My online English lessons are engaging, structured, and designed to help children in Years 2–6 grow in confidence and ability. With 17 years of primary teaching experience and PGCE and QTS qualifications, I understand how children learn best and how to build strong foundations in grammar, vocabulary, reading, and writing.

Each lesson follows a clear format: a warm-up activity to review prior learning, explicit teaching of a focused skill, guided practice, and an independent task to apply new knowledge. I use quizzes, short video clips, targeted questioning, and creative tasks to keep lessons dynamic and interactive. My questioning style encourages deeper thinking and supports children in explaining their reasoning.

I use multi-sensory approaches to make learning memorable and accessible. For example, pupils might: Use colour-coding to identify parts of speech, act out verbs and adverbs to understand word function or watch short video clips to stimulate discussion and vocabulary development. My lessons are creative, structured, and tailored to each child’s needs, ensuring steady progress and growing confidence in English.

My ultimate goal is to ensure that every child leaves each lesson feeling successful, motivated, and proud of their progress. I carefully tailor activities to suit individual strengths and areas for development, providing clear feedback and achievable next steps. By combining structure with creativity and encouragement, I help pupils develop resilience, independence, and a genuine enjoyment of English that supports them not only in school, but in their wider learning journey.
