Katie Dobson

I’m an experienced Primary & SEN Teacher, working in a variety of primary schools in Scotland, and then across the local authority as a Nurture Teacher helping schools create nurturing and supporting environments and curriculums for their students, along with developing and facilitating training for leadership teams and university students on teaching programmes. I'm a specialist in communication strategies, and student and teacher mental health support, and I'm happy to incorporate this into our learning.

Students: I like to create bespoke learning experiences for my students starting with an emotional check in and how you are feeling about the day, and how you feel about learning that day. I can then attune to you and go at the pace you need, whilst challenging and supporting you in a safe & fun setting. We’ll look at what you’re learning in school and I’ll create lessons to support this learning and help you to understand and consolidate. 1-1 support will help you to feel confident and happy whatever the subject.

I like to help you to learn, and explore concepts, whilst asking questions but also creating a place you can advance your skills in analysis and evaluation. Problem solving is a useful tool, and so it’s important that I help you discover how to learn, and the best ways for you to advance your understanding of a subject.

Parents: I'm more than happy to meet with you during our first session, and send you my teacher registration number, along with PVG certification and qualifications.
