Laura

Hi :)

My name is Laura and I`m a 41 year old primary school teacher, originally from Canada. I`ve lived and taught in London now for the past 8 years and I love it!

I`m very personable and friendly, I love kids and have a knack for making learning fun and engaging (even for the most reluctant learner).

I set a high standard of success for my students but always try to maintain a calming fun environment that does not feel stressful, or feel like another session of school after an already long day of learning.

Availability: I have limited availability currently. But please ask and hopefully we can work something out :)

Willing to travel: Home Only

Experience: I have 6 years of university, and two degrees - including a Bachelor of Education.

As previously mentioned, I am a working teacher in the UK system with extensive knowledge of the curriculum and the current methods of learning in both Maths and English. As a tutor, this is invaluable, due to the ever changing and evolving curriculum. It means that I will always be aware of what methods your child should be learning for each subject, and at each stage of learning. My aim is always to ensure that every child can understand what they have learned in the sessions and apply it to their work in the classroom as seamlessly and effectively as possible. Building up their confidence, creating a positive relationship with learning and allowing them to make the gains necessary for success.

I have extensive knowledge on many SE private schools in both curriculum expectation levels as well as entrance exam levels and requirements.

As a previous year 6 teacher, I know what is required to not only prep for SATS in both maths (including reasoning) and English (Spelling and Grammar), but also what is required for the children leaving year 6 and heading to secondary school (be it private, Grammar or otherwise).


Please contact me if your child:

- Attends Private or Prep school and is expected to maintain a high level of understanding and execution.
- Is preparing for entrance into private or prep school and/or in-school examinations
- 7+, 8+, 11+
- Will be taking YEAR 2 SATS or YEAR 6 SATS
- Would benefit from one to one academic support to get them to the expected level of their year group.
- Excels academically and would benefit from being challenged and gaining a deeper understanding of concepts.
- Is a reluctant learner and requires an alternative method of teaching that works for their needs.

No matter the academic needs of your child, I`m confident we can get there together!
