Marie

Hello! I’m Marie and I’m really passionate about helping students grow in confidence and achieve their goals. When I’m not teaching, you’ll often find me on the netball court, reading a new book, or enjoying a long autumn walk with a hot chocolate. English is my favourite subject to teach, as it gives me the chance to spark creativity and share new ideas with students. I also enjoy teaching art because it allows us to get hands-on, creative, and have fun in the process! In addition to teaching French, I’m currently learning Spanish and proud to say I’ve kept up a Duolingo streak of 126 days! I am super excited to put this to the test on holiday!

Tutoring Experience

I have worked with children in a variety of roles, which has given me a strong understanding of how to meet each child’s individual needs. I began as a SEN 1:1, where I developed strategies to support children with a range of additional needs and ensure they felt confident and included in their learning. I then became a Learning Support Assistant, leading small groups as well as providing 1:1 support to help children make progress. After completing my PGCE with Teach First, I gained classroom experience from the very start of my training and went on to qualify as a teacher. I am now an Early Career Teacher in lower key stage 2 where I continue to create a supportive, encouraging environment to help children thrive both academically and personally.

Tutoring Approach

My teaching approach is focused on helping children feel supported, motivated, and confident in their learning. I take time to understand each child’s individual needs and adapt my lessons so that they can make steady progress at their own pace. I value creativity and positivity in the classroom, and I work hard to create an environment where children not only achieve academically but also enjoy the learning process.
