Zaynah

I am a fully qualified and GTCS-registered primary teacher based in Scotland, with a strong passion for helping children reach their full potential. I take pride in creating a calm, supportive, and engaging learning environment where children feel safe to take risks, ask questions, and build confidence. As a friendly and approachable tutor, I aim to make learning enjoyable while maintaining high expectations. My goal is always to nurture a love of learning in every child I work with.

Tutoring Experience

I have several years of classroom experience teaching across all stages of the primary curriculum. I have taught a wide range of learners with varying needs and abilities, including those requiring additional support and stretch and challenge. I’m confident in delivering the Curriculum for Excellence and have successfully helped children make meaningful progress in both literacy and numeracy. My experience includes supporting pupils through transitions, building key skills, and closing learning gaps through tailored interventions. I bring a strong understanding of child development, assessment, and inclusive practices to my tutoring.

Tutoring Approach

My tutoring is entirely child-centred and designed to meet each learner exactly where they are. I believe in building strong relationships based on trust and encouragement, which helps children feel confident and motivated. Sessions are structured but flexible, with a focus on boosting understanding, resilience, and self-belief. I use a variety of engaging, practical strategies to make learning clear, memorable, and enjoyable. I also believe in keeping parents informed and involved, offering regular feedback to ensure we’re working together to support your child’s progress.
