Dear NQT… My Top 10 Tips for Teaching Online

It is important that in setting your timetable that you write it out every morning and timetable in everything, be that your breaks, a walk, reading time.
A timetable of your week’s activities is a good idea too, for both you and the pupils. On a Monday, I give an overview of the lessons we will be doing every day or activities with resources needed beside each one. If there is a specific requirement, especially for art, even if it is just to have toilet rolls collected, giving notice for this is a good idea. This also helps pupils get their own week timetabled and planned out and parents can work around this too.

Reflections of a Summer Course Tutor

Last year was my first Summer working as a Rahooley, (Summer Course Tutor with Rahoo). It was an experience that I really, really enjoyed.

I made it a priority to connect with all participants from the get go and there after offering constructive feedback
