About the lesson

I am a professional, caring and patient tutor and believe that being positive and supportive can lead to achieving great results.
I always see the positive and the potential in a learner and always work hard to develop their skills changing my approach to accommodate their different learning styles.
Having been a tutor within a medical and clinical environment for 5 years, I went on to become a Senior Training Manager within the same field and for the same large company for the following eight years.
I hold a Certificate in Mentoring from Greenwich University which I gained through supporting my different team members in their own development and personal educational courses such as the PGCE and PTLLS.
My passion lies within the learning environment and I believe that learning can be fun and that there is nothing better than witnessing that "light bulb" moment!
Although my most recent experience is within the clinical learning environment I have an excellent command of the English language and grammar and can also support and develop the learner in this area.
I am very experienced in computer programmes such as Word and PowerPoint and am also experienced in Excel.
I hold an Institute of Health Care and Development Instructor qualification and am also a qualified nurse.
Although I was a senior training manager I always preferred being in the classroom, especially with a new basic skills course when seeing each individual develop in knowledge and skills was so rewarding and worthwhile.
I am able to work alongside all levels of learner and also all age groups. I have had the pleasure of working with teenagers and those who have taken early retirement in another role and who have started again looking for a new challenge.
I have a passion for art and drawing and was so proud to have the sketches I had completed for exam level displayed around the school foyer! My recent artistic development has been within the watercolour genre. I do not think that the learning ethos can ever be erased and sometimes find myself supporting other colleagues in the group!
