About Me

Hello!

I am an enthusiastic and experienced primary school teacher and tutor and am committed to helping children build a love of learning.

I work with children from Nursery to Year 6 (3-11 yrs) and have particular experience supporting children with additional educational needs (including but not exclusive to English as an Additional Language, Autism, Dyslexia and ADHD).

Additionally, I specialise in working with children that lack confidence in their ability and those that may be reluctant to take part in learning activities for different reasons. I create a warm and engaging learning environment (involving reward charts, treat boxes, rhymes/songs, interactive games and tasks specifically catered for each individual child`s interests) which builds confidence and enjoyment of the content.

As well as working with children that need specific support, I also carry out general fun learning sessions to keep brains active when out of school and have experience with providing specific tasks that involve higher-order thinking for gifted and talented children.

I have a thorough understanding of the Primary National Curriculum and the required content throughout the Early Years Foundation Stage, Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2. Furthermore, I am very familiar with independent school`s admissions processes (4+ to 11+) and have successfully supported a large number of children in achieving entrance to their chosen school(s).

If you think I could help your family I would love to hear from you!
