Does your child struggle with reading? If you are interested in reading help for your early years or primary-age child, especially with phonics, you're in the right place!
I'm Kara, a passionate qualified teacher, online primary tutor, and phonics and reading expert. I support children with early reading and writing. My mission is to help children learn to read and write with enthusiasm and fun so their confidence and success rocket.
With my proven phonics support, I can help build your child’s confidence and help them learn to read. Why not book a free discovery call with me to find out more?
My teaching style is student-focused and I use an active learning approach. I use my knowledge of how children learn, and my years of experience to help children become confident learners by offering them the quality support they need. I encourage independent learning, and a growth mindset while guiding children on the tools to achieve their reading, writing, and spelling goals. My lessons are one-to-one tutoring or small group tutoring.
Some of the benefits of online tutoring are:
• Learning takes place in the comfort of your own home (no need for travel)
• learning is fun and interactive-both hands-on and digital resources
• Learning is personalised and tailored to your child's individual needs and learning style
• Learning is flexible, (although I plan for every lesson, sometimes the best lessons are in the moment and child-led topics)
Qualifications:
• Phonics and Reading Expert and Official Jigsaw Phonics Tutor, Phonics Expert Training and Certificate
• Literacy Specialist- Dyslexia and reading
• Master of Arts in Early Years Education, University College of London, UK
• Qualified Teacher Status, Primary Education, UK
• Bachelor of Arts in English Education, Kean University, USA
• 12 years of experience as a Primary teacher
• 10 years of experience as a Literacy teacher
• Enhanced DBS-current
• Member of The Tutors' Association since 2021
• 3 years of experience as an Online Primary/Literacy Tutor
Experience:
I am a fully qualified teacher with over 24 years of experience working with children of various backgrounds, learning differences, and abilities. While working as a KS1 primary teacher, I was inspired to help children develop their reading and writing skills and served as a Literacy leader and specialist. In 2020, I started my online tutoring business, Just 2 Imagine Tutors, to support children's literacy learning and help children learn to read with confidence. With online tutoring, I teach children from across the UK and overseas. I am a phonics and reading expert and an Official Jigsaw Phonics Tutor, having completed exclusive training. I also have experience working with children with Dyslexia and other learning differences.
I tutor online via Zoom. I live in Hampshire England and offer tutoring services to children ages 3-8 throughout the UK and Europe.
My message to students is that learning to read is a journey. I will help you build your confidence with reading and make learning to read fun. Learning to read is an essential skill, and I will aim to help you become a confident, fluent lifelong reader.

I have been teaching as a private tutor in the private education sector independently and through agencies across Hampshire for over fifteen years. I tutor full time and this is my business and full time career. Therefore, unlike many teachers who do a few private lessons here and there, I am fully committed and can spend all of my time preparing lessons and focusing on just my private students. I have taught children who are being home schooled, pupils who need some one to one tuition, group tuition, helped to run successful revision courses through an agency and prepared pupils for exams such as Common Entrance, GCSE's and SAT's (all of which I have had successful results with and have kept a record of.)
I have experience of working with several learning difficulties as well as behavioural problems.
I have taught in several schools across Hampshire and other areas of the country.
I am extremely familiar with The National Curriculum, different syllabuses and the variety of examination boards that schools use #/k#and stick to following these.
I have a firm, fun but fair approach to tuition and encourage pupils to work to the best of their ability through praise and reward. I always follow up lessons with advise on what areas need to be improved upon, followed by a positive and encouraging remark about the pupil's work so that confidence is not lost.
I enjoy providing parent's with continual progress reports after each session and offer advise as and when it is needed. I am happy to provide references on request.
I always offer an initial assessment before sessions commence so that I can get a general idea of how I can help the student, and for the student to see whether they like my teaching style. After the assessment, lessons are carefully planned and prepared to meet each individual's needs/requirements. Continual support via e mail is offered (especially for those special cases like exam times, which as we all know can be very stressful for the parent and the student.)

have been in my present post for seven years. During this time I have gained a wealth of experience across the school. I have been instrumental in developing the school’s sport and physical education over this period. I have created a curriculum which allows pupils to be excited and enriched, this includes a physical education programme, where pupils can be immersed with concepts and the use of modern technology to develop technical skills. They are encouraged to improve skills by fun, allowing them to have a stimulating experience. All lessons during the week are planned with many cross-curricular links across the school.

I am currently in in my 5th year of teaching. I specialise in English at my current school, and I have previously held the role of English lead. I have had experience teaching from years 3 -6 and I am happy to carry out SATs focused tutoring or prep school examination tutoring, if required. I am well informed around the current requirements in primary education. This could be beneficial towards ensuring your child has all tiers of learning appropriately covered. I have many resources for learning and the ability access to many more, appropriate to Maths and English learning. Currently being an active teacher will inform accurate curriculum learning within my tutoring sessions. I am a friendly and approachable person, with children’s learning interests at heart. I will be delighted to bring a professional learning environment to the comfort of your own home. You can be assured of full professional conduct and outstanding tutoring to benefit your child’s needs. I am happy to tutor twilight session on specific weekdays and I am available on weekends also. Please refer to my availability.

Basic Maths, Reading, and Writing lessons in Southampton, UK.
I have over 7 years experience in teaching the primary age range in the state education sector.
I am extremely knowledgeable on the National curriculum and in planning, delivering and assessing your child's ability. I will take an initial assessment to see where they are in their learning - their strengths and areas they need to develop and create a personalised program for them to progress at that right speed for them as an individual.
I have used many different programs in my career such as Mastery maths, White Rose maths, FFT phonics and Little Wandle as well as creating my own activities
I enjoy making lessons creative and with real life contexts so that the children can see the purpose for their learning ready for when they enter the adult world. I like to keep the lessons at a good pace to maximise their concentration and focus. A good light hearted sense of humor with positive encouragement is the approach I find works best for when I tutor to provide the child with self-esteem and confidence in themselves.
I look forward to hearing from you.
