I am an enthusiastic, experienced and child-centered, UK qualified primary school teacher. I offer a bespoke program of COVID Catch-up in the core areas of the primary curriculum. I will spend the first three sessions getting to know your child, assessing their understanding and making a very personalised plan for the next sessions. I will bring your child up to the expected standards or push them way above the targets. I also offer some children the opportunity to work with me on exam preparation, such as entrance exams, GL assessments allowing your child to practice and fully understand how to complete the tests. My availability is limited as I only take on a few new children each term. My ultimate aim and goals is for your child to develop all of their potential and to work alongside me as their friendly but focussed tutor/ teacher.

As a Former Teacher of 4 years, I taught hundreds of KS2 children, 7-11 years old in Years 3 to 6, in London Schools and achieved my Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) at an OFSTED Outstanding School in North London.
I attained my Primary PGCE (Postgraduate Certificate in Education) from UCL Institute of Education (IOE) - the Number 1 University for Education worldwide, in London.
I teach in line with the National Curriculum and to simultaneously help young people develop a growth mindset, as Stanford Professor Carol Dweck promotes and teaches so well. This encourages them to be independent, resilient, confident individuals, with bright futures ahead of them, who feel motivated to make a unique difference in this world!
For my Secondary Education, I successfully passed my Eleven Plus exam and attended a Girls Grammar School in Kent. There, I attained 10 A* and an A for my GCSEs and 3 A grades at A-Level, in Biology, Chemistry and www.*** ;

My Teaching Philosophy: Holistic Education, Combining Self Development and Academics
I completed a Life Coaching course at University of Cambridge and through sharing what I am also continually learning from my own coaches and mentors, I have been a Life Coach for 9 years, helping ladies to empower themselves, overcome limiting beliefs and achieve their personal, relationship and career www.*** ;
I help my students and coaching clients in Life Skills, to grow a motivational mindset and actively apply it, to:
1. Personal Wellbeing: Spiritual/Self Development, Mental/Physical Health
2. Relationships
3. Work or School/Further Studies
Therefore I am a Holistic Educator and www.*** ;
I teach my students and coaching clients tips, tools and techniques for:
- time management, goal-setting
- anger/stress management and controlling emotions like fear, worry and anxiety
- confidence and developing a resilient growth mindset to deal with difficulties, failures and challenges
- prioritising, problem-solving and productivity tips to avoid procrastination
- questioning and communication skills
My Teaching Philosophy: Using Metacognition and Feedback to Achieve Goals
I teach my students and coaching clients 'metacognition': thinking about their thinking and learning to learn. I identify their gaps in learning/misconceptions, make them aware of WHAT they need to improve on, provide accessible help on HOW they can improve and MODEL/CLARIFY what success looks www.*** ;
Effective feedback connects my students to the three foundational aspects of achieving their academic goals:
1) Where am I going? (What is my goal?)
2) How am I going? (Where am I at now? What am I doing well? What is holding me back?)
3) Where to next? (What do I need to do to progress from where I am now to achieving my goal?)
My Teaching Style: Focused and Fun and a Personal Approach to Tutoring
With a personality that is warm, friendly, adventurous and animated, I’m able to engage my students in a way that lessons are not only focused on academic progress but also interactive, exciting and enjoyable. When we enjoy ourselves we learn better, we remember what we learn and we can apply our learning dynamically, with www.*** ;
I also like to get to know my students - their hobbies, interests, favourite books, films etc because I place the development of a tutor-student relationship mutual trust and respect, first and foremost. Therefore I ensure I am up-to-date on any of their significant life events, as well as in-tune with any important thoughts/feelings on their mind, as this all effects learning. I believe this is a more, authentic, friendly and successful approach to education.
A little more about me and what I like doing outside of teaching and coaching:
- Spending time with family and friends
- Avid Reader
- Writing (especially poetry – 1000 rhyming poems written since 2016)
- Cooking from a variety of cultures and cuisines
- Singing
Successful people don’t do different things, they do things - differently.
My aim is to help my students achieve their academic goals and love learning, through independent thinking, confidence, resilience, determination and enthusiasm. What makes me different from many tutors is that I also prepare my students for life outside the four walls of a classroom. By remembering and applying what I teach, they can keep evolving their potential every day, be happy and successful and help others too, to make a difference in this www.*** ;
Yours faithfully,
Sonal www.*** ;

A few testimonials from recent past and current clients (more are available to view on my website)
"I just want to send my thanks for offering us online tutoring via Skype. Following a few weeks of face to face lessons, a change in circumstances meant my daughter wouldn’t be able to attend for 3 weeks. Rather than have to cancel you offered us online lessons which I was happy to accept, but to be honest a little sceptical. I shouldn’t have been. The lessons are structured really well and work perfectly using webcams and online learning tools. You’ve done a really great job of keeping the lessons interesting but also really www.*** ; We’re happy to continue with our online lessons and have now booked more for the Easter holidays. We highly recommend them and Nicola to anyone."

"Nicola has been tutoring my daughter for about 6 www.*** ; She makes her lessons fun and during lockdown her online zoom lessons have been invaluable. My daughter was lacking confidence in maths and literacy and Nicola is really helping her to build confidence, especially in maths which she has made good progress in. I would highly recommend Nicola and her friendly and fun approach to learning."
Year 3, July 2020
"Nicola has provided excellent maths tuition to our daughter who is in year 8 and we would highly recommend her to anyone who is thinking about having tuition for their child . She has provided wonderful support and we have seen our daughter’s progress with her maths improve dramatically since starting tuition with Nicola; she has really made a big difference and our daughter’s confidence with her maths is far greater than before. We moved from face to face tuition to online tuition as a result of the COVID-19 situation and this transition has proven extremely successful. Our daughter has continued to thrive with her maths with the online tuition and she really enjoys using the online tools and interaction during her sessions, we have been very impressed with this method. We would highly recommend Nicola’s tuition service and would like to say how grateful we are for her continuing support, professionalism and calm approach; she continues to be a welcome source of relief for our daughter, who before her tuition was finding maths a struggle but now has the understanding and interest to develop and learn and enjoy this subject."
Year 8, July 2020
"Nicola has provided very thoughtful, thorough Maths tuition for our son in year 6. She has really been creative in the sessions, thinking of personally tailored ways to engage his interest. She has a kind manner and has helped to build his confidence as well as his ability. For a child who thought he couldn`t stand Maths, I`ve been amazed by how much he has enjoyed his lessons. The online lessons have worked brilliantly too."

Perceptual difficulties affect not only reading, spelling, maths and handwriting but a whole range of everyday functioning, including self-esteem and behaviour.
Research recognises that early learning experiences affect later development and if one stage is missed out or not fully grasped, the future development may be impaired and the individual has to find ways to compensate. The Perceptual Enrichment Programme has been designed to integrate the different stages of perceptual development, to develop neural pathways and to stimulate the frontal processing area of the brain.
When a child learns to relate to the world he or she passes through various stages of development, each stage building upon the previous one. Concrete operations such as matching, remembering, recognising familiar shapes in unfamiliar settings, identifying a whole object from it's parts and understanding how shapes relate to each other, are all a basis for understanding increasingly more complex concepts. For example, in order to think in abstract terms, one must have a firm understanding of how parts go together to make a whole, and to categorize, one must be able to observe detail.
Initially if a child is unable to see how parts go together to make a whole, or is unable to sequence, he or she may find it difficult to see how letters go together to make words, and how words combine to make sentences.
