Private Tutor in Royal: Greenwich (also available for babysitting)
My Summary
About Me
Hi, I’m Zahida! I’m a Qualified Teacher and Ofsted-registered childcare provider based in South East London. Over the last decade, I’ve worked with children aged 5 to 18 as a classroom teacher, holiday club founder, tutor, and group leader—and now, I bring that background into private nannying and childminding. My goal is always simple: to give children a warm, engaging space to grow, and to give parents complete peace of mind.
Having set up my own Ofsted-registered holiday care and led school departments, safety and organization are second nature to me. I hold an Enhanced DBS (on the Update Service), Paediatric First Aid (exp. 2028), EpiPen certification, and yearly safeguarding training. I also have my own car and a clean UK driving licence with over 10 years of driving experience, making school runs and day trips smooth and stress-free.
I believe in setting kind, consistent boundaries, encouraging positive behavior, and keeping lines of communication completely open with parents. I'd love to help support your family's daily routine!

My Experience
I’ve been working with children since I was 16—starting as a tutor at Explore Learning before chasing my passion for teaching and earning my Qualified Teacher Status by age 21. Today, I’m an experienced teacher and Ofsted-registered childcare provider based in South East London.
I work with children year-round, both during term time and through school holidays. What I bring to families is the best of both worlds: strong primary classroom and curriculum knowledge paired with the fun, high-energy, and creative spirit of running holiday camps. Whether we're tackling phonics and early maths, diving into hands-on art projects, or getting outdoors, I keep learning active and engaging.
Safety and smooth logistics are at the heart of everything I do. Having set up my own Ofsted-registered holiday club, I hold an Enhanced DBS (Update Service), Paediatric First Aid (exp. 2028), EpiPen training, and annual safeguarding certification. I also have over 10 years of driving experience with a clean licence and my own car, making school drop-offs, pick-ups, and day trips completely hassle-free.
