I am a highly experienced primary teacher who is currently working in school, as well as tutoring pupils who need extra help with English and Maths or are preparing for 11+. I have a full DBS check.
I specialise in teaching Key Stage Two (ages 7 to 11) but teach across the primary age range and also tutor children from lower secondary.
I was employed directly by the Department for Education for a number of years. During this time I developed an interest in languages and gained a formal qualification in Teaching English as a Foreign Language. I now offer TEFL to adults and children alike.
I have over twenty years of experience working in a wide variety of schools in a number of roles - as a class teacher, a SEN teacher and a tutor. I am fully up-to-date with the curriculum in primary schools. I have supported children in small groups and have worked in 1:1 situations.
Due to demand, I am offering online tuition only, via Zoom or Skype, during the day and early evening. My current online pupils range from year 4 to year 10. My support with remote learning has proved very popular and I am happy to help your child with the tasks they receive from school.
I greatly enjoy helping children succeed and look forward to hearing from you!
I have taught from year 1 to year 7 in schools as a class teacher. I have also worked as a SEN teacher, working with children in small groups and individually to meet their needs. I have taught English as a Second Language to children from across Europe. I have provided SATs booster classes in school and currently work in school as part of the national catch-up programme.
I tutor children via the Local Authority and privately.
Working 1:1 with children, away from the main classroom setting, is extremely rewarding as I can personalise learning according to each individual's needs. I have an extensive range of resources to draw upon and always aim to build on each child's strengths and increase their confidence to make learning a positive experience.
