CPS Teachers

Alex

I am a qualified teacher. My teaching experience started in July 2015.  I received a BA English Language and Literature from the University of Liverpool in June 2015. Then after, I took a 2-year PGCE Teach First Leadership Development and an on-the-job teacher training programme at The Grangefield Academy. Then after I taught students in schools in both the UK and Sweden, as well as tutoring students in KS2, 3 and 4.

I worked with young students in an international preschool in Copenhagen many of which did not speak much English. I really enjoyed helping these students to develop and begin to have some conversations in English. I enjoy working with students of all ages and helping them to progress with their studies and language.  Outside of the classroom, I regularly met with students for extra 1-to-1 support, including an after-school club. I also engaged with parents whenever appropriate.  

I am an incredibly passionate teacher. I strive to make sure all of my lessons and assessments are well planned and differentiated. I also make sure my lessons are engaging, with a variety of tasks, one to one support and some fun games. My aim is for students to feel they can trust me, ask me for help, as well as be inspired by my enthusiasm.

I was born in Yorkshire, England. In my spare time I like reading, traveling, playing netball and cooking.

Jared 

I have been accumulating teaching experience since 2016 and am comfortable teaching students of any age. I have taught English for 6 months in Xuzhou to primary school children and two years in Hong Kong to individuals of all ages. I have extensive experience as a Biology, Chemistry, and Medical Studies tutor of High School and University students.

Having learned several languages myself, I am fully aware of the difficulties students face and as such, I am able to better understand my pupils. I strive to understand and adapt my approach to the learning styles of each child in the class, in order to help each individual achieve their full learning potential. I am a strong believer that ‘practice makes perfect’ and as such my lessons take an interactive approach to learning, encouraging student participation as much as possible. This coupled with regular revision of previous topics allows for effective cumulative learning and produces impressive results.

I am wholly invested in the welfare and progress of each of my students and will go the extra mile to ensure they are happy, healthy, and enjoying the journey of learning.

I was born and raised in the UK. I am about to undertake a Masters’s degree in Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine at the U of Manchester, as part of my training to become a doctor.

James

I am currently undertaking a Bachelors of Science in Geology at the University of Portsmouth. One of my biggest passions in life is helping students to learn effectively, and I believe I am adept at doing so while facilitating learning. 

At GCSE level I achieved A* in English literature and an A in Geography. This, coupled with A-Levels in both allows me to have first-hand knowledge of the subjects.

Most importantly, I am passionate about what I do and making sure everyone has the opportunity to succeed. In both of my favoured subjects, I had some brilliant teachers who have had a huge impact on my education experience. My ultimate goal is to extend this to other students. My areas of key knowledge are within Geoscience, Physics, and English.

Learning Goal

Upon completion of the course, students would have learnt 40 topics of scientific knowledge as well as 97 scientific terms of Enlgish. Following the textbook, teachers deliver lessons to a small group of students in live lessons online, which are composed of lectures, class activities and revisions. In addition, students would have learnt scientific knowledge, scientific inquiry and rsearch skills.

Learning Plan

• 47 live lessons online are delivered across 47 weeks.
• 1 lesson per week.
• 60 minutes per lesson.
• 47 live lessons online consist of 40 lecture lessons and class activities, 6 revision lessons, and a final session for the course assessment.
• Students should do scientific activities in after-school hours.
• 6 students in a class.
