Rachael Ikumelo

As a newly qualified primary school teacher specialising in year 3/4, I bring over two years of experience in classroom teaching to my role as a tutor.

With a passion for fostering a positive learning environment, I strive to create engaging lessons tailored to the individual needs of each student.

My patient and supportive approach, coupled with a deep understanding of primary school curriculum and teaching strategies, enables me to effectively help students grasp challenging mathematical concepts. I am committed to instilling confidence in my students while nurturing their love for learning.

Teaching brings me immense joy because it allows me to make a positive impact on students' lives. Witnessing the moment when a concept "clicks" for a student and seeing their confidence soar is incredibly rewarding. I enjoy the challenge of finding creative and engaging ways to present information, catering to diverse learning styles.

Building meaningful connections with students and helping them navigate through challenges while celebrating their successes fills me with pride.

Teaching also constantly inspires me to learn and grow as an educator, as I strive to provide the best possible learning experience for my students.

An effective educator is patient, empathetic, and adaptable, fostering a supportive learning environment. I embody these qualities by providing individualised support, cultivating empathy, and adapting my teaching methods to meet the diverse needs of my students.

Overall, the opportunity to shape young minds, foster a love for learning, and contribute to the future generation is what fuels my passion for teaching.
