1Question

Tell me about a time you worked with a particularly challenging or disengaged pupil

I worked with a Year 9 student who had been out of school for 4 months due to severe anxiety and was refusing to engage with any learning materials. The situation required immediate intervention as he was falling significantly behind in core subjects. I started by building trust through short 20-minute sessions focused on his interests in gaming, gradually incorporating Maths concepts through game mechanics and statistics. Over 6 weeks, I extended sessions to full hour-long lessons covering English and Science topics. The result was remarkable - he progressed from refusing to write a single sentence to completing full GCSE practice papers, and successfully returned to mainstream education with renewed confidence in his abilities.

2Question

Describe a situation where you had to adapt your teaching approach for a vulnerable learner

I was assigned a Year 10 student with dyslexia who had been excluded from school and was struggling with English comprehension. The task was to prepare her for GCSE English Literature within a compressed timeframe of 10 weeks. I recognised that traditional text-heavy approaches wouldn't work, so I implemented a multi-sensory strategy using audio books, visual story maps, and kinesthetic activities to explore themes. I created colour-coded analysis sheets and used voice recording for her responses rather than written work initially. After 8 weeks, her comprehension scores improved by 60%, and she gained enough confidence to attempt written responses, ultimately achieving a Grade 4 in her GCSE mock examination.
