar by breaking it down into “formulas” for how to form tenses and sentences. I teach these and vocabulary through a mix of traditional explanatory lectures, practice exercises and creative games, accompanied by study techniques I have found very useful for learning foreign languages. I have also worked as a trained English tutor, and study linguistics at university, both of which have shaped me to better understand and teach language.

Each class will consist of grammar formulas (eg: basic conjugation in the present tense: linking pronoun [for the human noun class group, for example: ke=I, o=you, o=him/her, re=we, le=you plural, ba=they] + “tla” [as in “will”] + verb), some vocabulary words, spoken or written exercises or games to go through together and longer practice exercises to build independent confidence.

My teaching materials I use I developed whilst living in Botswana, and have already been used with my aforementioned classes. I hope they can help you too !

My name is Bako and I am a very hard-working individual. As a student who struggled for years to get good grades, I know the struggle and pain. However, I was willing to change my life around and so can you. I am so passionate in helping others because I am certain that my way of teaching will definitely help students who are determined to aim for the high grades. I can't stress enough how most of the things taught to students nowadays really do not help them at all and is the reason why they aren't seeing any progress. However, that's why I am here to change that and for certain guarantee those high grades which all you students want. My question to you; How determined are you to change?

As a year 12 student who's just finished GCSE, I can vouch and argue that I know all the tips and tricks to get grade 9s in History and Religious Education. My main techniques to help students are Revision Methods, Exam Structure and the Information needed for the exam. I am very confident in teaching History and RE as I was able to get grade 9s in all my mocks consistently.

Early Literacy is fundamental for preparing students for primary school and beyond -- creating developmentally appropriate, structured, and fun lesson plans to support literacy can have an outsize impact in instilling a joy of learning and a sense of confidence in early readers. With a background in English Literature and teaching, I specialize in early learners and students for whom reading may feel intimidating. I will provide worksheets, activities, games, and work with parents to learn about what activities and topics are the most engaging for their student.
