My Summary

Tutor & Babysitter

My Experience

Hello, I’m Yasmin

I’m passionate about helping children develop confidence, independence, and a genuine love of learning. I specialise in supporting nursery and primary-aged children with Maths and English, including children with Special Educational Needs (SEN) and those who may need additional support with their learning.

I have worked in education since 2018, gaining experience in both state and independent schools and supporting children from a wide range of backgrounds. A large part of my experience has involved working one-to-one with children, helping them overcome barriers to learning, develop new skills, and celebrate their progress.

My approach to teaching

I believe every child learns differently, so I take a personalised, child-centred approach to tutoring. Before beginning sessions, I like to get to know the child and their family, understand their strengths and interests, and identify any areas where they may benefit from additional support. This helps me tailor activities and lessons to suit their individual needs and learning style.

My teaching is engaging, practical, and fun. I enjoy using active learning, hands-on activities, games, real-life experiences, and a variety of resources to make learning meaningful and enjoyable. I want children to feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes, and trying new things while developing confidence in their abilities.

I have extensive experience supporting children with SEN and have completed specialist training covering a range of additional needs, including speech and language development and occupational therapy approaches. This allows me to adapt my communication, activities, and teaching strategies to help each child access learning in a way that works for them.

Who I support

I offer support in Maths and English for:

• Nursery-aged children
• Primary-aged children
• Children who need additional support with learning
• Children with Special Educational Needs (SEN)
• Children requiring speech and language support
• Children who would benefit from building confidence and independence in their learning

Whether your child needs help catching up, building confidence, preparing for school, developing key skills, or simply needs learning to be presented in a way that works for them, I aim to make every session positive and encouraging.

Flexible sessions

I offer flexible session lengths to suit your child and family:

• 1 hour
• 1 hour 30 minutes
• 2 hours

Sessions can be arranged after school, at weekends, and during school holidays.

I offer sessions online or in person, and depending on location and what works best for your family, I can travel to your home or welcome your child to mine.

My goal

My goal is to create a safe, supportive, and positive learning environment where every child feels valued and capable. I want children to feel proud of their progress, develop greater independence, and understand that making mistakes is a natural and important part of learning.

For me, one of the most rewarding parts of working with children is seeing that moment when something finally clicks — and watching their confidence grow as they realise what they are capable of achieving.

I look forward to getting to know your child and supporting them on their learning journey.
