Information about Catherine

I teach both maths and English to children aged 4-8 (Reception to Year 4).

As a fully qualified teacher with 20+ years’ experience from outstanding schools within the state and independent sectors, your child will receive the very best teaching. I just LOVE teaching and encouraging. I tutor children in a calm, friendly and positive manner, setting high yet realistic expectations. Children I have taught have experienced significant success and made very good progress leading to school awards for improvement and/or achievement.

During term time, lessons are weekly from Monday to Thursday. Holiday lessons are also available separately. Excellent references are readily provided, with all parents happy to talk to you. All families I have worked with have been extremely pleased with the work their children have been doing with me - and many have recommended me to friends.

With both parents and children, I have a good rapport, believing that a positive working relationship is essential. I provide tailor-made lessons and am happy to work with you, concentrating on certain aspects of learning that between us we feel are necessary for improvement.

I would be delighted to talk through any questions you have, so please feel free to get in touch.

Availability: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday 3:45-7:15pm.
Please contact me for current availability.

1:1 sessions £45 per hour
Small group lessons (with a maximum of 3 children) £28.00 per hour.

An initial 1:1 introductory lesson is £45.

Lessons are taught in the home classroom in Chaldon, CR3

Willing to travel: Home Only

Experience: The last 20+ years have been spent as a class teacher teaching Reception and KS1, in both state and independent schools. For the last nine years I have been doing supply teaching and tutoring children from Reception up to Year 4.

Most of my work is by word of mouth, which always speaks volumes, and is a great encouragement.

Catherine has been fantastic with our young daughter supporting her with Academic development. Catherine’s style was exactly what we were looking for, making learning enjoyable but with clear milestones set which as parents we are aligned to and understand the focus areas for our daughter. In just a matter of weeks we have seen significant development not only academically but also in confidence and our daughters enthused approach to learning. Catherine comes highly recommended from us!

Tutors Response :

Thank you so much for your kind feedback. Your daughter is an absolute joy, and our lessons always go by in the blink of an eye, because we`re both having such fun. I`m pleased you`re happy with the progress she is making from the tutoring sessions. Thank you for assisting her at home with concepts taught within lessons. I`m looking forward to seeing you next week for our usual weekly session.

I must say Catherine is simply the best! Since working with my daughter that was significantly behind, Catherine has worked hard and there has been huge improvement! She is patient, caring, loving, personable and easy to talk to. She provides feedback after every session and tailor makes each session to accommodate your child’s needs. I would highly recommend Catherine, you will not regret it! She also has such a kind heart and my daughter absolutely looks forward to going to her sessions, she’s always excited to see Catherine!

Tutors Response :

Christianah, thank you so much for this glowing review. It`s an incredible privilege to be able to nurture young children and guide them on their way to gain skills and confidence in life and learning. Your daughter is doing so well and making super personal progress at her level. Thank you for helping her at home with suggestions given in the lessons. She thoroughly enjoys practising to read her flashcard words.

It`s a pleasure seeing her smiley face as she comes to tutoring each lesson. We have great fun and I`m pleased to hear she enjoys it so much.

Fantastic Tutor, my daughter has settled in very well, enjoys every lesson and is already showing great improvement in her Maths

Tutors Response :

Hi Carly,
Thank you for your kind feedback. She is a delight to teach and has settled in so well. It gives me great pleasure seeing her confidence soar each week.
She`s remembering the techniques taught and is enjoying maths. What a superstar.

Today, we had fantastic fun in the small group lesson taking it in turns to teach each other how to find the answer to 4x4 using different calculation strategies. She was very good at explaining how to count in steps of 4.

Looking forward to seeing you next week.
Catherine :)

Very good at tutoring young people. Her approach has allowed my daughter to gain confidence in Maths and English, as well as attain a high standard at primary school. We would highly recommend Catherine to any parent wishing their child to do well.

Catherine has been a wonderful tutor for my children.
I`m delighted we came across her as she`s exceeded all our expectations. From the very first session her enthusiasm won the girls over and her subsequent insights into their abilities and where focus was required put any parenting concerns to rest. She is very thorough and will not move on from a topic until my daughter has grasped it fully. The girls really look forward to their lesson with her every week.
She is the perfect tutor for my kids as I have seen a massive improvement in their school levels, I highly recommend her.

Catherine has been tutoring both my children for a few weeks now. After initial assessment she set out a clear plan of what she would be covering with them this term, all in line with what they are doing at school. My children look forward to Catherine coming and have both grown in confidence. They enjoy their sessions and seem very interested. In subjects that they are secure in, Catherine moves them on to work which may be above their year group but keeps them challenged and interested. Catherine has a lovely and gentle approach, and her rewards system works well. I would highly recommend her.
