Antoine Ibrahim

Over my long teaching career, nineteen years in all now, I have acquired some expertise and skills which I dare say make me a good candidate for this post and an asset with a lot to contribute to the continuing success of the school.

In my previous school, I was the Math coordinator for KS5. my responsibilities included spotting underachievers and setting individual targets and intervention program for them, advising students on majors and Universities and writing them reference letters.

I believe that I possess qualities that distinguish me in my role of educator of not only KS5 but also KS3 and KS4 students with different abilities; I have seen through a low set Y10 into Y11, with commendable end GCSE results of 75% A to C.

I’d like to believe that my teaching style caters to the needs of all types of learners, whether visual, auditory or kinaesthetic. I also plan my lessons and assessments to encourage thinking at the various levels of Bloom’s Taxonomy.

As for classroom management, I believe in a vibrant learning environment governed by few golden rules that are enforced consistently in order for pupils to know where they stand at all times. Another quality that I try to uphold is to encourage all my students to work to their full potential, while acknowledging and praising good work. I also team them up in groups because I believe in peer teaching. Another point that I am keen to uphold is to maintain a good teacher-student rapport and trusting relationship and involve parents with their children education. Moreover, I have great enthusiasm and solid subject knowledge, an essential requirement for teaching any subject.

To conclude, I would say that over the years I have honed my classroom managerial skills and I feel that I am a good teacher and team player  with a vision for future developments and an aspiration to transpose the warm, supportive, friendly and energetic team member qualities that I am part of,  to wherever my career takes me.

Looking for a Math teaching position with a possibility of progress in the future.
