/ Joao Carlos M.
My name is Joao Carlos, I am Brazilian and graduated in History from the Federal University of Paraná, in Curitiba, Brazil. I have the experience of teaching to people of different ages. My first experience it was in a Museum called Paranense Museum, where I worked in the History departament and later on I start to teach brazilian portuguese to foreigners. With that, I believe I can be a good tutor and help those who need extra help in History!
If you are needing a KS2 KS3 tutor then I can help.
With 18 years experience in the school setting I have helped many children achieve their goals.
Maths, English, Art and Religion are my specialist subjects.
I am a 65 years old tutor of predominantly History and Politics, with English and Religious Studies as my supplementary subjects.
Willing to teach on-line by Skype (preferred) or Zoom, as well as person-to-person.
As you will note from my qualifications and professional experience, I have taught all four subjects for some 35 years, at College, University, Sixth Form College and High School. While the majority of my teaching has been in the UK, mainly in Birmingham, London and Bristol, nevertheless I have also taught abroad at university in the Philippines. Additionally, I have been an A'Level Politics and History examiner for the former London and Oxford & Cambridge boards in the 1990s and early post-millennium decade. So also, have I written course brochures for the History and Politics Distance - learning programmes for the National Extension College, Cambridge. All of this has added up to my having acquired a broad professional experience, which I put to the benefit of my students.
My teaching style is very much subject and communication based, with the emphasis applying knowledge and essay skills towards achieving the best exam results. There is also a priority attached to reading and grammar skills, both of which appear to be neglected by the contemporary British educational establishment. Hopefully I can use my experience and robust teaching methods towards enabling students to gain their best performance in exams and careers. - Please also note that I am happy to tutor students on-line - ie. Skype (Preferred) or Zoom, and have a fair experience of this kind of teaching.
