Does your child struggle with reading? If you are interested in reading help for your early years or primary-age child, especially with phonics, you're in the right place!
I'm Kara, a passionate qualified teacher, online primary tutor, and phonics and reading expert. I support children with early reading and writing. My mission is to help children learn to read and write with enthusiasm and fun so their confidence and success rocket.
With my proven phonics support, I can help build your child’s confidence and help them learn to read. Why not book a free discovery call with me to find out more?
My teaching style is student-focused and I use an active learning approach. I use my knowledge of how children learn, and my years of experience to help children become confident learners by offering them the quality support they need. I encourage independent learning, and a growth mindset while guiding children on the tools to achieve their reading, writing, and spelling goals. My lessons are one-to-one tutoring or small group tutoring.
Some of the benefits of online tutoring are:
• Learning takes place in the comfort of your own home (no need for travel)
• learning is fun and interactive-both hands-on and digital resources
• Learning is personalised and tailored to your child's individual needs and learning style
• Learning is flexible, (although I plan for every lesson, sometimes the best lessons are in the moment and child-led topics)

Experience:
I am a fully qualified teacher with over 24 years of experience working with children of various backgrounds, learning differences, and abilities. While working as a KS1 primary teacher, I was inspired to help children develop their reading and writing skills and served as a Literacy leader and specialist. In 2020, I started my online tutoring business, Just 2 Imagine Tutors, to support children's literacy learning and help children learn to read with confidence. With online tutoring, I teach children from across the UK and overseas. I am a phonics and reading expert and an Official Jigsaw Phonics Tutor, having completed exclusive training. I also have experience working with children with Dyslexia and other learning differences.
I tutor online via Zoom. I live in Hampshire England and offer tutoring services to children ages 3-8 throughout the UK and Europe.
My message to students is that learning to read is a journey. I will help you build your confidence with reading and make learning to read fun. Learning to read is an essential skill, and I will aim to help you become a confident, fluent lifelong reader.
Are you worried about your child falling behind in maths? Are they concerned about not being able to reach their target grade? Do you want them to get off to a flying start come September? Then 1:1 tutoring is the answer.
Being involved in education for 10+ years, I have supported many students (children and adults), make tremendous progress in their studies and even exceed their target grade.
I am conversant with both AQA and Edexcel boards, and remote teaching via zoom and MS Teams.
No minimum sessions required and for your peace of mind, the first session is always free!
Limited slots are now available. For more info, drop me a message.
I'm enthusiastic about science and have a specific interest in Astrophysics. I have a PhD in Physics and Astronomy from the University of Southampton.
To fund my PhD, I received a Mayflower scholarship, which required me to teach 25% of my time there. I assisted teaching of several different courses ranging from first to fourth year physics including maths, laboratories, electromagnetism etc.
I also helped to mark problem sheets, exams, course work as well as presentations. Moreover, I was a tutor and had regular tutorials with my tutees. I guided them academically whilst also making sure that they were settling in well into university life.
As part of my teaching experience at university, I have taught students with a range of abilities and from different cultural backgrounds, including non-native speakers.
I am experienced online tutor in Maths and Science. Sessions are held via Zoom and I use a writing tablet to go through ideas, concepts and calculations. I always adapt the content of my sessions to suit the different exam boards and curricula.
One-to-one and group sessions as well as online lessons available.
I understand that each person has a different learning style and I adapt my tutoring sessions to reflect this. I'm friendly and personable and aim to put every student at ease because learning shouldn't be stressful. I'm happy to teach Science and Maths for all age groups ranging from primary school to A-levels or equivalent and Physics up to undergraduate level. I'm also happy to teach German for all age groups as I'm a native speaker.
I hold a current enhanced DBS certificate, volunteer at a local preschool group and have three children of my own.
I have been teaching as a private tutor in the private education sector independently and through agencies across Hampshire for over fifteen years. I tutor full time and this is my business and full time career. Therefore, unlike many teachers who do a few private lessons here and there, I am fully committed and can spend all of my time preparing lessons and focusing on just my private students. I have taught children who are being home schooled, pupils who need some one to one tuition, group tuition, helped to run successful revision courses through an agency and prepared pupils for exams such as Common Entrance, GCSE's and SAT's (all of which I have had successful results with and have kept a record of.)
I have experience of working with several learning difficulties as well as behavioural problems.
I have taught in several schools across Hampshire and other areas of the country.
I am extremely familiar with The National Curriculum, different syllabuses and the variety of examination boards that schools use #/k#and stick to following these.
I have a firm, fun but fair approach to tuition and encourage pupils to work to the best of their ability through praise and reward. I always follow up lessons with advise on what areas need to be improved upon, followed by a positive and encouraging remark about the pupil's work so that confidence is not lost.
I enjoy providing parent's with continual progress reports after each session and offer advise as and when it is needed. I am happy to provide references on request.
I always offer an initial assessment before sessions commence so that I can get a general idea of how I can help the student, and for the student to see whether they like my teaching style. After the assessment, lessons are carefully planned and prepared to meet each individual's needs/requirements. Continual support via e mail is offered (especially for those special cases like exam times, which as we all know can be very stressful for the parent and the student.)

My specialist subjects are Maths and Science but I can tutor any subject and have a wide range of knowledge due to my teaching experience.
I have been an Art & Design teacher in the Southampton area since September 1997. My experience of working as a free-lance artist/illustrator has been an essential skill throughout my teaching career, providing learners with a wider knowledge of creative practice during tutorials and group presentations and giving the student an experienced insight of working as a professional practitioner either after their degree or in terms of work based learning after a sixth form programme.
I have always fostered excellent relationships with my students and particularly prize the strong working relationships I have developed with a range of learners. I also feel in some cases that it is important to develop links with parents allowing them to support and encourage the students further in their education.
Within my time in education I have produced dynamic and creative areas of learning which offer a range of academic and vocational courses where students have experienced studying from level 1 to level 4. I have assisted younger students with their progression from school as well as adult learners into college and onto higher education and employment. I aim to develop students work to meet or exceed the requirements of their expected qualifications, learning goals or employment. I ensure that the students feel happy and confident in their studies. I strongly believe that students should be able to express themselves and understand the world around them. Through their studies students should be able to communicate their thoughts and ideas and demonstrate the development of their practical skills. I am enthusiastic about encouraging students through my pastoral role to research their subjects and their progressionary aims using appropriate resources such as journals, books and appropriate internet sites. I have provided good liaison throughout my time in education between schools, colleges and local HE providers such as Southampton Solent University, The Arts University Bournemouth and Winchester School of Art. I am always constantly striving to improve student confidence through high quality teaching and learning. I am now keen to use and develop my skills and knowledge within the wider area of art and design teaching and I am particularly excited about tutoring individual students to fulfil their individual goals.

I moved to the UK from the USA after completing a Masters degree and www.*** in Classical Philology at Harvard University. My first teaching jobs in the UK were at Winchester College and Westminster School, where I taught GCSE and A-level classes in Greek and Latin.
I have published numerous articles and books on Greek literature while working as a lecturer at the University of Bristol (2007-2011) and Corpus Christi College, Oxford (2011-2016). After the birth of my third child, I stopped lecturing and took a job locally as teacher of Greek and Latin at Pilgrims' Prep School in Winchester.
At the University of Bristol, I taught undergraduates and post graduates, many of whom were Adult learners.
The diversity of my work experience has allowed me to teach from many different textbooks for beginners and intermediates and all of the popular text prescriptions for exams.
I also offer support for university applications to UK and USA universities. I give alumni interviews for Harvard applicants in the Winchester area. I am very skilled in online instruction, but I don't have a Facebook page or personal website. For my publications and academic work, I use my birth name (Hitch), many of which can be found on Google or Amazon.
Analytically minded person who is fascinated by helping students reach their full potential. I have taught for the past six years and most of my students came out with extension in their final exams.

I'm an ESOL teacher and KS2 TA providing English tutoring to both children and adults based on the individual needs.
I'm an acting coach and theatre director based in Salisbury with over 15 years experience in theatre. I have trained in the UK and USA (Bristol Old Vic, CSSD and Actors Temple London) (SITI Company New York and The Acting Corps LA).
I love working with actors, exploring scripts and developing characters. Having initially trained as an actor, I have a great respect for the process. I have been working with pre-professional actors for around 10 years and supported many on successful application to drama school.
My training lies in Michael Chekhov, Meisner, Viewpoints and Suzuki and have a physical approach to text (Stella Adler). I bring a range of skills and approaches to the text, that can help unlock scenes, and support you on your journey. However, as a director and teacher I am able to adapt to the individual needs of the actor.
As a younger tutor i am able to provide an up to date and extensive knowledge of current courses. Having dyslexia myself allows me to empathise with students who may need a helping hand along the way, and i am more than happy to be that help.
