My lessons are structured, supportive, and tailored to each child’s individual needs and learning style. I create a calm, encouraging environment where children feel confident to ask questions, make mistakes, and develop a genuine understanding of the subject.
Each lesson typically begins with a short warm-up to review previous topics or build key skills, followed by focused activities that target specific learning objectives. I use a mix of teaching methods, including interactive tasks, visual aids, games, and practice questions, to keep sessions engaging and varied. Lessons are paced appropriately for the student, with plenty of encouragement and opportunities to check understanding.
I specialise in primary education, with a particular focus on SATs and 11+ preparation. For SATs, I help children strengthen their maths, reading comprehension, and SPaG (spelling, punctuation and grammar) skills, while also building exam confidence and time management. For 11+, I cover verbal and non-verbal reasoning, alongside maths and English, using targeted resources and mock exam practice to prepare students thoroughly.
With experience supporting a wide range of primary learners—from those needing extra support to those aiming for selective schools—I adapt my approach to meet each child’s academic level and confidence. My goal is to help every student progress steadily while building a positive attitude toward learning.
Whether your child needs help catching up, preparing for exams, or simply boosting their confidence, my lessons provide a structured, friendly space to support their growth and success.
