About Me

I am currently worldschooling my 11 year old son so I could be anywhere in the world as I'm tutoring as we travel.

I tutor the following subjects and levels:
English (from nursery to year 9)
Welsh (from nursery to GCSE),
History (from nursery to GCSE),
Religious Studies (from nursery to GCSE),
French (from nursery to GCSE)

All of the above subjects were my favourite subjects in school.

Mathematics (primary school age - in English and Welsh; secondary school age to GCSE - in Welsh only)
Geography (nursery to year 9)
Science (primary school age - in English and Welsh; secondary school age to GCSE - in Welsh only)

The exam boards I can support with are WJEC and AQA.

I am also happy to tutor students who are learning English and Welsh and want to improve their skills with a native speaker.

I tutor 11+ and help prepare students for the 11+ exam.

I tutor functional skills Level 1 and 2.

I can also tutor through the medium of Welsh as I am a native Welsh speaker and completed all my education through the medium of Welsh.

I can also tutor English as a second and/or foreign language to children and young people (ESL/EFL) when they are B2 or higher.

Due to my professional and academic background in health and social care I am excited about providing tutoring at GCSE level and higher in Health and Social Care also.

I enjoy exam preparation work and adapt how I tutor dependent on the needs of the student.

A bit about me, I love travelling, spending time with my children and grandchild, learning about other cultures, Netflix binges, reading (I am a huge bookworm) and enjoy keeping fit. I love dance-I am an ex-dancemum as my daughter was a passionate dancer from a young age and I used to own a dance workshop business bringing choreographers from abroad to the UK.

I am a very patient, kind and caring person and will try my best to make sure that any student is happy with how I work and if they aren't I will adapt my ways to suit them as they are the ones that need to benefit from it and if something I am doing doesn't work then I will try different ways until they are happy. I am a firm believer in letting children and young people lead the session even if I am working on specific topics but I keep them focused on the task at hand too.

Thank you and I look forward to meeting you all soon!

My Experience

I am passionate about working with children and young people and have done this for over 16 years working in schools, social services and charities. I have worked with children and young people experiencing homelessness, in local authority care, and who are receiving weekly support from different organisations. I have also worked with families whose children are home educated and world schooled. I love nothing more than seeing children and young people's confidence increase as they learn new skills and information. I also have over 16 years experience working with children, young people and adults with learning difficulties/learning disabilities/disabilities/additional needs ranging from ADHD to ASD to global development delay and understand the need to adapt tutoring accordingly dependent on the individual's needs and making them feel as comfortable and at ease as much as possible.
