Kristina
Private Tutor in Edinburgh (also available for babysitting)
My Summary
About Me
I am a qualified primary teacher offering tailored academic support across the full primary curriculum (P1–P7 / KS1–KS2). Alongside core subject tuition, I specialise in supporting children experiencing school anxiety, low confidence and additional support needs. My approach is nurture-led and relationship-focused — I believe that all behaviour is communication, and that children learn best when they feel safe, understood and engaged.
Through my work as a class teacher, I am aware that many families are navigating long waiting lists for support services such as CAMHS or specialist referrals. While I do not provide therapy or clinical intervention, I offer structured, anxiety-aware educational support that can help maintain engagement with learning during periods of uncertainty or transition.
What I Offer:
• Full primary curriculum support (P1–P7 / KS1–KS2)
• Maths and literacy confidence-building
• Anxiety-informed tutoring for school avoidance and emotionally sensitive learners
• SEN and additional support needs (ASN)
• Language tuition for all ages (German, Russian, French)
• Support with “learning how to learn” and executive skills
• Transition support (starting school, moving stages, return to school)
• Bespoke homeschooling programmes, particularly during travel
My Approach:
• Calm, structured and predictable sessions
• Incorporating children’s interests to build engagement
• Close communication with parents
• Experience working alongside schools and multi-agency teams
• Psychology-informed practice (currently completing MSc in Psychology)
I offer affordable rates and discounts. Please do contact me with your query and I can be flexible on pricing depending on needs and circumstances.
