What My Lessons Are Like

My lessons are designed to be positive, engaging and focused on your needs as a learner. I believe that every student has unique strengths and my role is to help you discover and build on them. To do this I create lessons that are flexible, creative and tailored to different learning styles whether you prefer practical activities, structured tasks or real world examples.

Each lesson begins with clear goals so you know exactly what we are working towards. From there, I break learning into manageable steps and use a variety of activities; discussions, problem solving tasks and interactive resources. To keep things interesting and enjoyable, I also place a strong emphasis on encouragement and feedback so you can clearly see the progress you are making and feel confident in your abilities.

With over twenty years of teaching experience across all primary subjects, I bring a broad knowledge base and a proven track record of helping students achieve excellent results. I have also worked extensively with students who have additional needs including SEND and SEMH which has given me the skills to adapt lessons to ensure that all learners feel supported and included.

Most importantly my lessons create a safe, caring and respectful space. I want you to feel comfortable asking questions, trying new things and learning at your own pace. My aim is for every session to be purposeful, enjoyable and a step towards unlocking your full potential. You lead the way, this is about you, not me.
