Helping Your Child Thrive in English & Maths Through Fun, Practical Learning

As a qualified and experienced teacher with over six years in the classroom, I offer tailored, engaging tutoring sessions in English and Maths for primary school children. Whether your child needs a confidence boost, targeted support, or a little extra challenge, I create a learning environment that’s nurturing, practical, and full of creativity.

?? English: Spark Imagination and Build Writing Confidence
In English, I help children develop the skills they need to write clearly, creatively, and with purpose. One of the ways I do this is by using picture stimuli – inspiring, thought-provoking images that encourage pupils to think imaginatively and generate ideas for writing. These visual prompts are a powerful way to unlock creativity and help children build vivid descriptions, rich vocabulary, and interesting storylines.

My lessons focus on strengthening sentence structure, expanding vocabulary, and understanding what makes a piece of writing effective. We explore how to plan, write, and edit narratives that your child can be proud of – stories that showcase their unique voice and engage the reader.

? Maths: Hands-On, Real-Life Learning That Makes Sense
In Maths, I take a practical, hands-on approach, using concrete objects such as cubes, coins, number lines, and measuring tools to bring learning to life. I connect mathematical concepts to real-life scenarios that children can understand and relate to – from shopping problems to cooking measurements.

I break down tricky concepts into small, manageable steps, and provide scaffolding to support understanding. This approach builds confidence, deepens understanding, and helps children feel successful in their learning.
