I also offer home schooling sessions to individuals who are unable to access the mainstream education system, whether it be from a SEND need, a preference or from anxiety, for example.

Since my both of my daughters were diagnosed with dyslexia, I became aware of the challenges they faced every day in the classroom. This in its self spurred me on to become the year 6 teacher I am today. One who will never give up trying to find new and exciting ways to help children learn. Mainly, my forte it's SATs prep, which I've been doing for 7 years helping children not only pass their exams, but instilling confidence within to flourish for the rest of their educational careers. I also have a specialism in supporting the progress of children who have particular needs. Such experience I feel enables me to teach in a very diverse way, resulting in a bespoke tutoring approach that will inevitably enrich your child's educational career.
I have been teaching in primary schools for the last 16 years, predominantly in Year 6. I also tutor online and at home.

KS3 - GCSE - A-levels (Maths & Science)
I have been teaching for 16 years and understand the blocks that many young people face when studying mathematics. I have a passion for teaching maths and love breaking down difficult topics so they are accessible.
I am a qualified teacher and I enjoy working as a SEN teacher finding it a very rewarding career even though it is challenging sometimes.
The ability to guide a generation of young people to achieve their goals is something very special and a role I cherish, even if it does call for a high level of effort and dedication. I work closely with young people who, due to physical impairments, behavioural issues or learning disabilities require additional support in some, or all, of the aspects of their schooling. I take responsibility for the education and welfare of a class of students in accordance with the requirements of the National Curriculum and school policies. In addition to the knowledge and training to provide a high standard of education, I believe that my duty is to understand how to best work one-on-one with pupils and ensure that, at all times, they feel their learning environment is a safe and a supportive one.
I believe that communication is an important skill in teaching especially in SEN education, which I have gained it by working closely with parents and guardians liaise with other professionals, such as social workers, speech and language therapists, physiotherapists and educational psychologists. Also, I feel that the patience and empathy are some of the skills needed for this position. Every student learns at all different rates and as an educator I would apply persistence and patience to support the student’s learning. Since training as a teacher and working experiences, I have gained ICT skills in regards to the ability to switch on a computer, log in and connect to the appropriate platforms and programs; using ICT hardware to scan, print and copy documents; using a digital camera to capture photographs or video footage; editing images using computer software; using a search engine such as Google to find information; using computers and the internet safely, for example, keeping personal information private, and avoiding viruses, identity theft and other online threats.
I believe that all leaners benefit from motivation, inspiration and challenge. I follow this by applying positive reinforcement www.*** by praising for every right action made or giving them another try. This is a way that students can promote a good progress and outcomes. Encouraging activities such as social stories will help in behavioural development of verbal and non -verbal children, which is very important as early detection can improve communication skills. Students are supported in a variety of different ways as appropriate to their needs which include individual support, in small groups and in class. Base on National Curriculum, I am matching the learning to the needs and abilities of the students using a range of strategies to develop the pupils’ knowledge, understanding and skills including the use of ICT. I focus on the well- structured lessons and I am adapting learning materials such as worksheets, books and activities to suit the students’ needs. As a class teacher, I continually assess each child and note areas where they are improving and where further support is needed. To manage behaviour effectively in the class, I have to make myself consistent and predictable- in lesson structure and in how I intervene and respond- this means having a lot of emotional control; avoiding the complex language, being plain and simple and use of imagery will help in keeping calm students with challenging behaviour. I encourage positive friendships- my own friendship with students as well as helping them makes positive relationships themselves. Modelling the appropriate behaviour I want to maintain in class means that it was established a good and safe learning environment for all students.
I am actively involved in the curriculum, implementing it in the classroom, blending theory with practice for the students’ best learning and understanding.
My professional integrity is based on acting with honesty in all aspects of my work and respect the privacy of others as well as being committed to equality and inclusion and to respecting and accommodating diversity including those differences arising from gender, civil status, family status, sexual orientation, religion, age, race etc. I am a caring, fair and committed to the best interests of the students entrusted to their care, and seek to motivate, inspire and celebrate effort and success seeking to develop positive relationships with students, colleagues, parents, school management, or others in the school community. I work to establish and maintain a culture of mutual trust and respect. I am committed to promoting and safeguarding the welfare of students by protecting them from abuse and maltreatment, preventing harm to their health or development and creating environment that meets the special educational needs of each student.
Flexibility and adaptability are two qualities I possess and I think they go hand in hand with one another. The more flexible a teacher’s approach, the better students are able to adapt to the room and the higher the chances are of increased student participation and engagement- ensuring that no student gets left behind.
Some of my qualities I possess are patience, enthusiasm, dedication, creativity and sense of humour. Patience is the key because it can be often tested when working with students with complex needs such as refusal, confrontation, aggression, repetition. But hand in hand with that is the incredible reward when I see progress. After weeks of activities around how to read and write the initial sound /s/ the moment that student, completely unprompted, makes a sound like a snake… it’s all worth it. It is my job as a teacher to inspire the children in my care so at 8:50 we start the show with enthusiasm no matter how exhausted we feel. One of my favourite things about teaching children with Special Needs is that you get more freedom with what you teach and how you teach it. It really is all about the individual child and finding a way to inspire them, enabling them to understand the concept. Creating multi- sensory activities are fantastic- giant story sacks, singing and dancing, cooking and eating and of course anything that involves of bit of mess.
Teaching children with Special Needs is not super easy so I will not last 2 minutes without a sense of humour. If you don’t laugh, you will cry!
All these qualities are essential to any type of teaching, but you need an extra measure of each of them to succeed in a Special Needs environment. Teaching in a SEN School is a challenging job, but it is by a long way the most rewarding.

Support from a skilled tutor makes the world of difference to a child's learning. SATS preparation, absence catch-up, SEND. I am an experienced primary tutor, successful at helping children achieve mastery of tricky subjects.
I trained as a Primary teacher in 2018, when I did my PGCE at the University of Brighton. Before that, I was a successful marketer and a Psychology graduate. But, I wanted to make a difference in children's lives, so I made the decision to switch careers and it is the best decision I have made.
My ability to form a relationship with learners, assess their needs and provide fun, and exciting learning comes from my robust experience across a range of robust primary settings. I can teach children with SEND and other additional needs.
I have a great track record of instilling progress and a love of learning in kids. I believe learning should be fun, carefully structured and have just the right balance of teacher support and pupil independence. I praise, reward and celebrate my learners achievements and I want them to feel the same.
I can teach a range of locations in West Sussex (Chichester, Bognor, Shoreham, Worthing, Horsham, Littlehampton) and online. I will also work alongside your child's school curriculum.

My goal is to always ensure that my students are enjoying their lessons and what they are learning. Achieving this ensures that my students can gain confidence and independence, and thus they are able to learn independently. I also teach my students organisational and study skills that can help them achieve improved results and that can help them in their future educational journeys. I am experienced in teaching students of various levels and in various numbers. I have had experience teaching classes with 10+ students as well as teaching individual students in one-to-one sessions via online platforms or in-person. Through my patience and ability to break complicated problems into small understandable information, I can provide my students with easy solutions to the problems they are facing and struggling with. I also believe in the "practice makes perfect" approach and therefore I tend to challenge my students to ensure that they get "the best" results instead of only "good" results. As a result, I always try to give my students something to work on before meeting them again. Finally, through my experience, I have been blessed by attaining considerable love and respect from my students and I have been proud of seeing plenty of improved results and a change in the mentalities of my students.
