Tillie

I am currently a co-teacher in a west London primary school, with experience teaching in Key Stage One and Early Years. I am motivated by the prospect of helping children reach their full academic and personal potential. My goal is to always implement engaging and effective lessons and use my ELSA (Emotional Literacy Support Assistant) training to create meaningful connections with my students.

I have a particular strength in teaching phonics and early reading. My love for English Literature confirms my belief that learning to read is the gateway to so much pleasure and enjoyment. I feel really passionately about helping children through the early stages of their reading journey and see them flourish into confident and avid readers.

I am a patient and enthusiastic teacher and I believe any child can grow and learn from tutoring that is engaging, relatable, and exciting to them. I will ensure that each session is catered to each child’s needs, interests and abilities so that they make great progress, increase their confidence and enjoy learning! :)
