1) Why you would be a great tutor?
I have been able to progress in a number of skills and subject areas, such experiences have shown that understanding as well as observation and a broad spectrum of learning methods are crucial. Adapting teaching styles and using a number of learning techniques combined with innovative and logistical platforms for learning in an encouraging and supportive surrounding, are vital in helping to introduce a thirst for knowledge and exploration at a young age. I place high value upon teamwork and the development of strong relationships as well as looking at the world from different viewpoints, challenging perceptions and supporting the discovery and development of individual talent and self-potential. This along with the introduction of a more illustrative and creative approach to teaching Science encompassing practical and active methodologies require a great deal of investment and enthusiasm which I feel I possess as a tutor.

2) Details of relevant work experience
I have had number of placements both within primary and secondary schools during which I have been able to gain an insight in to a number of different teaching approaches. Areas which I have observed include curriculum content, engagement of children in relation to what is being taught, behavioural management techniques, parental involvement as well as standard of knowledge, access to support frameworks, examination preparation , effects of changes in reform and change in teaching styles between age ranging's and genders as well as the use of positive reinforcements and feedback.
