I am a practicing primary school teacher and one-to-one tutor with vast experience of teaching in Key Stages 1 and 2. I am based in the Stoke-on-Trent and East Cheshire areas and can offer lessons face-to-face or remotely. I have many years' experience teaching on a one-to one basis and the high level of practice that I offer reflects 24 years’ experience in the classroom, as well as the wide range of current educational thinking and pedagogy that I have developed over time (such as the Rosenshine and Kagen principles). These approaches maximise the enjoyment, engagement and retention of key learning points - these are all key features in my approach. I make my lessons fun and relevant to suit each individual’s learning style and age range. Each lesson is tailored to ensure that the pupil’s current learning in school is supplemented and extended in order to build upon existing key skills and knowledge. As part of my skill set, I am able to prepare pupils for the end of key stage SATs tests and use a wide range of interactive resources to achieve this. In addition to delivering English and Mathematics lessons, I offer tuition in other primary subject areas. I also have experience of helping adults develop their skills in Mathematics and English and I continue to offer this service.

The first lesson free of charge as I use this session to assess a student's current abilities and learning needs; this enables me to plan lessons to suit the individual's needs.
