Zakiya
Private Tutor in London: Brent (also available for babysitting)
My Summary
About Me
My name is Zakiya and I provide childcare, tutoring and structured after-school support for children in the early years and primary age range. I create a safe, nurturing and organised environment where children can learn, play and develop at their own pace.
My background in early years education and child development allows me to support both academic progress and personal confidence. I recognise that children thrive when they feel secure, understood and encouraged.
Alongside childcare, I offer tutoring with a focus on early literacy, phonics, numeracy, homework completion, school readiness and confidence building. Sessions are calm and positive so children stay motivated without feeling pressured.
My after-school clubs combine learning and enrichment through planned activities that encourage social skills, curiosity, creative thinking and independence. Children are supported to practice communication, teamwork and self-help skills in a relaxed setting.
I work closely with parents and carers to ensure continuity between home and school. Good communication is important to me and I aim to support each child’s emotional, social and academic development to build skills that will benefit them long term.
My Experience
I have over 12 years of experience working with children of all ages, across a variety of settings, including those with Special Educational Needs (SEN). I am also well-versed in both the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework and SEN practices, ensuring that every child’s individual development is supported according to their unique needs and abilities, helping them reach key learning and growth milestones.

Zakiya provides backup care for our twins when our usual childminder is unavailable. She's super reliable and responsive, always sends updates and photos, and our children love going to her house. They particularly love doing yoga and showing us the new moves they've learnt when they come home! We would absolutely recommend her to other families.

We’ve had the pleasure of knowing Zakya for the past year, during which she has worked as an assistant to our main childminder, Sarah. Zakya also stepped in to cover for Sarah at her own property for a week while Sarah was on leave. During that time, she provided outstanding care for our son.
Zakya is incredibly professional, warm, and trustworthy. Her communication is excellent—she speaks perfect English and always keeps us well-informed. She created a fun, safe, and engaging environment for the children, with plenty of thoughtful activities. Our son especially loved the outdoor space at her home, which included a sandpit & trampoline, and was suitable for play all year round.
She also cares for her own young daughter, who is absolutely lovely and gets on very well with our son. We are very happy with the care Zakya gave our child and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to other families.

Zakiya creates such a homely, welcoming environment our kids feel completely at ease with her. The space is always clean and tidy when we return, and she even puts care into preparing healthy meals the kids enjoy. Communication is great too; she's always clear, responsive, and thoughtful with updates. We feel very lucky to have found her!
