Private Tutor in Cambridge (also available for babysitting)
My Summary
About Me
Hello, I'm Alice! A calm and friendly qualified teacher with 7+ years experience supporting children with confidence, independence and learning skills across mainstream, special schools, and children's clubs.
Over the summer, I am offering explorative and engaging learning-enrichment sessions to boost the confidence and skills of your child, readying them for the next school year and building their love of learning. These sessions can either be with or without childcare, as a tutor or a babysitter.
Sessions can focus on any combination of the following, according to your preferences:
> Reading (including phonics, comprehension and reading for pleasure)
> Maths
> Literacy (including spelling, grammar and writing for pleasure)
> Other national curriculum subjects
> SATs support
My approach is child-centred and personalised. I take time to understand your child's interests, motivations, strengths and areas of weaker understanding. I tailor sessions to ensure they move towards their goals whilst building self-esteem and a positive relationship with learning.
I have experience supporting children with autism, ADHD and other specific learning difficulties- please get in touch to discuss any additional needs your child may need support with.
Sessions can include mindfulness, brain breaks, sensory-friendly approaches and strategies to help children feel comfortable, motivated and ready to learn.
I work with children between the ages of 5-11 in school years 1-6.
I can offer:
> Regular tuition or childcare
> Trial sessions
> One-off learning boost sessions
> Last-minute babysitting
I can travel within a 30 minute radius of CB2, though do get in touch if you are outside of this range as I am happy to discuss options.
Feel free to contact me with any questions or queries - I'd love to hear about how I can support you and your child/ren this summer :)
I have an enhanced DBS on the online update service.
