As of March 2026, I now have availability to tutor on a Monday or a Wednesday after school at 5pm.

I prefer to work 1:1 on a face to face basis with my pupils.


Bio:
Caring, organised and experienced English primary school educator with a passion for teaching Read Write Inc Phonics and mathematics. Within my 18 years of dedicated service in the field of education, I have developed a deep understanding of the foundational concepts necessary for young learners to excel in these subjects.
I employ visual strategies that help abstract learning become tangible concepts.

All the children I have had the pleasure of working with have met their expected targets and all of my students passed their Primary SATS - some pupils made accelerated progress.

July 2024 - This year, all the children in my Read Write Inc children in year 1/2 passed the Phonics Statutory Screening Check.

I will be working in KS1 in September.

Availability: *Week evenings after 5pm -7pm


I prefer to tutor pupils on a face to face basis as I make learning packs and prefer to work through them with the child. This also assists me when I carry out baseline assessments in the subject areas.

Willing to travel: 5 miles

Experience: I have worked in primary education for 18 years now and in this time, I have gained a wealth of experience in both keystages. I am employed at a local primary school in Crewe, where I hold a full-time grade 6 class cover post (HLTA).

I believe learning should be fun, so I always make sure my lessons engage the children. I’m a visual learner myself, utilising visual strategies where necessary to break down learning barriers.

I have been trained to deliver Read Write Inc Phonics where over the last ten years, all of my pupils have passed the Phonics Screening Check.

As well as providing reading support, I’ve tutored children in KS2 Maths and these children made excellent progress.

I can tutor students with a range of Special Educational Needs. These include: autism, ADHD, ODD, dyslexia, dyscalculia, vision impairment, behavioural, social and emotional needs.
