MY TEACHING PHILOSOPHY

Jill%252520Headshot_edited_edited_edited

My approach is centred around the learner; it is my belief that all children are individuals with unique talents and interests that should be fostered. I take time to get to know the learner; understand their strengths and challenges, get to know the parent and school views so that we can prioritise targets and achieve them in a logical order that supports rapid progress and the learner's personal goals.

​

It is my belief that all children have the ability to learn; it is the environment and active process, facilitated by the tutor, that enables children to learn effectively. I believe in a holistic approach to education where children feel safe to make mistakes: recognise, understand and learn from them; secure in the concepts leading up to the learning objective by scaffolding and building upon foundations of the knowledge and experience they already have; confident to explore new territory by understanding that learning is lifelong (and fun!) and where they learn strategies to help them become more independent learners who can achieve their goals.

​

Learners need to be challenged and supported in exact measures in order to engage their interest, support their confidence and help them to reach their potential. I employ a range of multi-sensory techniques and strategies to promote the highest standards of learning and achievement in every session.

​

With my background and training in supporting children with mental health needs, particularly those suffering from bereavement, trauma, low self-confidence and self-esteem, I am extremely aware of the impact of developing a 'growth mindset' and providing a nurturing environment where children can thrive and where learning is made fun through engaging sessions.

​

It is my belief that all children are entitled to an education that not only meets their needs academically but that, by doing so, ignites a passion for learning and a lifelong enjoyment of doing so.
