About Me

I am a dedicated and passionate primary school teacher with a strong background in education and a commitment to helping every child thrive. With a BA (Hons) in Education Studies, a PGCE in Primary Education with QTS, and experience teaching across Key Stage 2, I bring both academic knowledge and practical classroom expertise to my work.

Currently in the final stage of my Early Career Teacher (ECT) programme, I have developed a teaching style that is engaging, inclusive, and responsive to the individual needs of my students. I am also an experienced private tutor, supporting children in building their confidence and achieving their full potential in core subjects like English and maths.

Beyond the classroom, I’m someone who values creativity, cultural exploration, and personal growth. I approach every learning opportunity with energy, empathy, and a genuine desire to make a positive impact on young learners’ lives.

My Experience

As a qualified KS2 teacher with extensive classroom experience and a strong background in private tutoring, my approach is centred around building confidence, closing learning gaps, and making learning engaging and tailored to each child’s needs. I create a supportive environment where students feel safe to ask questions, make mistakes, and grow.

I use a range of evidence-based teaching strategies, including modelling, guided practice, and plenty of opportunities for independent application. I incorporate visuals, games, real-life examples, and structured scaffolding to keep lessons interactive and accessible. I regularly assess progress through informal assessments and feedback, adapting my teaching style to best suit the learning pace and style of the individual child.

My tutoring sessions typically last 60/120 minutes, with a clear structure that includes a starter to recap prior learning, a main teaching focus, and time for practice and reflection. For younger children or those with shorter attention spans, I can adjust the lesson length to 45 minutes if needed.

I hold a BA (Hons) in Education Studies and a PGCE in Primary Education with QTS. I’ve taught across Key Stage 2 and have several years of experience supporting children through private one-to-one tutoring in English and maths, helping them prepare for SATs, build subject confidence, and exceed their academic targets.

I tutor primary-aged children, mainly in Key Stage 2 (ages 7–11), including Year 5 and Year 6 students preparing for SATs. I also support children who may need targeted interventions, catch-up support, or stretch and challenge in specific areas.

My Qualifications

I hold a BA (Hons) in Education Studies and a Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) in Primary Education with Qualified Teacher Status (QTS).
