I am a fully qualified teacher providing high quality primary and KS3 English and Maths teaching with every lesson tailored specifically to meet the needs of each pupil. With almost 30 years’ experience of teaching in school and as a home tutor, I have successfully taught a very wide range of abilities as well as pupils for whom English is an additional language. Building good relationships as a foundation to effective teaching is very important to me. I love being able to work one to one with pupils on exactly what they need to help them gain confidence, understanding and make progress to achieve the best they possibly can. Parents and pupils consistently testify to my professional, patient and friendly approach, with pupils enjoying their lessons and quickly seeing the difference that their time with me makes. As far as possible, I channel lessons through the pupil`s interests as well as using games, practical resources and visual aids, amongst other resources. Plenty of praise and encouragement is given in recognition of their efforts and achievements, helping to motivate pupils further. Feedback is provided to parents/ carers at the end of each lesson to keep you fully informed.

Tutoring is available for children being home-schooled as well as for children requiring a little extra help out of school hours.

Availability: Monday to Saturday morning - lessons in your home.
