Hayley

I am a qualified teacher with 6 years of Primary teaching and tutoring experience, in Mainstream and SEN settings.

Tutoring Experience

During this time I have been fortunate to develop a wealth of skills and understanding across both Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2, in both a mainstream Primary school setting and a Generic Special School setting.

As a teacher, I have an Enhanced DBS with barred list check.

Throughout my teaching, I have led creative subject areas such as Art, Music and D+T and I have created my own Phonics afterschool booster sessions and lunchtime maths sessions, alongside promoting and delivering our Reading At Home and Homework Policy across the school.

Tutoring Approach

I have worked with a range of learning needs and I know how important it is to recognise each child as an individual in order to understand how they best learn, so that I am able to adapt my teaching to meet their needs.

Online tuition allows me to be available to more students that need that extra bit of support. However, not only that, it is much easier for parents as no travelling is involved, you are able to be present during the sessions and children love to learn with technology – not to mention the whole world is ever increasingly learning and working online nowadays!

Confidence is key when it comes to learning. I pride myself in creating nurturing, safe spaces when I tutor online, where children feel comfortable to make mistakes and ask the questions that they may feel reluctant to in a classroom setting. After all, there is no such thing as mistakes, only lessons to be learnt!

From my teaching experience in both Primary and Special schools, I believe passionately that every child has great potential and that every child, and the way that they learn is unique.

Tutoring allows me the time and space to truly meet the needs of every child that I teach.

I support this learning in a variety of ways:

Small Group Sessions (Online)
1:1 Bespoke Tutoring Sessions (Online and Face to Face)

I like to make my sessions fun, engaging and approachable, to encourage discussion. This way, any misconceptions can be picked up quickly and worked on together, as well as informing my assessment when considering what steps to take in the following session.
