Iwona

I am a friendly and approachable teacher with a qualified status (QTS, 2006), currently working at school who also provides private tutoring in Maths and English. I have been working with learners of different ages and abilities, those exceeding and needing extra support in core subjects. Years of my experience, knowledge of curriculum and children`s development translate positively into the success and high achievement of the students.
I also have over 6 years of experience in successful preparation of children for 11+ exams.
I am passionate about education and love teaching and believe a student needs to be challenged. I ensure the sessions are tailored to the needs and learning styles of a specific learner. My patience, enthusiasm and dedication create a relaxed atmosphere and a stimulating learning environment, therefore positively impacting on the learner`s confidence and progress. I have a strong belief in Growth Mindset and believe `mistakes are only the beginning` of the pathway to success.

I have tutored for 11+ exams with children entering the school of their choice; and taught those needing extra boost for raising their level at school.
I also hold TEFL qualification and have been teaching English as a Foreign Language at different levels. I have had students coming from different countries and different backgrounds which enhances my understanding of how language acquisition works and how to support learners.

Availability: I am quite flexible in terms of time and and days of the sessions. Preferably, I work weekday afternoons and Saturdays. I also do online sessions on Zoom.

Willing to travel: 3 miles

Experience: I have been tutoring for many years teaching English and Maths to young learners and supporting them in gaining higher levels and increasing their confidence in learning. I have supported children at KS1, KS2 at primary school level and those aiming to enter Grammar Schools. I have strong knowledge of the National Curriculum and implement classroom methods successfully.
