Laura

I am qualified in early years education with a HNC in Early education and Childcare and a HND in Childhood Practice. I also studied maths teaching at university for 2 years. I have tutored a few primary school children aged between 6 and 11. I have a 4 year old son so I would prefer to tutor from home but could arrange to travel locally.

Availability: Weekday evenings or Sunday evening after 5pm

Willing to travel: 3 miles

Experience: I tutored a 7 year old boy all primary school subjects for 2 years as his education had been delayed, which meant he only had the ability of a 5 year old pupil. I nurtured him carefully to ensure that he caught up with his classmates and gave him the confidence to know that he was capable of the work.
I also tutored a girl aged 11 with some primary subjects but mainly maths. I only tutored her for 6 months as she felt confident in her work by that point.
I`ve tutored my own young sisters aged 8 and 9, again in all primary subjects. This was done as a favour as they are my sisters but it gave me more experience.
I have a 4 year old son who I dedicate specific time to work on his learning and development through a variety of tasks such as drawing and writing as this helps him develop his fine motor skills and allows him to hold a pen/pencil correctly. I encourage that he tries to write letters to learn the alphabet, however I let him learn at his own pace. The rest of the time I spend with him I simply encourage him as his mum.
