Somewhat Exciting Information About Me
Name: Rebecca.H
Tutor: Don.C
Degree: 2:1 in English Literature. Studied at the University of Sheffield. Now undertaking a Postgraduate Certificate in Education at the University of Manchester.
Qualifications: A Levels in English Combined (A), Geography (A) and Theatre Studies (B)
GCSE's 5 A* and 5As.
Previous School Experience: A lot of my experience with children lies in running a Christian children's camp in Whitby every year. They are aged between 8-14 and bring many challenges and much enjoyment. With regards to school I have been a year 6 mentor for 3 months in the run up to their SATs. Additionally I have volunteered at a school in Durham for a week, experiencing each year group from 3-6. This week was invaluable and what convinced me that teaching was the right profession.
Educational Interests: Reflecting my degree, I love books. I have far too many and my shelves are bending in the middle from the weight! As a teacher I want my class to be passionate about reading, and I really want to be reading to them once a day.
Other Interests: Musical theatre. Whether it's watching, performing or directing it creates a pounding in my chest and a feeling of ecstasy that nothing else can mimic. Also I'm a Christian and so when I'm not teaching children or singing songs you can find me living each moment for God.
