My Services

When I start tutoring a child, I like to spend some time getting to know them and informally assessing their needs. I aim to identify strengths and vulnerabilities so I can suggest a programme of support through personalised support sessions. Early intervention and individualised sessions are key. I can offer support with:

  • Maths

  • English (the acquisition of phonics skills, spelling, reading and writing)

  • Early learning skills

  • Study skills

  • Emotional regulation

I offer after school tutoring at your home or at my home in Winsley. I am also happy to tutor in your child’s school (provided you can arrange this with school). I offer daytime sessions throughout school holidays.

What are the benefits of tutoring/1:1 support?

Having worked in schools for 15 years and with my special interest in children who find learning challenging, I strongly believe that 1:1 support can help children:

  • Embed early skills that might be making the foundations of learning shaky and difficult to build on.

  • Untangle misconceptions which are creating barriers to learning.

  • Manage their emotional regulation which might be impacting on their enjoyment of school and their learning.

  • Develop a growth mindset which means they have a more positive attitude towards learning.

  • Build executive functioning skills.

  • Take responsibility for their learning journey.

  • Discover motivation and new passions.
