About Me
1st Class Teaching
Where Little Learners Love to Learn.
I am a fun, energetic teacher and home schooling specialist as well as a mummy to three wonderful children. I have a fun approach to learning which is always delivered through rich play opportunities and interactive experiences. I thrive to provide an enjoyable, engaging, interactive way to learn which provides a real love for learning for all of my lovely children.
I have been a primary school teacher (both state and private) for eleven years now and have had experience working with children for over 15 years. I am trained in SEN and children’s mental health and I still have just as much passion in teaching as the day I started!
All sessions here take place in my lovely purpose built classroom and outdoor area and are always fun and engaging and provide a real love for learning. Group sessions are put together by age/ability and session plans are made to meet individual needs of the children in each group. 1:1 sessions are tailored to meet specific needs of individual children. I use top of the range teaching tools, accessories and websites (all used and loved in schools) to help children progress in their learning.
I really do have an enthusiastic approach to learning and make all of my lessons enjoyable, interesting and interactive which makes children love coming here to learn. I also provide a refreshments and after each session, my lovely parents also get a detailed report which helps them to see what their little one has done and gives them an idea for next steps in their learning.
Over the last few years I have helped children to pass entrance exams, fill in gaps in their learning, but most importantly, gain confidence and learn to love learning.
Please feel free to contact me for any more information or to come along and meet me and see the classroom and please bring your little ones for a cuddle with our class bunny, Elsa too!
My Experience
Having graduated from university with a first class degree in 2013, I am now an experienced primary school teacher and I have taught in many year groups as well as leading years in both state and private schools.
I have been a private tutor for eight years now teaching children aged 3-11 and now run my own home tuition business with a purpose built classroom and outdoor learning area.
I have helped many children gain entrance into top private schools and exceed in 11+ exams too.

Dayna is by far the best. My daughter suffers with separation anxiety and was so far behind with her learning. Dayna quickly made Bonnie feel so comfortable and settled. Bonnie is like a new child she’s shining with confidence, excited for her next session with Dayna, in fact she counts down the day until she gets to see Dayna again. She also loves cuddles with the bunny Elsa. Bonnie has learnt so much since seeing Dayna and I cant recommend her enough. She’s outstanding. I would highly recommend 💫

Thank you so much for your lovely review. I absolutely adore teaching Bonnie. She’s doing brilliantly and is a real joy to have for homeschooling ❤️
Dayna has been an exceptional tutor for my son in both Maths and English. Not only has she helped him improve, but her patience and understanding have been invaluable in building his confidence. Highly recommended!"

Thank you so much.
He’s such a true pleasure to have each week and I’ve loved watching his confidence grow ❤️
My son missed a lot of Reception and Y1 due to covid and struggles with phonics anyway so is a very reluctant reader and hated English. However the time with Dayna this year (Y3 going into 4) has done him the world of good. He enjoys the classes very much and is always happy to go. He is growing in confidence with his writing, spelling and reading and even pro actively writes things at home now. She has a lovely setting for the children and a great positive learning approach, I'd happily recommend.
