Specialist tuition for children aged 4-18
I have been teaching since 2003. I have taught in primary, secondary, mainstream and SEND. I am now a full-time tutor working 1-1 with children aged 4 to 18. The image above is an imaginary depiction of Mars. Many years ago, Buzz Aldrin left a note at my primary school and it read 'Reach for the Stars'. It was displayed outside the Headmaster's office. It inspired me then. It inspires me now. My work is supporting children to reach those stars through outstanding tuition.
Since 2003, I have taught thousands of children from 3-18. I have taught the 'a' sound in Nursery through to 'Political Economy' at A-Level. I can teach English and Mathematics from EYFS to GCSE. In 2022, I began working as a full-time tutor with schools, Local Authorities and privately, delivering English, Mathematics, 11+ and Functional Skills tuition.
My job is to teach knowledge and skills. That starts with the learner, recognising their unique needs, motivations and triggers. Through careful planning, preparation and tuition, learning takes place and success is achieved. The beauty of tutoring, is that a range of interventions and strategies can be used, 1-1, at the correct pace for the child.
I am a member of The Tutor's Association and satisfy all necessary legal requirements (GDPR etc.). I have Qualified Teacher Status (2004) and my Enhanced DBS is on the Update Service. I annually complete Safeguarding Training. I also have Public Liability Insurance worth £5,000,000. All relevant documents will be provided.

My passions are pedagogy, curricula and SEND. My work is the teaching of children in 1-1 tutoring sessions. I teach English, Mathematics, the 11+ and Functional Skills from EYFS to GCSE. My own children are autistic and one also has ADHD, which means my working day is built around their transitions into and out of school. Whatever a child's starting-point, all can achieve, once a relationship is established and motivators are identified. These may be the joy of learning something new or ten minutes with a VR headset. Each child is different and I have seen so many children flourish when they come to know themselves and turn their unique characteristics into superpowers. If you would like academic 1-1 support for any child, whether you are a school, a local authority or a parent, whatever the child's age or present levels, whatever their SEND or not, then do make contact below and let us start a conversation. My work takes place in various locations, such as homes, libraries, schools and cafés. I will work with you to deliver what you need. Each child is unique and each, with the right support, can learn and develop in awesome (and inspiring) ways. Every child can achieve their dreams and reach those stars.
1-to-1, face-to-face, online and hybrid, there are many approaches that can be taken to deliver tuition. Do make contact to discuss your tuition needs. I look forward to hearing from you.
