Role: 11+ Foundation Course teacher
Experience
I am a fully qualified teacher with over 25 years experience teaching primary school children. After I graduated from Plymouth University, I moved to Athens, Greece where I taught in an international school for 2 years, before returning to the UK and continuing to teach in primary education.
After teaching for 20 years in my last school I was hungry for a new challenge and 3 years ago began working for SDE, for Fiona Wyeth’s SDE 11+ Tuition Centre franchise in Earley, Reading, where I enjoy teaching groups of Foundation Course children the 11+ curriculum skills mostly for the entrance tests to Kendrick School (GL Assessment) and Reading School (Future Stories Community Enterprise).
When I am not working for SDE, I enjoy tutoring children on a one-to-one basis to help them advance their learning. I am also a qualified children’s yoga teacher and run a class each week for children in Years 2 – 6.
Additional information
Teaching groups of children smaller than a whole-class size is wonderful and I like to make learning fun and memorable for the children who attend my classes.
