Hello! My name is Tamara and I am a primary teacher from Toronto, Canada. I have been living and teaching in the UK since 2015. I have taught Foundation Stage, Year 1, Year 2, Year 4/5 as well as covered across all other year groups in KS2. I also have experience teaching Functional Skills Maths to adults 16-21. Alongside teaching, I have been tutoring for the past 8 years across all primary year groups as well as secondary year groups. I absolutely love teaching and believe that children learn best when their interests are considered. I tailor my tuition to each child, using their interests and their academic and emotional needs to plan a program that works for them. I have worked with children with special educational needs, including Autism Spectrum Disorder and Dyslexia.
After 21 years in a primary school classroom I became disillusioned with the school system. I was being told to teach in a way that didn't suit me but more importantly, didn't suit some of my pupils. A 'one size fits all' approach wasn't working and I became as frustrated as my pupils. Then the pandemic hit and the couple of hours after school tuition I had been doing became a full time job. My pupils flourished, made great progress, their confidence grew and I felt like myself again. I therefore started Pipkin Tuition and came out of school for good. Since then I've helped lots of children achieve their potential with smiles on their faces. I help with general concerns and progress across the primary age range, undertake SATs, 7 + and 11+ preparation and have recently helped pupils predicted 3s or 4s to pass their Maths GCSE. All my sessions take place via Zoom, focussing on building confidence and fluency before moving on to looking at the knowledge and skills required by the National Curriculum.

About our owner and founder
I am a committed, enthusiastic and friendly tutor/mentor with 30 years of teaching experience and up to date knowledge of teaching methods. Since graduating from the University or Reading in 1992, I have taught in a variety of Norfolk schools - both primary and secondary (including an American school here in the U. K.). I have a proven track record of improving pupil achievement in maths and am able to offer tailor-made tuition to meet individual pupil needs - whether the student is struggling to keep up at school, developing confidence or preparing for exams.
Home Educated children I am happy to work with home educators and their children. As home educating families often have very individual requirements, please get in contact if you would like to discuss options for daytime sessions. I also offer discounts for home educated students taking lessons during school hours (9am-3pm) on weekdays in term-time. Please contact me for details.
Due to the popularity of services, I now operate Discovery Tutors in order to be able to meet the demands of existing and future clients. All of the tutors have been personally vetted by me, have enhanced DBS checks and undergo child protection training.

/ Jane W.
I have considerable experience teaching in the UK and in various other countries around the world within Africa, Asia and the Caribbean in a variety of subjects from A Level to Key Stage 1. Most of my teaching has been at Key Stages 4 and 5 in Secondary Schools in the UK but I have also taught Primary children in preparation for Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 SATs. I am a very passionate educator and believe in the importance of inspiring young people to develop a love of learning. It is so important to use any prior knowledge or experience to help students, whatever age, to understand, question and think about the facts, not just to learn them. I have an excellent track record when it comes to preparing students for exams - whether these be A Level or GCSE exams or Key Stage tests, and although my teaching goes far beyond 'teaching to the test' I do recognise the importance, particularly in a tutoring situation, of doing whatever I can to help young people to reach their full potential and achieve the best grades possible. Whatever your particular requirements, I will be very happy to help and support you to the best of my ability.
Qualified Oxford graduate - degree in education and English.
Over 20 years experience as a teacher of English, leader of English departments and Literacy co-ordinator.
I started my career teaching children with special needs and specialised in those with emotional, social and behavioural difficulties. This was my specialsilst graduate study subject and led to my first management and leadership responsibilities.
My first job was teaching a class of 11-12 year olds who had not managed to achieve a national curriculum level in English and maths in year 6. By the end of year 7, they all achieved at least a level 3, with most acheiving a level 4 or 5. My value added was the highest in the school.
I learned through experience the power of small group work rather than simply 1-1, but led by inspirational leadership: builidng trust, self-confidence and the layering of skills to support their individual learning which is why I encourage group tutoring as the most powerful way to learn outside of regular class learning.
