Katy

I live in Hereford and have done so all of my life apart from when I moved to Swansea for university. I love living here and the only thing that would make it better is if we were closer to the seaside!

I'm a new mum and I am loving my new job of being a mother to my incredible daughter and I'm looking for ways to financially support us so I can take a full year off with her.

Tutoring Experience

I've been teaching full time for 10 years. I am an English specialist and I am very passionate about writing, but I also love teaching Maths.

I have completed mastery Maths training over the years and have a variety of strategies to allow students to really understand the basics of Maths so that things that once seemed complex become second nature. I am experienced in supporting children to progress rapidly in preparation for the multiplication check in Year 4 and have seen the positive impact of children knowing their times tables fluently.

I am passionate about writing and I have a great deal of experience of using the Talk for Writing approach to support pupils with these skills. I have also worked with a number of students for whom English is a second language; I have strategies and resources to support with the acquisition of the English language,

Tutoring Approach

I am keen to encourage children to find joy in their learning and to enjoy every achievement, no matter how big or small. I find that I can quickly form positive relationships with children which supports the learning environment.
