Melanie

I am a friendly, supportive qualified primary teacher with a first class degree in psychology. I have high standards and like to teach in a creative and fun way, whilst always ensuring good progress in each lesson. I enjoy getting to know my pupils and finding out about their likes, skills and needs. This helps me to engage them in their learning and tailor my lessons to suit their individual needs. I really enjoy working with children and seeing them grow in confidence as their skills improve. I believe that it is also crucial to put effort and time into building a child’s self-esteem as well as working on their academic skills.

I have wide experience of teaching across KS1 and 2. I have prepared children for KS1 and 2 SATS test. I am also experienced in teaching phonics and preparing children for the Y1 phonics test.

I have worked with lots of children needing a wide range of learning support and have undertaken training to help me. These include children with ASD, speech and language problems, dyslexia and emotional and behavioural issues.

Availability: I am available to tutor in the evenings, at weekends and during school holidays.

Willing to travel: 10 miles

Experience: I am a qualified primary teacher, with experience teaching children from 4-11. I have spent the last 2 years teaching in year 2, supporting my pupils to achieve well in their KS1 SATS tests. I also have a first class degree in Psychology and have had experience of working with children with dyslexia, ASD and speech and language difficulties.
