Hannah Carr-Smith

In our sessions, you’ll find a warm, inclusive, and exciting environment where you feel safe, supported, and inspired to learn. I plan lessons that are creative, purposeful, and centred around your interests and needs. With a strong foundation in Early Years and KS1, I use a balance of child-led play and adult-led teaching to provide a rich, engaging learning experience.

Every day is different! We might explore a story together, go on a learning adventure outside, investigate numbers using real-life objects, or get messy with paint, clay, or mud. I love using songs, movement, practical activities, and sensory play to bring learning to life and make sure everyone is included. My lessons often follow a mix of whole-class teaching, small-group activities, and plenty of independent learning time in well-planned provision areas where you can follow your own curiosity.

I have experience working with children from a range of backgrounds and abilities, including those with special educational needs. I adapt lessons to suit individual needs, offering extra support or challenge as needed, so that everyone can succeed and feel proud of their achievements. I use regular assessment and observation to plan next steps that build confidence and deepen understanding.

Most importantly, I believe that learning should be joyful. I want you to feel excited to come, and feel proud of what you achieve, and confident in who you are. My goal is to nurture a love of learning that lasts a lifetime. Please don’t hesitate to contact me!
