Victoria Hopkins

My lessons are friendly, relaxed and completely tailored to each child. I want children to feel comfortable, supported and confident, so there is never any pressure to be perfect or worry about getting things wrong.

I take time to understand how each child learns best and identify exactly where they need support. Lessons are engaging and encouraging, while still having a clear focus on making progress. I use a mixture of explanation, discussion, questioning and practical activities to help children understand concepts rather than simply memorising answers.

Whether your child needs to catch up, consolidate their learning, prepare for SATs or the 11+, or simply build their confidence, I adapt my approach to suit them. I am particularly passionate about helping children who have lost confidence in their abilities or find certain areas of learning difficult.

My aim is for every child to finish a lesson feeling that they have achieved something, understood something new and, most importantly, that they are capable of succeeding.
