I'm a fully qualified and certified teacher and I genuinely love what I do. Teaching isn't just my career, it's my passion, and I think children can feel that the moment they walk into a session. I'm patient, warm and endlessly enthusiastic, and I have a real knack for making children feel safe enough to try, make mistakes and try again.

I'm a naturally adaptive teacher. I read the room quickly, pick up on how a child is feeling and responding, and adjust my approach on the spot, whether that means slowing down, trying a completely different explanation, or finding a way to make something click through a game, a story or a real-life example. No two children learn the same way, and I never expect them to.

I take the time to really get to know each child, how they think, what makes them tick, what knocks their confidence and what makes their eyes light up. I have high expectations, but I deliver them with encouragement rather than pressure. I want every child I work with to leave not just knowing more, but believing in themselves a little more too.

I'm a qualified primary school teacher with over ten years of classroom experience and six years of private tutoring, working with children and young people aged 5 to 16. I specialise in KS1 and KS2 but have successfully prepared many students for the 11+ and for their GCSE's, with a strong track record of raising attainment and building confidence.

I believe every child has potential, my job is to help them find it.

My approach is simple, get to know the child first, everything else follows from there. Before I think about content or targets, I want to understand how they learn, where their confidence is and what's been getting in the way. Once I know that, I can pitch sessions at exactly the right level and adjust as we go.

I keep sessions structured but flexible. I have high expectations, but I'm never rigid, if something isn't working, I'll find another way in. I use a range of approaches to keep things fresh and I'm always looking for that moment when something finally clicks.

Progress matters, but so does enjoyment. If a child dreads their tutoring session, we've already lost half the battle. I want them to leave feeling capable, confident and ready for more.
