About Me
Hello! I’m a caring, qualified secondary school teacher and experienced English tutor with a passion for supporting children and young people. I hold an MA in Writing and a BA in English and Spanish, and I offer tutoring in English from primary level through to post-18, including academic writing, entrance exam preparation, and confidence-building.
I’ve worked in after-school and holiday clubs and completed childminder and safeguarding training with Manchester City Council. I currently support children in SEN and SEMH provision and create calm, age-appropriate environments that nurture wellbeing, learning, and self-expression.
As a career changer, I bring fresh energy and a values-led approach to childcare. I offer flexible support, including short-notice and overnight care for shift and service workers, and love helping children thrive through creative activities, outdoor play, and tailored educational support. After 20 years building a career and raising my own child, I understand the challenges of being a working parent.
I speak Spanish and understand French and Italian, and my international experience helps me connect with families from diverse backgrounds. I’m also training as an executive coach and committed to helping children grow in confidence and independence.
Please note: different rates apply for tutoring and babysitting. Feel free to message me through the platform for details.
My Experience

I love the vibrancy of working with children, and believe strongly in fun, education, and learning.
