Nicola

My name is Nicola and I moved to the area seven years ago from Wimbledon, where I worked at Wimbledon High School for nine years. I currently work as a TA in Y3/4 at a local prep school and prior to that I worked as a KS2 TA in a local girls independent school. For the academic year 2020/21 I was a 1:1 LSA, supporting a child with ASD, and I spent the previous seven years working in Years 3 and 4 at an independent girls` prep school in London.

I am trained in learning support, Unicorn Maths, Toe by Toe, Acceleread Accelewrite and Read Write Inc, as well as having many years experience in Years 1 to 6 and tutoring from home. I am happy to take children in Y6 if they are struggling with the maths curriculum or preparing for SATS, but I don`t prepare them for the 11+ entrance exams.

I am fully DRB checked and have a safeguarding certificate and paediatric first aid qualification. I am also a qualified ELSA.

If your child is struggling to keep up with the maths curriculum, has lost confidence in the subject or simply needs some revision then please do get in touch with me. My lessons are fun and are individually tailored to each child. I can liaise directly with your child`s form teacher, if requested, so that I ensure that we cover exactly where the gaps are.

All books are supplied by me and are included in the lesson fee. I only tutor from home and have a dedicated work room where I teach, which has all the necessary resources for my lessons.

I give feedback to parents after every lesson, either in person or in a book which moves with the pupil from home to lessons and back.

References available from current pupils on request. Please feel free to email me if you have any queries.

Availability: I will have availability in the summer holidays and can take children from July 8th through to the end of August. I will then have some slots available after school from September.

Willing to travel: Home Only

Experience: Over 25 years in learning support in primary, independent and international schools and tutoring from home for the past 9 years.
