Sarah

I am young (ish!!) teacher well I like to think so anyway!!) who enjoys teaching and is passionate about the job.

I have lived in Somerset for 8 years now and my successful tutoring business has continued to grow since moving.

I have sons who are 11 and 8 plus an 12 year old step daughter and a 9 year old step son. When I had my first son I chose to have a career break so I could focus my attention on my children. I have been teaching children for nineteen years both in infant and primary schools and through tutoring. I have nine years experience of teaching in a school setting and I have eleven years worth of teaching exclusively through tutoring. I have taught across the primary range from Foundation Stage (Reception) to Year 6, and my last teaching post was in Foundation Stage - teaching across Nursery and Reception. Although my main teaching has been with younger children, I have trained to teach across KS1 and 2 and I am confident teaching older children and the majority of the children I tutor are Key Stage 2, Key Stage 3 and GCSE.

I am a friendly, approachable tutor who teaches in a variety of ways that would appeal to a range of learning styles. I have a structured, fun approach. Being a teacher means that I have access to a range of current resources and am very aware of the way children are currently being taught in school and can plan my tutoring sessions accordingly.

I tend to travel to you as it makes for a much calmer, less stressed environment for your child as they are based in their own territory and I am more than happy to travel. However depending on distance I may need to charge a small fee to cover travel expenses, please raise this with me if you are over 15 miles away or have a south Wales address.

Availability: Please contact me to see what we can do :)

Willing to travel: 20 miles

Experience: I have been successfully tutoring since 2006. The first 4 years of my tutoring ran alongside my teaching career, since having my first son I have expanded the number of days/nights I work and the number of pupils I have taken on and have capacity for. I tutor both additional needs children and mainstream children. My eldest son is on the Austistic Spectrum so working with children with additional needs is very close my heart. There are several children that I see during the day for either home school tutoring or flexischool tutoring and I also work evenings. Many of the children I tutor I have been with for at least a year if not much longer and quite often I gain new children by word of mouth.
