Profile

I am very interested in teaching children and helping them to develop their full potential. I have been involved with children of various ages (including rearing my own!), particularly over the last sixteen years. Having begun as a childminder, I have also worked part-time as a playgroup assistant in Oakdale and, for the past seven years, as a voluntary teacher's assistant at various local schools: Stanley Green First, Oakdale Middle and Canford Heath Middle. As a family, we have enjoyed hosting/entertaining foreign students/teachers throughout the year, aged between 11 and 60(?). This has been mutually beneficial in developing language and culture. As a family, we have travelled to a number of foreign countries, and have visited some of the families whose children have stayed with us. I am confident in speaking French.

Prior to university, I worked as a shop assistant in the Woollen Mill in Edinburgh. Following university, I worked in microbiological research, attaining the position of Scientific Officer after four years in the Forestry Commission. More recently, I have sought to build on my education, involving a home-study Montessori course work. This has enhanced my motivation for maximising the capability of children and helping to foster a caring concern within them for others and the world around us. Having given additional tuition over the last three years, mainly in English, I am pleased that our eldest daughter and son were successful in their local Grammar school entrance examinations (11+). I am now continuing to teach English to French and German foreign students on a part-time basis.
