Louise Newton

I’m a qualified Primary teacher offering supportive, engaging tutoring for children in EYFS, KS1 and lower KS2. With hands-on classroom experience, strong phonics expertise, and a warm, structured teaching style, I help pupils build confidence, close gaps, and enjoy learning.

I specialise in:

Phonics & Early Reading

Writing development

KS1 Maths

SEND-inclusive support

Confidence building for anxious or reluctant learners

My sessions are personalised, calm, and purposeful. I use clear routines, engaging activities, and adaptive strategies to meet each child’s needs. Parents receive regular feedback and simple progress updates so you always know how your child is growing.

Whether your child needs targeted intervention, a confidence boost, or ongoing support, I provide high-quality teaching that helps them feel capable, proud, and excited to learn.

Each session follows a simple, predictable structure that helps children feel safe, calm, and ready to learn:

Warm-up & Connection — A quick check-in, a confidence-boosting starter, and a recap of previous learning.

Focused Teaching Input — I introduce or revisit a skill using clear modelling, visuals, and step-by-step explanations.

Guided Practice — We work together, using prompts, scaffolds, and strategies tailored to your child’s learning style.

Independent Try — Your child applies the skill with growing independence while I support, observe, and adjust.

Review & Celebrate — We reflect on what went well, what we’ll build on next time, and end with a positive moment.

This routine keeps lessons structured but flexible, allowing me to adapt in real time to your child’s needs.

My sessions are:

Calm, encouraging, and confidence-focused

Interactive and hands-on, using games, manipulatives, and creative tasks

Adaptive, especially for children with SEND or anxiety

Paced carefully, ensuring understanding before moving on

Rooted in positive behaviour strategies that help children feel capable and proud

I build strong rapport with pupils, using warmth, humour, and clear expectations to create a safe learning environment where mistakes are part of the journey.

As a qualified Primary teacher, I bring:

Classroom experience across EYFS and KS1

Training in phonics intervention, adaptive teaching, and SEND support

Experience supporting children with ADHD and other additional needs

Strong behaviour management grounded in positive reinforcement

A track record of helping children make rapid progress in reading, writing, and maths

I’ve taught whole classes, small groups, and 1:1 interventions — and I bring that same professional standard to my tutoring.

You’ll receive:

Clear communication

Regular progress updates

A tutor who genuinely cares about your child’s wellbeing and confidence

Lessons that feel structured, purposeful, and enjoyable

My goal is simple: to help your child feel confident, capable, and excited to learn.
