プライベート 1 対 1 の数学個別指導 (2 年生から 5 年生): 暗算スキル (X と ÷) の開発。

Hello everyone,

My name is Heather and I am based in the United Kingdom where I have been teaching children aged 4-11 for 20 years.  From a very young age, I wanted to be a teacher and my passion for this profession has kept on growing every day.

I love seeing (and being a part of) children grasping new concepts and becoming more confident in their own abilities.  Every child is talented and I thoroughly enjoy finding out what they are passionate about and what it is they have a real flair for.  I have a great enthusiasm for Maths, reading and writing and specialised in these subjects over the last 20 years.  I also believe that children who are confident and feel valued and respected will believe in themselves so that they can achieve whatever they want!  Every child deserves to be heard and to be able to develop the tools needed to become a lifelong learner.

My classes will always be well-prepared, pacey, fun and engaging.  Learning will be completely suited to meet the needs and interests of the children.

I remember a quote I once heard that said:
"The best teachers are those who tell you where to look but don't tell you what to see."

Young children are so curious about the world around them and always ask "Why?"  I try every day to nurture and develop this inquisitiveness by making sure learning is an enjoyable experience and by being a fantastic role model.  It is important to tell our children that we, ourselves, are still learners.  My role is not to tell children constantly what to do but to be able to help them facilitate their own learning through scaffolding and practise.

The thing that brings me most joy is making other people happy and to hear them laugh.  I have a weird fascination with dad jokes.  My friends say that they don't find my jokes funny but I know they secretly do - especially once I have explained these and repeated them several times ;)
