I work as a full - time employed Primary School teacher. I graduated in 2008 obtaining a first-class degree in Primary Education.

Tutoring Experience

I'm working currently as a full-time Primary School Teacher in beautiful Grampian area (Scotland). I specialise in supporting children with additional educational needs.

When not in school, I privately tutor pupils in Maths, English and ESOL.

I have a proven track record that includes:

• Improving pupils’ grades for English and Maths
• 100% success at SNSA tests

Tutoring Approach

When tutoring pupils, I provide activities that will quickly boost their confidence and raise self-esteem. I feel it is important for children to become fully involved in the process of their learning and I like to agree targets with them that we will then work on.

We all learn in different ways. Some of us are very visual and like to look at books, websites and other texts. Other people prefer to listen to things and talk about their learning. Some people learn best from practical activities and games. I am very aware of how my different pupils learn best and I tailor my sessions to suit the individual’s learning style.
