Rosie

Hello! I’m Rosie - a teacher with over 8 years of classroom experience in a British Curriculum international preschool and primary school, where I also served as Head of English. For the past three years, I’ve also worked as a private English tutor, supporting both children and adults - from native speakers to EAL learners - to gain confidence, fluency, and accuracy in English.

My approach is structured, creative, and personal. Every learner is different, so I build lessons around your goals, whether that’s learning to read, improving pronunciation, or writing essays that shine.

What I Offer

Phonics for Early Readers

A complete first-steps reading programme built around rhymes, actions, and storybooks, helping younger learners connect sounds, meaning, and joy in reading.

Phonics for Older Learners

A confidence-building course for students who need an extra boost with decoding and reading fluency or who are learning to read in English for the first time.

Conversation-Based Grammar (A1–B2)

Interactive sessions focused on natural grammar, vocabulary, and speaking fluency - perfect for learners who want to sound more confident and accurate in everyday English.

Essay & Writing Skills Programme

Structured lessons to strengthen sentence structure, coherence, and style, ideal for students who need to improve schoolwork, academic writing, or general written communication.

Advanced English (C1–C2)

A challenging programme for near-fluent learners, exploring phrasal verbs, idioms, and natural expression in both speaking and writing.

**Handwriting Support**

Help for students who want to improve the legibility of their handwriting or learn how to write in cursive

UK Primary English General Support

I also support students within all areas of the UK Primary English curriculum, including reading comprehension, spelling, grammar and writing. Lessons are designed to build confidence, reinforce school learning, and fill any gaps in understanding and skill.

Tailored or Hybrid Programmes

Teaching Style:

My lessons are warm, supportive, and organised. I combine structure with creativity - bringing in stories, visuals, and real-life contexts to make English engaging and meaningful. Most of all, I aim to help my students feel confident, capable, and inspired to use English in the real world.
