About Minna

I have dedicated over 20 years to primary education. I currently teach at a primary school in the London Borough of Redbridge and have a thorough knowledge of the National Curriculum across all core and foundation subjects.

In addition to my classroom teaching, I have significant experience delivering maths and English intervention and booster sessions for year 5 and year 6 pupils. This has helped raise both attainment and to prepare children for their SATs. I am an accomplished teacher of phonics and phonics screening preparation, particularly in the early years and Key Stage 1. I have a wealth of insight supporting children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) and understand the importance of adapting teaching approaches.

Alongside my school teaching, I have worked as a private tutor for several years which also includes supporting home learners. I regularly set homework using 'concrete', 'pictorial' and 'abstract' resources. I feel that if a child needs help, the primary school years are the best time to begin developing the right foundations.

One of the aspects of teaching I am most proud of, is the positive difference I have made to many children’s educational journeys over the years. I remain most grateful for my career in education...

About the lesson

My approach to teaching is centred around creating a positive, supportive and inclusive learning environment where every child feels valued and encouraged to succeed. I believe that all children learn differently, so I adapt my teaching methods to suit each child’s abilities and learning style.

I aim to make lessons engaging, interactive and enjoyable. I place great importance on developing strong relationships with both pupils and parents. Good communication and teamwork between home and school are essential in helping children make the best possible progress. I also understand the pressures of family life and always try to be flexible, approachable and supportive.

Above all, I teach with kindness, patience, encouragement and always strive to make a meaningful and lasting difference in every child’s learning journey...
