Functional skills tutor
West Kent and Ashford College.
Working through an agency, this was my first FE college role. I learnt a lot in 3 months about classroom control and careful planning for different abilities and personalities. Delivered some significant successes during this
short-term contract. One such occasion involved adapting a lesson to meet the needs of learners requiring
additional support for dyslexia and dyspraxia. The lesson in question was preparing learners for their speaking
and listening assessment and resulted in an extremely lively but rewarding debate involving every learner in the class.
