Julia's Page
Welcome to my page!
You may have gathered my name is Julia. I am a proud mum of three grown
children, slave to three naughty cats, play violin (badly
) and teach English
to all age groups from Key Stage 1 to GCSE. I completed my teacher
training (PGCE) in both Primary and Further & Adult education, focusing my teaching
career in F&A Ed. basic literacy, and later qualifying in adult dyslexia
diagnosis and support
(PgCert Adult Dyslexia
Diagnosis & Support).
In 2007 I left state education teaching to focus on my private tutoring (which I've been doing since 1997) and also deliver an adult literacy class on a voluntary basis at a local community centre. Although I loved the buzz of state education teaching, I can’t say I miss the political correctness nonsense, such as being discouraged from using red ink to mark students' work because of the silly notion that they might become traumatised at having it marked in an ink colour they can actually see. I felt the politics of state education wearing, leaving us God-forsaken teachers (what’s left of them) drowning in an array of unnecessary paperwork with precious little time to focus on the job we are paid to do.
Where was I?
Oh yes, I hope this page will be welcomed by my long distance family and
friends, especially those living overseas, as an means of keeping up to
date with us.
