I offer targeted English tutoring services from key stages 1 to 4, with a specialism in special educational needs. My programmes of study not only meet the national curriculum outcomes, but incorporate self-regulation strategies and tactile resources to nurture a passion for learning.

I`m a full-time educator teaching English at an SEN school in Amersham, with a background rooted in youth and outreach work. I`ve been tutoring for five years and also teach meditation and Qigong for health and wellbeing.

I bring with me extensive experience, excellent interpersonal skills and a nurturing approach to help students meet their full potential.

I have worked with a range of diagnoses, including ADHD, ASD and dyselxia/dyspraxia. Programmes are adapted to suit the individual needs of each learner.

My highly structured primary programme incorporates strategies developed with speech and language therapists (SALT) and educational psychologists; we balance learning with tactile activities that develop memory, speech and fine motor skills, as well as embedding core literacy skills in line with the national curriculum.

Moving upwards to KS3 and beyond, I am able to diagnose the areas for development quickly, responding to these with tested strategies that will enable to student to achieve their goals all the way up to GCSE.

Availability: I am available weekday evenings and weekend mornings/afternoons.
