My Summary
About Me
Experienced and DBS checked, now available again for nannying, babysitting and tutoring!
I am friendly, patient, energetic and reliable with over 10 years of experience in childcare and tutoring. I have a passion for nurturing children and love investing my time in providing support, both academically and socially.
I am currently based in South East London. However, I am happy to travel and can accommodate most London areas.
I hold a BSc in Criminology from the University of Southampton, and my academic background includes A-Levels in Biology, Economics, Classical Civilisation, and Philosophy & Ethics. At GCSE, I achieved 3 A*s, 5 As and 3 Bs, with top grades in Maths, English and Triple Science.
In my spare time, I regularly go to the gym, play volleyball and love getting creative by cooking, painting or sewing. I hold a full driving license, am first aid trained, and have an enhanced DBS.
My Experience
CHILD CARE
I have experience caring for children from newborns through to teenagers, including those with a wide range of special educational needs such as autism, ADHD and dyslexia.
I have previously worked at the Phoenix Centre, a multi-disciplinary children’s resource centre with a neuro-developmental specialism, where I supported Early Years children with complex needs.
I have years of experience in babysitting and nannying which has included cooking, cleaning, school pick ups, helping with homework and putting the children to bed. I also come from a family of four sisters, so I am no stranger to the chaos that comes with a large family!
TUTORING
I have over 10 years of tutoring experience across a wide range of ages and subjects. I began tutoring at 18 while studying at Newstead Wood School for Girls and later ran my own successful tutoring business, specialising in one-to-one support for children aged 3 to 18, including those with SEN.
I currently tutor a wide variety of students, from KS1 to A-Level, and I pride myself on tailoring my teaching style to each learner. My sessions are engaging, encouraging and focused on helping students build confidence and reach their full academic potential. I have a strong track record of improving results and am particularly passionate about developing a love for learning in the students I work with.
With a warm, approachable style, I’ve built long-term relationships with many families, some of whom I’ve supported for several years. I also have a strong network of local tutors, which gives me access to a wide range of resources and fresh approaches that I regularly bring into my teaching.
