My Summary
About Me
As a nanny and tutor with a background in Psychology and a deep passion for education, I offer a thoughtful blend of childcare and academic support designed to help children and teens feel confident, supported, and capable. With experience working with children aged 4–12 and students up to A-Level, I aim to create a nurturing and engaging learning environment that adapts to each student’s individual needs.
Here’s what I offer:
-Homework Help & Academic Support:
I support children with their homework and school projects, helping them develop strong study habits, stay organised, and gain confidence in their abilities.
-Private English Tutoring (Primary, (i)GCSE, and Exam Prep):
I teach English language and literature at a variety of levels, including preparation for (i)GCSE exams. I focus on key skills like close reading, analytical writing, creative expression, and exam techniques in an approachable, student-centered way.
-A-Level Psychology, Sociology and English Literature Tutoring:
I offer in-depth support for A-Level students, helping them understand complex psychological theories, essay structures, and exam strategies. My approach is flexible, combining revision with critical thinking, discussion, and real-world connections to deepen understanding and engagement.
Creative & Interactive Learning:
I integrate storytelling, arts and crafts, games, and music (I play guitar, piano, sing and
write songs - I offer music tutoring) to make sessions more engaging—especially for younger learners. I believe creativity is central to effective learning.
Childcare & Emotional Support:
I provide caring and attentive nannying services, always creating a safe, warm environment where children can feel secure, express themselves, and grow socially and emotionally.
Flexible, In-Home Sessions:
I offer adaptable scheduling to suit your family’s routine and your child’s pace, whether they need academic support, a creative outlet, or simply consistent, quality care.
Having lived in six countries and tutored students with different cultural and educational backgrounds, I bring patience, adaptability, and a global perspective to every session. I’m genuinely passionate about helping children and young people find joy and confidence in learning.
