About Me

I’m a qualified primary school teacher (QTS) and SEN tutor. I’ve worked with a range of children, including those with dyslexia, dyscalculia, SEMH, PDA, Speech and Langauge needs, anxiety, autism, ADHD and selective mutism. I’m calm and patient, and I focus a lot on building a child’s confidence and create a space where they are engaged and becoming more independent.

My Teaching Philosophy

I believe every child learns differently, and there isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach. My role is to understand how each child learns best and adapt my teaching to suit them.

I place a strong focus on building confidence first. In my experience, once a child feels comfortable and believes in themselves, their progress follows. I create a calm, supportive environment where children feel safe to ask questions, make mistakes and try again without pressure.

I also believe learning should feel engaging and manageable. I break things down into small steps, use different approaches where needed, and make sure children fully understand before moving on.

Most importantly, I want the children I work with to leave sessions feeling more confident, capable and positive about learning.

Something Sensational About Me

Something that really sets me apart is the way I build genuine relationships with the children I work with. I take the time to understand them properly, not just academically, but also how they feel about learning, too.

I’m also quite an artistic person, and that comes through in the way I teach. I like to present things in different ways, break concepts down visually, and make sessions feel more engaging, especially for children who don’t always respond to more traditional methods.

Because I’ve been tutoring for several years alongside teaching, I’ve seen how much of a difference it makes when a child feels comfortable and understood. I’m often able to connect well with children who may be quiet, anxious or reluctant at first, and over time help them come out of their shell.
