I am a primary school teacher offering some tutoring sessions to children who would benefit from some extra support, help and practise.
Phonics and Maths lessons in Bridgwater, UK.
Online Phonics Tutors
I have extensive experience over 34+ years in both the public and private sectors (in the UK, New Zealand & China) as a curriculum leader, classroom teacher, small group ESL lesson tutor - as well as my own private tuition throughout that period with all ages and abilities of students.
Some of my styudents have been with me for 4 years. In some cases, I have taught several kids and the parents in the same family.
For the last 5+ years I have been teaching online. Once again, I am now totally freelance.
All of my students have been at the very centre of my purpose. I model open mindedness and curiosity. I develop confident, relaxed progress on learning objectives in a positive, friendly yet focused environment. I attract parents and students that seek that style and pathway forward. I worked with Sasha for two years until they left Shanghai:
To Whom it May Concern
It is with pleasure that I write this letter of recommendation for Gary R..
Gary has been a tutor for our son Sasha for the last 2 years, 2 times each week to boost Sasha's Mathematic achievements and to help in adapting to a new curricula system (as a result of changing a school internationally). Sasha was struggling with stress, performing low at school, especially at Math.
Though Gary's careful support during that period our son gained confidence and reached a level of aptitude in Math and other subjects (like Science) that would have seemed impossible 2 years ago.
Gary is a very professional and competent teacher. Along with being organized and prepared, Gary has the ability to quickly build a positive rapport with his students and he is well-liked and respected by them. He is a teacher who inspires the children with his intelligence, enthusiasm, humor and creativity.
I would highly recommend Gary R. as a private tutor.
Sincerely, Iryna Severenchuk Guinot
I have worked in the smallest and the largest schools; the most humbling special needs schools and the high-pressure academic variety. I have worked with children from age 3 to 15 of many nationalities and socio-economic backgrounds.
I have decided to see if TutorExtra has improved in the last 2 years since I first looked at it. Fingers crossed.

AUGUST 2009 – JULY 2010
FUDAN WANKE EXPERIMENTAL PRIVATE SCHOOL, SHANGHAI
A completely innovative and extraordinary role with the duties of a lead Kindergarten teacher in the Bi-lingual ‘C-BAN’ learning a mixture of Chinese, US, British and Singaporean curriculum in a special programme - at the time available only to Non-Chinese Nationals within this Private Chinese School. With three classes, C-Ban was in its infancy with few resources, no organisational structure and much innovation and initiative were required. I introduced and demonstrated the 'radical' concept of child-centred education. I created a reading library of hundreds of new books, with no support funding or training. I introduced the concept and the reality of integrating Educational Support Professionals, such as Educational Psychologists to support students. I introduced the soft carpet /soft furnishings area with the eager help of parents. I modernised the classroom layout away from the 'rows of desks' approach. Now there are twelve classes (- and a library). They have ‘modernised’ and now thrive.

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 :)

ESL, phonics, grammar, pronunciation, and vocabulary lessons in Leamington Spa, UK.
Hello and welcome to my tutoring profile. To give context, I was a Teaching Assistant for 15 years and worked across all areas of primary levels from Nursery up to year 6. I finished my career being the leading Teaching Assistant in neurodiverse children as I have a passion for all children to have the education they deserve. I am an extremely caring, empathetic person with a passion for children’s education.
I planned, delivered and evaluated focus groups on a daily basis, often with the purpose to encourage cooperative engagement with other pupils. In addition, I had key children, who I would track their journey, in order to ensure they were meeting the key markers set out in the curriculum.
I would liaise with parents/carers on a daily basis. I created exciting multi-sensory environments which inspired and aided classroom learning.
I’ve worked alongside a variety of teachers when working in years 4,5 & 6 which allowed me to familiarise myself with the KS2 curriculum. I have 5 years’ experience working in Year 6 giving me a wealth of understanding of preparation for SATS, with children across all abilities.
In addition, I ran the school choir and school eco group. With the choir they would perform in assemblies, nursing homes and the local community. The eco group tended an allotment alongside people in the community as well as projects of planting using recycled materials around the school.
I believe children’s education should be an all-rounded experience and we should invest in them wholly and wisely as they are our future generation.
If you are looking for someone who is dedicated to helping every child succeed in whatever they aim to achieve then look no further. I am passionate about helping children learn and am highly qualified to teach children up to GCSE level. I have had experience teaching children with SEND needs also so would be able to prepare a bespoke set of sessions for any individual. I ask any pupil who is looking for tutoring to to complete a short baseline test to give an accurate current picture of where they are starting from. A meeting with parents to negotiate timescale and to establish end goals is essential. I am able to come to a home if this is where the pupil may feel most comfortable or I am currently preparing a fresh space for learning at my residence which is due to be completed mid February. For more information, please contact me. I look forward to hearing from you! Mrs H M.

Welcome to my tutoring profile! With over 12 years of experience, I am a highly skilled primary school teacher specialising in English, Maths, and Phonics for children in Early Years, Key Stage 1 (KS1) and Key Stage 2 (KS2). I am passionate about helping young learners develop a strong foundation in these fundamental subjects. My expertise lies in guiding students through the intricacies of English language and literature, including reading comprehension, grammar, vocabulary building, and creative writing. I employ various interactive techniques to enhance their language skills and foster a love for reading. In the realm of Mathematics, I provide comprehensive support to students, covering topics such as arithmetic, problem-solving, geometry, and algebra. I employ hands-on approaches, visual aids, and real-life examples to make abstract concepts more relatable and enjoyable for students. Phonics, an essential component of early literacy, is another area where I excel. I employ proven strategies to develop students' phonemic awareness, letter-sound recognition, and blending skills. By fostering a strong foundation in phonics, I empower students to become confident readers and spellers. Throughout my teaching/ tutoring career, I have successfully worked with children of diverse learning abilities and backgrounds. I prioritise creating a supportive and engaging learning environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and exploring new concepts.

Over the last 8 years, I have had the privilege of working as both a class teacher and Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCO) in a respected UK prep school. My teaching experience spans across all years of Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2, providing me with a broad understanding of the curriculum and the developmental needs of students at various stages of their primary education.
As a class teacher, I have designed and delivered engaging and differentiated lessons to meet the diverse needs of students, ensuring that each child’s learning style is catered for. I’ve worked across a wide range of subjects, from English and mathematics to science and creative arts, always striving to make learning stimulating and accessible for all. My approach has always been to create a nurturing classroom environment where children feel confident, supported, and motivated to achieve their best.
In my role as SENCO, I have had the opportunity to support students with a variety of additional learning needs, including dyslexia, dyspraxia, autism spectrum disorder, and ADHD. I have worked closely with both teachers and parents to develop individualised education plans and targeted interventions, ensuring that all students have the resources and strategies they need to succeed. This role has also involved training staff on best practices for inclusive teaching and advocating for a whole-school approach to inclusion, making sure that every child is supported to reach their full potential, regardless of their challenges.
Throughout my career, I have been committed to personalising learning, helping every student feel valued and empowered. My experience as both a class teacher and SENCO has equipped me with the skills to be flexible, creative, and proactive in addressing the needs of all students, fostering an inclusive and supportive learning environment across Key Stage 1 and 2.
I am a passionate and enthusiastic teacher who has taught in a variety of academic settings across Early Years, Key Stage 1 and 2.
I firmly believe the children are the future and they deserve to be celebrated and receive the best support and guidance from us as educators so they can achieve their full potential.
Adaptability, flexibility and innovation are at the forefront of my lesson planning and teaching style and I have high expectations of both myself as a teacher and how the children apply themselves to their learning.
My teaching style reflects inclusive practice and I have experience teaching a number of SEND and EAL children.
I always strive to do my best for the children and I am a strong advocate for their overall wellbeing. My classroom, whether online or in person, provides a safe and positive environment which nurtures progress and allows the children to develop academically, socially and emotionally while also providing appropriate challenges.
I have over 10 years experience in education. I am currently a primary school teacher and a Literacy Leader. I have taught in Year 6 for years and have a wealth of experience in preparing children for their SATs in KS2 and KS1. I am creative and ensure that my approaches are suitable for all. I am very sociable and enjoy meeting new people. On many occasions, my bilingual speaking skills have been of great benefit.
I currently offer Maths courses, developing fluency in reading and developing creative writing skills.
I have been teaching since 1996, I have strong work ethics. My priority is time management, team work and strong communication skills.

Hi, my name is Kully and it's very nice to meet you. Thank you for taking this time out to read my profile!
For the last 10 years, I have been working as a primary school teacher at an outstanding school.
I have over 15 years experience and have worked within many schools, two of which were long-term.
Over the years, my teaching career has allowed me to experience many different and difficult situations. These in turn have made me a more confident, organised, resourceful and experienced (in many years groups) teacher.
My current role is a Year 2 class teacher, however I have taught children from Nursery up to Year 6 as a cover teacher too.
I took part in the Government led school tutoring program, where I tutored 3 children from Year 2 in Writing. This has deepened my experience further, especially when assisting children to achieve the best they can.
I have carried out and planned for many 1:1 or group interventions in Maths and English to assist with our school's Covid catch-up program.
I want to build a good rapport with my pupils, a relationship that is fun, respectful and honest.
It's all about adapting the learning to the pupil and making them feel that they are in control of their learning too. Having a good sense of humour always helps too!
Please leave a message if you would like to discuss your child's needs.
Looking forward to meeting you.
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!

Helping children has always been in my nature even in school when I took childcare studies as an option and did my first placement. Between the smiles you receive and the rewarding moments of a child getting that step closer to learning, experiencing or exploring www.*** sometimes for the first time is magical. At this moment in time I have no children of my own so I can help those around me. I am a full time classroom teacher in the day but I have some time after school I would love to use and help those around me.
