About Me

I provide private tutoring for Nursery, Reception and Key Stage 1 aged children. I have specialised in Early Years Education and have extensive experience in working with a variety of SEN children.

My Experience

I have lived in London, England since 1988, during which time I have enjoyed a very successful career in the education sector. I have been a primary school teacher for over 30 years and have held senior positions, including assistant head teacher. During my career I have been instrumental in leading my Schools to achieve an Ofsted Outstanding rating.

My passion for teaching is fundamentally driven by my desire to positively impact young children's lives, by empowering them through instilling confidence in their abilities in order for them to thrive and succeed.

I have many years of experience in teaching children with special needs as well as working with targeted children to help them to further improve their knowledge and understanding of different subjects. I have specialised in Early Years education and understand the importance of building a firm foundation to the child's learning. I am fully qualified to teach children to read and write using phonics as well as incorporating fun and engaging learning activities to ensure your child looks forward to our sessions.

Alongside my career, I have also created a loving family with my late husband, whereby we had two boys who are now adults and successfully leading their own lives. Alongside school, I also tutored my own children using the same approach I do with my current students. Both of my children excelled in their studies and progressed to further academic study in leading British Universities, Cambridge. Whatever your ambitions are for your child, I will ensure that they have all the resources and guidance to achieve their full potential.

Please feel free to contact me so that we can discuss the specific needs of your child. I very much look forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards,

Minna Grigorian

Our experience with Minna has been outstanding. From the very first session, they built a great rapport with my son and quickly identified his strengths and areas to improve. The lessons are well-structured, engaging, and tailored to his needs. We’ve noticed a huge boost in his confidence and performance at school. I’d recommend Miss Minna to any parent looking for a dedicated and inspiring tutor.”

Minna is nothing short of amazing tutor and a person! Her patience, dedication, and ability to adapt to each child's needs is something that she has always been willing to give. My son has been working with her for over an year now and I must say that they have built a great relationship and he has improved in his academic performance and confidence significantly. He is looking forward to every lesson as each one is engaging and effective. Minna’s one-on-one approach is amazing, as is her support for us as parents.

Minna has been tutoring my son for just over a year, and the growth he has had has been phenomenal. Minna has the patience, discipline and duty of care. She truly is passionate about her students growth both academically and in life. She was able to break things down to fit my son’s ability and understanding and he loves going to tuition, it’s something he looks forward to. She also helps us as parents navigate and help our child by giving tips and pointers how we can help him at home which I think is invaluable.Thank you Minna
