My Summary
About Me
Hi, I'm Ally and I'm a friendly, dedicated and reliable tutor. I’m very passionate about education and learning and also very kind and patient with my students. I engage my students with activities and usually move on from one topic every 15 minutes or so to keep the students focused. Once I know what the student needs to work on I can tailor lessons to focus on what they need most.
I currently tutor twelve students in-person aged between 5 and 11, the majority of my students have SEN such as ASD, ADHD and I tutor neurotypical students also.
I currently have space only for day time students (home schooled or on a reduced timetable) or online students.
As an experienced tutor, I specialize in primary education (all subjects) as well as English at all levels catering to the individual learning needs of each student. I tailor my approach to each individual student to make learning enjoyable and productive for all.

Ally is an outstanding tutor who shows incredible patience, understanding, and flexibility. This has been essential for my 7-year-old daughter, who has ASD and ADHD. Ally has a real gift for building trust and engagement, especially with children who learn differently.
She is professional, warm, and fun, and has formed a strong connection with my daughter, always adapting sessions to meet her individual needs. With Ally’s support, my daughter has grown in confidence and academically. This progress truly reflects Ally’s dedication, skill, and passion.
We have worked with Ally for over a year and would highly recommend her to any family looking for a supportive and knowledgeable tutor.
