Curriculum Vitae – Paul Smart - Key Stage *, * & * - Secondary, English Teacher

Relevant Experience and Qualifications

‘The teacher and the taught, together create the teaching'. Teachers teach questions, not

answers. Teachers encourage learners to explore old biases. Teachers facilitate learners' participation in the joy of discovery. Teachers encourage learners how to search for answers, through a process of skeptical enquiry and socratic questioning.

I have been employed as an English Teacher for eighteen years. I have taught in a wide variety of secondary schools, throughout London, Surrey, Cornwall, East Sussex & Berkshire. I am qualified to teach English language and literature at Key Stages 3, 4 & 5 and have also taught in a primary school, recently. I have also taught English in Post-Sixteen Colleges, as a private tutor & at eight Pupil Referral Units.

Key Achievements/Unique Qualities

Variety has been a useful, rewarding, learning-curve and has taught me to be flexible & resourceful. I have enjoyed many challenges and have adapted, evolved and overcome. I have always had a strong work-ethic, resilience and prefer to utilize positive reinforcement techniques, for classroom management. My approach is consistently professional.
