Jane Elizabeth

I am a qualified, experienced and enthusiastic school teacher and tutor. I graduated with an Honours degree in Education and English from Birmingham University.

I tutor English and Maths to children with special educational needs, such as autism, ADHD, speech delay, dyslexia, dyspraxia, children who have gaps in their learning and who may be struggling at school, children who may need their confidence building, and children who may need to be challenged more, as well as children being home - schooled. I teach English at EYFS, Key Stages 1, 2 and 3, and English and Verbal Reasoning for 11+ preparation. I teach English for Functional Skills exams. I teach English as a second language to children and adults. I tutor Maths at EYFS, and Key Stages 1 and 2.

Tutoring Approach

I identify the precise educational needs of the student. I plan my lessons meticulously, ensuring that these needs are addressed. I implement traditional and innovative teaching methods. I take into account the student's learning styles and interests, enabling them to engage and focus well, while enriching their learning experience. They consequently feel empowered and successful whilst achieving their personal best. I continually monitor their performance and progress, and give detailed feedback after each lesson.
