Experienced primary teacher providing 1:1 tutoring in English

I am a fully qualified primary teacher who has taught both in the UK and internationally. I have over 25-years' classroom experience teaching children from Year 1 to Year 6, especially those with English as an additional language. I taught for 20 years in the UK, before moving to the international sector where I have worked in Myanmar, China and Bangkok for the top-tier schools of Dulwich College and Bangkok Patana School. I have extensive knowledge and understanding of the U.K. education system at Primary level.

In addition to being a classroom teacher, I provide 1:1 personalised tutoring. I teach both English and mathematics, helping to extend able students and also support those needing extra catch-up. My lessons are interactive and engaging with lots of opportunities for you to talk – learn from your mistakes – practise new skills – review your learning – and of course use games and technology to make learning enjoyable. My knowledge, experience and teaching methods will ensure that you achieve your intended learning outcomes.

About Me

I'm Chris, a fully qualified primary teacher who has taught both in the UK and also internationally in Asia. I have over 25-years' experience teaching primary school children, especially those who have English as an additional language. I'm keen to help you improve your skills in English and maths. I love teaching, travelling, swimming and exploring new countries and cultures.

I graduated from university in Australia with a Bachelor of Arts in Education degree and a Bachelor of Education degree; which qualifies me to teach in primary schools. When I moved to the UK to live, I competed the QTS (Qualified Teacher Status) award, which qualifies me to teach in primary schools throughout the UK.

I have experience working from Year 1 to Year 6; both internationally and in the UK. Throughout my career I have held several leadership positions in mathematics, assessment, and curriculum development, so I have strong subject knowledge and am very clear of the U.K. teaching curriculum.

I have worked for some top international schools in Bangkok, Shanghai and Yangon that attract families who have high aspirations for their children. I share the same expectations that children can achieve, and encourage all my students to be open-minded, think big and challenge themselves. I use a friendly, patient and supportive approach, with plenty of opportunities for discussion, practice, and use of IT to engage and make learning fun in every lesson.

My experience includes working with many children and families who do not speak English as their first language. I pride myself on building safe, caring and supportive relationships between all students and their families.

Education

I was born in Australia and completed all of my education and teacher training there which includes:

Bachelor of Arts in Education Degree
Bachelor of Education Degree
Qualified Teacher Status (UK)

Experience / Qualifications

I have taught in the UK education system for over 20 years after moving to the International Education sector where I have taught for the past 10 years.

Gain confidence in speaking English with complete immersion
English is falsely presented as an easy language, especially by French speakers. This is a serious mistake! While French is often difficult because of the many grammatical exceptions, particularly regarding spelling, English is endowed with immense complexity in terms of its sounds. Whereas the French speaker complains about itchy eyes, the English speaker will have difficulty hearing you, and no, it's not snobbery; their ear has been educated in a more subtle way. The greatest difficulties in English come from its chaotic sounds, which at first seem absurd or even useless, while they are proof of the many influences and transformations of this language, which has become the de facto lingua franca almost everywhere on the planet. To simplify, English is the result of a Germanic invasion of Celtic lands, Latinized by Vikings speaking Old French from Normandy. The syntax is originally Germanic, but the auxiliary verb do is Celtic, and more than half of its vocabulary is Latin or French! In short, English is much more complex and subtle than it seems, and it's not for nothing that most French speakers pronounce it badly!
