Lara Buck

I specialise in working with children in the early years through to Year 6, with a strong focus on building solid foundations in reading and phonics. Helping children develop confidence in their learning—especially in these crucial early stages—is something I truly love.
Throughout my teaching career, I’ve been known for my calm and patient approach, always taking the time to understand each child’s individual needs and learning style. I believe every child can succeed with the right support and encouragement, and I aim to create a space where they feel safe, heard, and excited to learn.
I strive to make lessons engaging and enjoyable—because when children are having fun, they’re more open to learning. Whether it’s through creative activities, games, or simply breaking things down in a way that makes sense to them, I always try to keep learning as accessible and positive as possible.
I bring not just experience, but a genuine love for teaching and a commitment to helping every child thrive.
