I am a practicing primary school teacher with over 20 years experience in London and Kent schools, with children from Reception to Year 6. I therefore have an excellent knowledge of the Primary curriculum and a range of effective teaching strategies. Lessons offered in Primary English, Maths and Phonics, as well as preparing students for 7+ and 11+ entrance exams. I have experience teaching children with autism, ADHD and dyslexia.
I am a fully qualified primary school teacher with over 10 years of experience. I have a huge passion for teaching and find it most rewarding to see children progress and excel under my guidance.
I offer tuition in the following areas:
- English
- Maths
- Creative Writing
- Year 6 SATs
- 11+ Entry Exams (Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning)
- Interview Preparation
Every child deserves an opportunity to reach their maximum potential. In addition to focusing on a child`s academic progress, I always look for opportunities to boost their confidence and self-esteem - as these are crucial for a holistic development. Difficult concepts are broken down in smaller ones through scaffolding using different techniques differentiated according to each child`s individual need. It is important to push each child past their comfort zone, and I do exactly that with the students I tutor by challenging them in different ways. I tutor children across the primary phase, all the way from teaching how to read and write in English, to solving complex problems in Maths, to preparing them for their upcoming SATs or 11+ exams.
I tailor my lessons to cater for each child's individual needs. I have a gentle and friendly approach towards children and I always look for ways to help them make connections between the things they learn and for them to develop a love for learning. I believe that every child is truly special and unique. I have successfully tutored children with specific learning needs, as well as children that have English as an additional language. All my students have made excelled progress in their studies, therefore most of my students come from personal recommendations of happy parents :)
Hello, an online/onsite certified TESOL/TEFL/lingusitics and literature teacher, I have been teaching English for more than seven years. I also completed BA English literature and BS English linguistics & literature. I worked for different platforms including Amazing talker, Livestream, liveXP, Italki and Chinese schools such as YOXI online school and schools from Thailand Bristol Bangkok, Bristol Myanmar as well as companies from Vietnam Antoree and ispeak; I also teach private students from around the world.
My lessons are fun and focused and laser targeted towards your aims. We always take time at the beginning to discuss and assess where you are at with your English and to devise the most effective way forward. I am available at any time between lessons to answer queries, or generally to discuss matters. All materials, papers and marking are included. whatsapp in letters (zero seven four four six one six four zero nine) +44744616409 whatsapp me.
My Psychology degree and 9 years of experience working with children with Neuro-divergence and additional educational needs prior to teaching have significantly shaped my approach to teaching.
I prioritise relationship building and trust with students and their caregivers.
I am patient, kind, and incredibly encouraging but have high expectations. I work with students for them to also gain high expectations in themselves. This may happen in the first few sessions or may take a longer period of time depending on the student.
I help students gain high expectations for themselves by initially giving tasks where they are guaranteed success, then celebrating and reflecting on this success and how they were able to use the skills taught and their effort to complete the task. This builds a persons confidence and significantly increases the likelihood of attempting more difficult tasks. This is heavily proven by research (and seen in my classroom daily) known as the “theory of self efficacy” and the “theory of planned behaviour”.
If a person does not believe a task is within their capability, they are incredibly unlikely to even attempt it (No matter how much we believe they can do it).
It is my job to SHOW students they can do it by designing tasks and lessons in a way that they feel challenged finish with pride in their achievements.
When teaching new skills I will show them first, then we will complete a task together, then they will apply the skills independently. I will be constantly assessing as they work independently and provide support where necessary. The ultimate goal is to phase back my support until they are using the taught skills correctly, consistently, confidently and independently.
Lessons will vary depending on students needs. If caregivers want to spend a percentage of the lesson to discuss, that will be agreed upon. If there are specific targets you want me to cover then we can dedicate time for you to tell me these expectations. If you would prefer me to assess your student and gage where the gaps are and plan accordingly, that is also ok.
I would suggest an initial session to meet, and discuss goals.
Some classes you may benefit from:
-SATs Prep
-Phonics
-Reading (comprehension, vocabulary, inferencing, predictions, explaining, retrieval, sequencing, summarising, making links, authors intent)
-Spelling
-Grammar (or Spelling and grammar combined)
-Maths
-Maths (arithmetic)
-Maths (Reasoning and Problem solving)
-Target specific - has your teacher said there are targets you need to work on in various subjects?
-Science
-History
-Geography
-Psychology (GCSE, A Level)
Is your child in secondary school but needs support in the foundation subjects such as reading, writing or maths?
Reading and writing is an essential skills in secondary school for every subject. I can support your child to close the gap so they can access all subjects with their peers. Having worked in secondary schools before, I have seen how much students are required to read and write in all lessons, but there will not be opportunities to learn these fundamental skills at school.
I welcome students of all ages (including adults) from all backgrounds and of all abilities.
I look forward to meeting you soon and celebrating the amazing progress ahead!

I qualified from the University of Winchester with a first-class honours degree and have now been teaching for six years! I have taught in both Key Stage One and Key Stage Two and therefore have a vast understanding of the curriculum and how to support a range of children's needs. As I have been KS1 lead I have an excellent understanding of the KS1 SATS and Phonics Screening Check and how to support and prepare children for these exams. I therefore have a secure understanding of Phonics and how to teach children early reading and writing skills. During my teaching time I have been in charge of Maths for the school, so I have a range of resources and tools to support children in developing their mathematical skills. I would love to share my knowledge and expertise with you to either challenge your child further or to support them in areas of need.
