About me

I have history of home schooling and I learnt a lot from that experience. I learnt that children engage much more when they find something interesting and exciting, even if it involves learning!

I have history of home schooling and I learnt a lot from that experience. I learnt that children engage much more when they find something interesting and exciting, even if it involves learning!

I tailor my lessons to the child's needs/ wants and communicate with the child and parent(s) if they need more focused work on a specific topic. If they are sruggling more with phonics, handwriting, spelling, finger spaces, creative writing, nouns, whatever it may be.. There is a lot I can offer to give them the extra boost they need to get ahead or catch up.

To maintain their natural curiosity, the lesson are bright, colorful, personalized and designed in a way to help children to learn without realizing it!

If your child has a special interest, please let me know! I work along side parents to better understand how your child learns, whether that be practical, learning my doing or by watching etc.

I have experience with children on the S.E.N.D register, as well as autism. A lot of tutors find these types of qualities to be 'something to overcome' but for myself, once we find the right routine and structure, ALL kids can come on leaps and bounds. They just need the time and care to kick start it off!

Not only do these lessons expand their knowledge, but it expands their confidence, creativity and imagination. Once a child understands that they CAN solve this problem, or they CAN read this word and sound it out as example.

Let's get those brains going!
