Alison

I am an enthusiastic, qualified primary teacher with many years of experience in the classroom and privately teaching students on a one-to-one basis. I am skilled at getting to know the strengths and challenges of each student I teach and sensitively developing an approach for each one that works well. I am patient, kind, reliable, loyal and hardworking and my students often report that they feel more confident after a few sessions. I have had overwhelmingly positive feedback from the parents and children I have worked with. These skills are fully transferrable into other roles involved in supporting other individuals or groups requiring training, care and help.
