About
Hi there! I’m a qualified teacher with a degree in Inclusive Education and several years of experience working as a primary school teaching assistant. After five years of studying to become a teacher and working in schools, I realised that the traditional classroom setting wasn’t the right environment for me to do what I’m most passionate about: providing personalised support and helping learners reach their potential.
I now channel my passion and experience into one-to-one tuition, providing personalised support tailored to each learner’s individual needs, strengths and interests.
With a particular interest in additional needs and neurodiversity, I welcome all learners, including those who may have found traditional education challenging. While I’m trained in primary education, I also offer tuition in Functional Skills, maths and English. For the past two years, I have worked as a tutor in alternative education, supporting learners aged from 6 to 20.
If you’re looking for some extra support with your child’s learning, I’d love to hear from you. I’m also available during the day, making my tuition a great option for home-educating families and learners who need a more flexible approach to education.
I’m DBS-checked, fully insured, and hold a full driving licence, so I can travel to your home for tuition.
Let’s work together to help your child thrive! 🌱
