With over six years of experience in Early Childhood Education and Special Educational Needs (SEN), I am a dedicated, adaptable tutor who empowers students to build confidence, overcome barriers, and achieve their academic potential. I bring a calm, patient, and personalised approach to every session, ensuring each student feels understood, supported, and motivated to succeed. I specialise in working with children with Autism, ADHD, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, Dyscalculia, SEMH needs, and behavioural challenges. My strength lies in tailoring lessons to match each child’s unique learning style—whether they need to strengthen core skills, stay engaged, or catch up academically. For the past three years, I’ve supported students both online and in person as well as homeschooling across English, Maths, Primary Education, and SATs/11+ preparation. I’ve helped many gain admission to their top-choice schools, and I’m confident in preparing learners for selective assessments, exams, interviews, and smooth academic transitions. As a TEFL-certified educator, I also teach English as a Foreign Language to children and adults, helping them develop fluency, grammar, and confidence in both spoken and written English. My sessions are interactive, structured, and engaging—carefully designed to meet each learner’s goals. Parents value my ability to support multiple areas of learning, offering consistency from a trusted tutor who truly understands how their child learns best. Above all, I’m passionate about making learning a positive, empowering experience. I help students believe in themselves—and that’s where real success begins.
