Testimonials from my references
“…Matthew … was promoted to joint Deputy Head of Mathematics … was an effective teacher and fully supported his Head of Department in leading the team … has good relationships with colleagues, students and their families …” - Zoe Cozens, Headteacher, Heathcote School & Science College.
“… I found him to be supportive and a team player who takes the initiative when he notices something that needs to be done … he has run ICT training sessions for staff, overseen long term cover for absent staff, taken responsibility for the majority of work required to produce our home learning tasks for KS3 pupils, run after school clubs for extra help or exam revision, Springboard Maths sessions for our lowest ability year 7 students and Maths Discovery sessions for primary students currently attending our feeder schools. In all of these cases he identified these needs, volunteered his services and then took sole responsibility for the organisation including making contact with other schools and parents… Matthew regularly developed resources and shared them and other teaching ideas …” - Lucia Threadgill, Head of Maths & Excellence in Maths Teacher, The Petersfield School.
“… Matthew approached all his lessons with enthusiasm and strived to make lessons informative, accessible and enjoyable. .. he established good relationships with the students who clearly benefitted from Matthew’s sound mathematical knowledge… He made many useful and interesting contributions to our resources …” Sue Herniman, Head of Maths, Kings International College.
Testimonial from a parent (via email)
“… He has really enjoyed working with you and you have helped him a great deal. I also have to tell you that many parents speak very highly of you and most wish you were teaching all of their children!”
Testimonial from a student (in a Spanish Class)
The Spanish teacher was talking about subjects in Spanish and heard one child say “I don’t like maths.”, the teacher heard another child reply, “That is because you don’t have Mr Taylor as a teacher.”.
