I am 38 years old and live in Brockley, south east London. I am the pastoral lead in a local Lewisham primary school and have vast experience of supporting the learning experiences of children aged 4-11. I support main class teaching as well as providing numerous interventions that improve both literacy and numeracy skills. I have 2 daughters of my own and so understand how important it is to build a child's confidence and offer them additional support to help with their learning.

Tutoring Experience

I have worked within a Primary school setting for the past 16 years and have worked with every year group. I understand that children need to be internally motivated and what works for one won't necessarily work for another. I have plenty of experience of working with children that find it a little tricky to keep up with the pace of the main class and through specific interventions I am able to support these children with their learning and strengthen their understanding of core subjects.

Tutoring Approach

Children learn best when they feel successful and that's how I want every child to feel at the end of each session! Every child has a different learning style and I think it is important that sessions be tailored to their specific need rather than an impersonal generic computer generated session that won't have any impact. I like to have a fairly relaxed first session whereby we can get to know each other and find out strengths and weaknesses though fun games opposed to worksheets.
