Information about Bruce
I am an extremely kind teacher who always builds up happy joyful relationships with all children, especially young children. Due to my enthusiastic demeanour young children enjoy working with me. I can get down to their level and communicate with them with purpose and vigour.
I have spent over 30 plus years teaching in a primary school spending over six years in Reception working on fun and enjoyable reading and numbers activities. I have also taught in all other year groups including Year 6.
My next biggest strength is that I am brilliant at teaching children to read. Over the last few weeks I have super successfully taught a boy to read using a combination of phonics, letter sounds, visual letters, experiments and learning from mistakes. Plugging on building sounds with exciting non stop praise and enthusiasm.
I am also super proficient in maths and all other subjects up to Year 6 and beyond. Over the last 2 years I have been teaching various SEN children on a one to one basis at various places in Bromley.
Availability: I am available to teach either online or by visiting your home or at a secure other location.
Willing to travel: 10 miles
Experience: My super strength is that I am super kind, instantly approachable and build up positive valued relationships with my children. Children warm to my friendly approachable nature.
I can help your child to love and enjoy reading using quality shared books, phonics, games, nursery rhymes, songs and smiles.
I can teach quality exciting lessons up to Primary School Year 6 and beyond.
Especially Maths and English.
I am also highly experienced in teaching children ready for all aspects of the 11+ exam.
I did this over many years whilst teaching in Bromley I was very successful teaching a group of Sri Lankan children for the 11+.
If you want fantastic kind lessons that will get you theough the 11+, I could be your teacher.
DBS Check: Yes

I asked my five year old daughter what she thought of Bruce and she said "Very good. I think other children should see him too. He helped me with my reading." Excellent communication and flexible with days and times. Would recommend!
