My Experience
Experienced Montessori Phonics, Maths, French & Arabic Tutor
Are you looking for extra support to help your child become more confident with reading and learning?
I am a qualified Montessori teacher with over 20 years of experience teaching children in Singapore, Dubai, and other parts of Asia and the Middle East. Over the years, I’ve worked with children of different ages and learning abilities, including children with autism, dyslexia, and those who simply need more patience and encouragement.
My lessons are calm, supportive, and tailored to each child’s pace and needs.
Montessori Phonics Programme
Using Montessori language materials, children learn to read step by step in a hands-on and enjoyable way.
Pink Scheme
* Learning letter sounds and formations using sandpaper letters
* Building simple phonetic words with the Large Movable Alphabet
* Reading words such as cat, pig, pot, and mug
* Learning to blend sounds confidently rather than memorising words
Blue Scheme
* Reading longer phonetic words
* Building words and simple sentences
* Improving reading fluency and vocabulary
Green Scheme
* Learning phonograms such as sh, ou, and ph
* Developing stronger reading, spelling, and comprehension skills
The aim is to help children become confident, independent readers who genuinely enjoy learning.
Montessori Maths
I also teach Montessori Maths using hands-on materials that help children understand concepts clearly before moving on to abstract work.
Children develop:
* strong number sense
* concentration and logical thinking
* confidence and independence
* understanding of size, quantity, length, and measurement
French & Arabic Lessons
I also offer beginner French and Arabic lessons for children in a friendly and encouraging environment.
Advanced Language Work
For children who complete the phonics programme and read fluently, I also offer:
* Montessori Grammar
* Advanced Vocabulary
Age Group
Lessons are available for children aged 3–10 years, and each lesson is planned according to the child’s level and learning style.
I truly enjoy helping children grow in confidence and seeing their progress over time. Many of the children I’ve taught have gone on to become happy, confident readers and learners.
For enquiries, please feel free to send me a private message or email.
Kind Regards

Miss Fad has been an exceptional tutor for my son. His reading skills and confidence have improved remarkably under her guidance. She combines patience with a structured, engaging approach that truly brings out the best in my son. I am very grateful for her dedication and would highly recommend her to any parent seeking a skilled and supportive tutor. My son's reading wouldn't have improved without fads extra help.

We’ve had a truly wonderful experience with Miss Fad. My son’s reading has improved massively, and his confidence has grown so much. Her patience, combined with her encouraging yet firm approach, has made a real difference. Fad took the time to understand his learning style and tailored each session to keep it engaging and effective. My son always looks forward to their lessons each week and has made noticeable progress in a short time. I’m so grateful for the care and dedication Fad has shown, and I would highly recommend her to any parent looking for a supportive and skilled tutor.

Dear Marella
I appreciate tremendously your trust and kind words, working with your little boy is an immense joy and I can’t wait to see him achieving his full potential soon .
Kind Regards
Fad🌹❤️
We’ve had a truly wonderful experience with Fad as our son’s tutor. She has been working with our 5-year-old for a few months now, and we’re continuing because he genuinely enjoys his sessions with her. Fad has a fantastic way of engaging him, even when he’s a little restless, and she’s always patient, encouraging, and effective in her approach.
Thanks to her support, our son recently passed his phonics screening check, and we couldn’t be more delighted. It’s clear that Fad is not only committed to her work but also has a natural talent for teaching young children. We honestly couldn’t recommend her highly enough.

She creates a calm and motivating environment where children feel confident to learn and grow. My daughter looked forward to every session and her improvement was noticeable in just a few weeks. I can’t recommend Fad enough—she truly goes above and beyond!

Having Fad for my boys for the last 18 months has really changed my boys education. I have noticed a big change in my eldest son's Maths and English education. He is more and more independent in reading by himself and he has really improved in his timetables as well. My youngest son is doing, really well in his reading and can now put sentences together. I can't thank Fad enough as she really has inspired my boys in doing well in their education. I would highly recommend her if your child is struggling at school, eldest son has a lot of confidence in his reading now as,well

Thanks for your trust and kind words.🌹
We had been using dad for just over a year. She is dedicated to her work and very passionate about Montessori method of teaching. I had used 4 other tutors prior to dad and I wasn’t happy with the lack of progress that’s why I thought I would give dad a try, she ended up staying with us for more than a year. Would highly recommend her

Fad has been brilliant with our 6 year old daughter. She has been patient and our daughter loves her. She has shown very good progress and has improved in her phonics. When we started our daughter was not confident but she has developed her phonics massively. Highly recommended! Thank you Fad!
