I am a fully qualified primary school teacher and have taught for over 20 years through the primary age range (Early Years - Year Six). I also tutor children who are struggling with secondary English and Maths to help them brush up on the basics. I hold a BA (Hons) English with Education Degree (with Qualified Teacher Status). I offer fun online or in-person tuition at times which suit you and your child's needs and in the comfort of your own home (with Covid-secure practices) if required. I thrive on seeing children achieve their potential, my motto is, #keepitfun!

Tutoring Experience

I teach in several local schools, in both Key Stages including Early Years (whole class, group boosters and one to one for children with SEND). I also work as a private tutor, boosting children in English or Maths, helping them surpass (or catch up with) age related expectations. I prepare many children for their SATs (Yr2+6), Phonics tests (Yr1) and Times Tables tests (Yr4) with great results which includes building up self-confidence and an improved attitude to learning. My degree specialism is English with Education. I have taught all primary curriculum subjects and have led mathematics and science within a school, measurably improving their results each year.

Tutoring Approach

Once I have assessed your child, I create a bespoke curriculum reflecting on their specific areas of development. My aim is to help your child to have fun whilst learning and adopting an 'I can' attitude that will serve them well beyond education. I identify their preferred style of learning and adapt lessons to reflect their personality. Depending on age, I access both outdoor and indoor environments using games and activities to enhance learning and interest. During government restrictions (or when children need to self isolate) I teach via Zoom. The students find this great fun, due to the fantastic learning resources I prepare, which are tailored to their individual interests and educational needs.
