Private Tutor in Thornton Heath
My Summary
About Me
Hello! I’m a friendly, patient and enthusiastic tutor and children’s wellbeing practitioner based in London. I specialise in supporting primary-aged children, including those with Special Educational Needs (SEND). Alongside academic tutoring, I also offer children’s yoga and mindfulness sessions to help build confidence, focus and emotional wellbeing. Every child learns differently, so I create personalised, engaging sessions that make learning enjoyable and help children reach their full potential.
My Experience
I have several years of experience supporting children in educational and private settings. My background includes working with children with Special Educational Needs (SEND), delivering one-to-one academic support, and adapting learning to suit individual needs and communication styles. Alongside private tutoring in phonics, English and Bulgarian, I have also planned and delivered children’s yoga and mindfulness sessions for both SEN and mainstream children. These sessions focus on movement, breathing, relaxation and emotional wellbeing, helping children build confidence, concentration and self-regulation. My experience allows me to combine education, wellbeing and personalised support to help every child thrive.
