Khadeejah

I am a dynamic and compassionate educator with Qualified Teacher Status, dedicated to unlocking potential in learners of all ages. With a blend of classroom expertise, extracurricular innovation, and personalized mentorship, I thrive in environments where education meets real-world impact. My journey has taken me from bustling classrooms to community hubs, always with a focus on fostering curiosity, resilience, and lifelong growth.

In the Classroom
As a qualified teacher, I specialize in crafting engaging, curriculum-aligned lessons that resonate with diverse learners. Whether teaching core subjects like Mathematics, Science, or English to Key Stages 1–4, I prioritize adaptive strategies to meet students where they are. For instance, I designed a project-based STEM curriculum centered on sustainable energy, which saw student participation soar by 40% and assessment scores rise by 25% through hands-on experiments and collaborative problem-solving. My classroom is a space where mistakes are stepping stones, critical thinking is celebrated, and every student feels empowered to contribute.

Currently teaching Maths, Science, and English at an Islamic school, designing culturally responsive lessons (e.g., linking scientific concepts to Islamic Golden Age innovations) while meeting national curriculum standards. Spearheaded a STEM module on sustainable energy that increased student engagement by 40% and improved assessment outcomes by 25%. Skilled in adaptive teaching strategies, achieving two-grade improvements for GCSE students and accelerating progress for EAL learners through tailored literacy support. Collaborates with staff and families to align academic rigor with ethical development, fostering holistic student growth.

Through volunteering in schools, leading extracurricular arts and crafts workshops for children aged 6-16, and assisting primary and secondary school teachers, I've gained invaluable teaching experience. These opportunities allowed me to engage with students from diverse backgrounds, develop effective communication skills, and cultivate a passion for fostering creativity and academic growth.

Tutoring Approach

My teaching philosophy revolves around creating a supportive and inclusive learning environment where students feel empowered to explore, question, and grow. Drawing from my experiences volunteering in schools and organizing extracurricular activities, I understand the importance of personalised support tailored to each student's unique strengths and challenges.
