Information about Alison
I am a recently retired Headteacher of an outstanding church school where I worked for 16 years teaching all age groups, most recently Year 5 and 6. I have an honours degree in English from the University of London and a Postgraduate Certificate in Primary Education from Lancaster University. I was also Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCO) and a Leading Teacher for Gifted and Talented children so can offer support for all levels of ability and a variety of learning needs. I have been a Teacher Adviser to the Standard & Testing Agency for the KS2 Spelling Punctuation and Grammar SATs as well as a SATS marker.
Sometimes our children need a little individual and personalised attention from a tutor who can motivate and guide them to build their confidence and allow them to flourish. I will do everything I can to be that tutor.
Even the very best teachers with the large classes of today can struggle to give every child exactly what they need. My desire to become a tutor was born out of a love of lifelong learning and a desire to help those children who need some extra support to get the most from a happy time at school.
Availability: Sessions times are flexible to suit you and are run in the evenings and school holidays. School holiday learning clubs can be arranged for full or half days including lunch.
Willing to travel: Home Only
Experience: I was a teaching Head of an outstanding church school where I worked for 16 years across all age groups from Reception to Year 6. I was also Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCO) and a Leading Teacher for Gifted and Talented children so can offer support for all levels of ability and a variety of learning needs. I have been a Teacher Adviser to the Standard & Testing Agency for the KS2 Spelling Punctuation and Grammar SATs as well as a SATS marker. My own teaching was graded outstanding by OFSTED: "The accelerated progress pupils make in the Year 5&6 class leads to well-above-average attainment. In mathematics an impressive number of children exceed the expected level for their age. In response to the inspirational teaching of English, writing improves at a brisk pace." I am an experienced Designated Safeguarding Lead and hold an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service certificate.

Alison is an amazing Tutor my little girl has come on so much and really got her confidence back doing Maths. Her maths teacher at school has commented so many times on how much better Scarlett is now, I can not recommend Alison enough she goes above and beyond for my little girl and we are gutted are lessons have finished for now but in the future if I ever need another Tutor I without a doubt will be using Alison again! Thank you for everything Alison I really appreciate everything you have done :) xxx
