Qualified former primary school teacher with 8 years of teaching experience (including training years) across a range of year groups including Early Years (Reception). Hi, i'm Mariyam. I always knew I wanted to be a teacher, so I studied to teach children of a primary school age for 3 years at a great university. I have been a qualified teacher since I was 21 and have 8 years in total of teaching experience, including my training years.
Feel free to enquire about other primary school subjects, including History, Geography and RE.
The best part of educating is knowing you're making a difference to a child's learning and helping to set them up for a successful future.

Hello! I am a medical student who's looking to begin tutoring. I have experience with working with younger people as I am a mentor with Target Medicine wherein I help 16-18 year olds with their applications to medical school. I am also a volunteer with Education for Choice UCL, in which I go to schools around London and provide workshops on abortion and contraception.
I tutor in Psychology (up to A-Level), Chemistry and Biology (up to GSCE level), English and Maths (primary level to KS3)
The first session is free so your child can see whether I'm the right fit for them. My start date for taking on students is the beginning of June.
If you have any questions or would like further information, don't hesitate to get in contact with me, I reply quickly :)

I am patient, enthusiastic, self-motivated and reliable and have developed a sound rapport with my students. I have come to teaching as a career changer later in life, having worked in the PR/journalism industry for a number of years, which has held me in good stead and provides life experience outside the classroom and curriculum. You will find me to be an affable, good-humoured and dedicated tutor with an engaging manner and a creative and diligent approach to planning tasks and lessons.

Literacy, Maths, and Reading lessons in London, UK. I am Jane, a local woman with more than 20 years experience as a qualified teacher working with children and young people in South London. I have a passion for education, equality and environment. By environment I mean how our learning environments affect how we are able to thrive in our lives.
I currently teach students from KS1-KS3. I can support transition to secondary school with summer sessions and weekly lessons after school to support study skills.
I specialise in teaching students with additional needs, and I base my approach on child centred practices. I offer well being and emotional regulation sessions for students who would benefit from this.
I have personal and professional experience of teaching and learning, health issues and equality issues. These are at the forefront of my practice.
SEND became an unofficial specialism throughout the years. I am currently studying my second degree with the British Dyslexia Association to be come a specialist teacher. I have a fully stocked classroom in my studio in my garden at home.
Face to face tutoring
Face to face tutoring in the classroom at my home to help your child to reach their full potential in school learning. A focus on reading, writing and maths as needed. I have a fully stocked classroom with resources, books and games to help your child learn.
Online tutoring
Online one to one lessons via Zoom for those who are unable to meet face to face.
Online tutoring and support with reading and spelling
Each month gain unlimited access to personalised learning on the Word Shark platform, including an initial assessment, unlimited access to the learning games, individualised spelling lists so your child is working at their own level, ongoing assessment to track your child’s progress, weekly teacher support from myself and regular telephone support.
Family support navigating the education system, especially SEND
Having experienced both sides of SEND provision, I am offering support to those who are currently navigating it. This may be in the form of sign-posting, moral support, advocacy and support with letter writing etc.
Family support with befriending and behaviour management
When your child is struggling or receives a diagnosis everything can become overwhelming. I can come alongside you to help you through the practicalities at home, including tips and strategies for behaviour management, parent self care, and information that will help you and your child thrive.
My schedule is currently full.

Excellent references on request. Kind, caring and understanding tutor. Please get in contact if your child needs a boost, is finding school challenging or needs to gain confidence in their learning. All attainment levels- from children working below age related expectations to children who are more able.
Happy to chat through your requirements. As a mother of four, who also uses tutoring for my own children, I understand that tutoring is a significant financial commitment but, through one to one lessons, your child will be able to learn in a highly personalised and safe environment and will thrive.
High success rate of helping children to gain places at their school of choice.

Using my knowledge and experience of having taught all ages of the Primary Curriculum - from Nursery to Primary 7 - along with my passion for working with children, I strive to provide the very best level of teaching and learning for every individual I work with. I believe that building solid basic foundations in Literacy and Numeracy gives children the tools to access the wider curriculum with confidence. Tapping into and understanding the ways in which each individual child learns and progresses is key. Every child is an individual, therefore every lesson is tailored to the child, ensuring the right balance of success and challenge is met in each session, thus developing knowledge, skills and most importantly confidence for the child. Getting to know children and building a rapport with each individual is paramount, as is understanding the way in which the each child learns best - through active learning, written methods, talking, listening, reading, watching, doing. The initial tutorial session will be exploratory, consulting with parents to discuss the child’s requirements and areas needing more support and development. I use a variety of resources during tutorial sessions to aid and reinforce teaching points - for example, magnetic alphabetic letters and boards; flash cards; Dienes hundreds, tens and units cubes; Numicon; Seal Maths; Jolly Phonics; Oxford Reading Tree books; Read, Write, Inc resources; Schofield & Sims and CGP workbooks. Each tutorial session starts with a welcoming ‘check-in’ as to how the child is feeling that day and how their day has been, so that I can gauge the expectation for the session. I usually ask if there is anything in particular that the child wants to work on during the session - for example, there may be something that has been introduced in class at school that day/week that the child found confusing or difficult and wants specific help with or further explanation. I would then suggest a plan and learning intention / goal for our tutorial session that day. Teaching would then take the form of practical, written and oral work, ensuring understanding and comprehension as the lesson progresses. The pace of the lesson is very much tailored by my professional judgement and intuition as to how the child is responding and interpreting the work we are doing. A plenary at the end of the session to recap what we have worked on during that session and ensure understanding, is always extremely valuable. In consultation with parents, some request homework for their children, which I am happy to assign and mark. Weekly sessions are most successful, ensuring continuity and progression at a greater pace.

My primary specializaton is helping children gain entrance to their preferred secondary school by tutoring and supporting them to pass the entrance exams. I also tutor mathematics and English for ages 7-13, which is in high demand at the moment due to gaps in knowledge caused by the Covid pandemic.
I spent 6 years working in all age groups in primary school as well as 5 years working with adults teaching English as a second language. I have had much success teaching mathematics, English, eleven plus and secondary school entrance exams to children aged 7-13. I have a high pass rate aiding children to pass their 11 plus exam.
I am skilled at building pupils’ confidence in themselves and their ability to up-level their knowledge and gain success. I am experienced teaching both CEM and GL style 11 Plus English, Maths, Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning.
I use a pupil-centred approach and cater lessons to meet the needs of the individual, producing rapid results. I have experience working with special needs children and have a particular understanding of the needs of autistic children.
I am a caring, friendly and approachable tutor, giving quality feedback regarding the educational level of the pupil and what the next steps are to achieving their targets. I thoroughly enjoy working with pupils and seeing them grow and flourish brings me much satisfaction.

Qualifications
Currently undertaking Masters level research into trauma related dyslexia

My background and journey
Before working for myself I ran a youth work charity in Cumbria for 10 years, and also worked to empower young people to become active with volunteering in their local community. I taught Psychology at GCSE, A-level, Degree and Post Graduate levels. I have also worked within the homeless sector and within the adult education system coordinating learning support in the same role a SENDCO would have in a school.
My areas of expertise are in dyslexia, trauma and mental health, confidence building, motivation and one to one work. My ability to think outside the box when engaging people means that I capture peoples imagination and show them how they can motivate themselves to be successful. My experience in the Army has also honed my self determination and efficiency.
I am dyslexic, although I wasn’t assessed until I was an adult, I always suspected that I viewed the world in a slightly different way to others. I suspect I have elements of other SpLD's too which means that I have to put more effort into everyday life than most people. This means that I can truly empathise with the people I work with.
My adventure with dyslexia has taught me to understand that what I have to offer is unique and valuable because of my dyslexia, not despite my dyslexia! This is what I want to teach to our everyone in our community who is also neurodiverse.
I am also a mum to a very lively and humorous 10 yr boy. As a parent I understand the issues that parents have in trying to get their child's needs met, this coupled with my experience teaching and coordinating learning support which underpins my training as a dyslexia specialist and trauma and mental health practitioner means that I understand how parents and schools can work together to get the best for every child.
The package I offer
Each child has different needs and this is why I deliver bespoke packages to each person. I also include Dyslexia Gold in my packages and support inbetween lessons via an educational app called edmodo which parents can also have a loggin for so they can monitor all contact between me and a student.
If you have any quesstions, please contact me.

My approach to teaching is to make learning fun, meaningful and accessible for all regardless of ability.
I believe every child has the capability to achieve and it is the responsibility of the teacher to bring out the best in their students.
I adopt a child centred approach to teaching. I believe each child is unique so therefore teaching strategies need to be adapted to meet the needs of each child. I have 8 years experience with tutoring students from aged 6-18 years old. I have experience tutoring students with autism, learning difficulties and selective mutism.
I am also a Primary/Secondary school teacher. My specialism is: Primary English and Maths, A level Psychology, GCSE English and Maths.
I can provide range of fun, interactive resources online to support to students.
I use a resource called Microsoft Team which allows video call facility and instant messenger. This allows the student to have access to instant feedback and also virtual face to face lessons. Students also receive online certificates that they can print off at home.

Throughout university I have consistently achieved First Class marks in assignments, with some upper 2:1 level. Due to the ongoing marking boycott, I am yet to receive my final degree classification, however it is confirmed that I have guaranteed an upper 2:1.
At GCSE, I achieved full marks in 4 of the English Literature questions, and was in the highest www.*** of the country for English Literature. The rest of my grades consist of an 8, 4A*s, 2As, 1B.
I was offerd a place to study English Literature and Education Studies at Cambridge University (2020), however due to personal reasons I had to release this offer and defer. I instead studied a year later at Durham University, an extremely selective, world top university with extremely high standard teaching.
I will be commencing my Masters degree in Law at the University of Law next year.
I am dedicated and hard working, and my experience with tutoring, mentoring and as a teaching assistant means I am well experienced in adapting to different learning styles. I understand the importance of patience and adaptability when it comes to working with students of all ages, and I very much look forward to working with tuttees and their parents to ensure you get the most out of these sessions.
