Maths and English Tuition in Poole

An experienced GCSE and Primary Tutor, I am a children’s mental health worker and former teacher. I am enthusiastic about the teaching and learning of children and young people. I have a strong belief that everyone should leave school with basic literacy and numeracy no matter their background.

As a tutor I am always looking to improve on my teaching and tutoring methods. I hope to ensure students are successful at the subject I am tutoring, but also that they can grow just a little more as a person, including self-confidence and self-esteem.

I am available for tutoring in the Purbeck and Poole areas.

Tutoring Experience

I have taught as a secondary English Teacher and Primary School Teacher. My experience in secondary schools as well as primary school means I have taught English and literacy to all Key Stages, and Mathematics, Science and all other National Curriculum subjects at KS1 and KS2.
I have marked Year 6 SATs and GCSE level exams. I have worked with different exam boards and already have many resources that can help support, including preparation in Year 6 and different exam boards at GCSE.

My training was in Secondary English but I have experience of tutoring and teaching at Primary level. I am very familiar with the Primary National Curriculum, and having taught and tutored various year groups through Primary, I have built up resources and materials to support any level.

Tutoring Approach

Some individuals can get lost in a classroom environment and it is important that during tutoring each child is given a tailored, individualised approach to any subject. I am patient and aim to create a calm and safe learning environment through praise and encouragement. Failure should be looked at as a learning experience, and this can be achieved in all subjects.
I will ensure your child is given the support they need, alongside any SEN support. I will do my best to instil confidence in the tutee and an enjoyment of learning, and ensure that the tutee is approaching the subject in a positive way.
