My Summary
About Me
Hello! My name is [Your Name] and I’m a passionate, fully qualified teacher with extensive experience across Years 1–6, now offering private tuition tailored to each child's unique learning journey. I believe that education should be inspiring, confidence-building, and rooted in real-world understanding.
As a teacher who is both dyslexic and dyspraxic, I bring a personal empathy to my tutoring that many families deeply appreciate. My own experiences have given me a unique insight into how children learn differently — and the creative strategies that can unlock their full potential. I call this approach Chrislexia: a blend of creativity, resilience, empathy, and practical learning that celebrates every child’s strengths while gently supporting their challenges.
My Experience
Over my teaching career, I have:
Raised English learning outcomes by over 30% across multiple classes
Led residential trips, sports programs, and arts initiatives
Developed differentiated learning resources that boost confidence for SEND, EAL, and neurodiverse learners
Been consistently praised by parents for my nurturing approach and ability to build strong, trusting relationships
Successfully mentored trainee teachers and led whole-school initiatives across English, PE, Music, and History
I have taught in a wide range of settings, from high-achieving schools to areas of significant deprivation, always adapting my style to suit each learner’s needs. I am currently a Year 5 Teacher, PE Lead, and Sports Coordinator at a vibrant Catholic primary school — the very same school I once attended as a child!
