Ellie (Tutor)

 English (primary, ks3)

 Maths (primary, ks3)

I am an enthusiastic, dynamic and consistently 'outstanding' rated teacher with 7 years' experience in both the primary and secondary sectors. My experience of child development, the NAtional Curriculum and current educational best-practice means that I can identify your child's areas of difficulty and build a programme around them in order to accelerate success in maths and English.
My specific dyslexia qualification allows me to provide a detailled literacy assessment of any child (which can be communicated to schools), and if necessary to tailor and deliver the BDA-accredited Dyslexia Istitute Literacy Programme to help remedy dyslexic-type problems.
I firmly believe that teaching based in rigorous research but done through games and many short multi-sensory activities is the reason that my students last year made on average 18 months' progress in their reading age over 9 months. A great teacher-pupil relationship is vital, so I recommend a free 'taster' session to begin with to see if all parties feel the tutoring would work.
