I am a qualified Primary school teacher with over 17 years teaching experience. I qualified, and taught, in England for a year and then moved back to Inverness where I have been teaching for 16 years.
I work in school part time as a support for learning teacher and also part time as a class teacher.
I have been tutoring part time for three years and tutor from early level up to and including National 5.

Tutoring Experience

Over 17 years teaching experience - and still going.
I have been a support for learning teacher for over three years. I work part time in school and tutor part time.
I currently tutor children and adult learners - ranging from early level all the way up to National 5+.

Tutoring Approach

I tutor from my home so that the learner is in a friendly, relaxed environment.
Due to Covid19 I am now offering online tuition.

During our first couple of sessions I will fully assess where the learner is in their understanding, where their strengths and pressures are plus assess their preferred learning style. Assessment will be continuous as we progress and tutoring will be matched to the learners needs. I gather evidence of where the learner is and we work out the next steps together so that they can see the progress that they are making.

The impact of tutoring can be significant. It provides a great opportunity to boost skills, develop confidence and improve understanding and motivation. Part of my approach is to build on study skills - these are transferable skills that will benefit in all areas of learning.

Tuition is 1:1
I am able to offer small group tuition if there is enough demand.
Sessions are booked on a six week cycle.
