Michaela Patterson

My name is Michaela and I am a fully qualified Primary School Teacher with a First Class Honours Degree and six years of teaching experience. I have taught across all primary year groups, from Reception through to Year 6, and have worked in both mainstream and SEND settings.
I have extensive experience supporting children with a wide range of additional needs, including ASD, ADHD, Dyslexia, Dyscalculia and SEMH, and I am passionate about helping every child achieve their very best.

I provide high-quality, one-to-one tutoring that is carefully tailored to each child’s individual strengths, needs and learning style. I offer expert support across the primary curriculum, including Maths, Reading (with a strong focus on phonics), Writing, Spelling, Punctuation and Grammar, and Handwriting.

I work mainly in the Kettering and Corby areas, as well as nearby locations, and offer flexible tutoring sessions designed to fit around your family’s schedule.

I hold an Enhanced DBS, am fully safeguarding trained, and am first aid trained, ensuring a safe, professional and supportive learning environment at all times.

With the right guidance and support, I believe every child can unlock their full potential in a calm, positive and encouraging setting. This belief is captured in a quote that strongly reflects my approach to teaching:

“One child, one teacher, one book and one pen can change the world.”
— Malala Yousafzai

I look forward to working closely with you and your child to help them build confidence, make progress and thrive.
