My Summary
About Me
Lessons will take place at Patch Twickenham - KOA KIDS - in a bright and airy room with a café area for parents to wait comfortably, right in the heart of Twickenham with parking nearby.
I am a dedicated primary maths and English tutor who believes every child can succeed. I create a calm, supportive, and joyful learning environment, making lessons fun, creative, and engaging while building strong foundations, boosting confidence, and inspiring a lifelong love of learning.
My Experience
At Koa Kids, my aim is to help every child grow in confidence and enjoy learning.
Maths:
My maths programme blends Singapore Maths mastery with White Rose Maths resources, fully aligned with the UK National Curriculum. Children develop number fluency, reasoning skills, and their ability to problem-solve efficiently.
Times Tables: Dedicated practice with a clear progression from basic doubles to all tables 1–12, including fun games and short tests.
English:
My English programme helps children become confident, creative communicators.
Reading: I use the VIPERS framework to strengthen comprehension through Vocabulary, Inference, Prediction, Explanation, Retrieval, and Summarising.
Writing: I guide children through creative and descriptive writing, helping them plan, draft, and refine their work, with supportive tools such as word banks, sentence starters, and prompts to spark ideas and build confidence.
Handwriting & Spelling: Cursive practice plus spelling tailored to year groups (Years 1–2 phonics-based; Years 3–6 statutory lists).
Grammar: Engaging, nature-inspired activities from The Natural Curriculum, linking learning to wildlife and the environment.
My teaching philosophy is rooted in the belief that every child deserves a calm, supportive environment where learning is a joy. I combine strong subject knowledge with creative, engaging lessons that make even the most challenging topics feel approachable and enjoyable. My aim is always to build solid foundations in maths and English while nurturing essential lifelong skills such as problem-solving, resilience, and curiosity.
Over the years, I’ve seen children flourish when they feel believed in, inspired, and challenged in the right way.
