Alina

I am an enthusiastic and experienced tutor specialising in KS1 and KS2 Maths and English, with a strong background in both teaching and one-on-one tutoring. With five years of experience as a dedicated tutor, alongside two years spent working in schools as a teacher and teaching assistant, I bring a well-rounded approach to supporting young learners.

I graduated with a first-class degree in Neuroscience from King’s College London, where I gained a deep understanding of how children’s minds develop and learn. Currently, I am completing my Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) at University College London to obtain Qualified Teacher Status (QTS), as I am passionate about pursuing a career in primary education.

I believe that building a strong foundation in Maths and English is key to lifelong academic success. My approach is rooted in fostering curiosity and confidence, helping students understand not just what they’re learning, but why it matters. I focus on creating engaging, individualised lessons that cater to each student’s unique needs, allowing them to progress at their own pace while mastering essential skills.

Throughout my career, I have worked closely with young learners of varying abilities, adapting my teaching methods to suit individual learning styles. My experience as both a teacher and teaching assistant has equipped me with the skills to identify learning gaps and tailor my lessons to address them. I have successfully helped students improve their understanding, skills, and confidence in Maths and English, making learning enjoyable and accessible.

With a solid academic foundation, classroom experience, and commitment to ongoing professional development, I am well-prepared to help your child succeed.
