I have been a qualified teacher for 27 years and currently work in a local primary school as one half of a job share. I am a highly experienced, dedicated professional who has worked across all Key Stages from EYFS, KS1, KS2 to KS3. I have worked in schools throughout Cheshire, Trafford and Manchester.
In addition I have been tutoring privately for 15 years and have a proven track record of improved grades, common entrance and 11 plus success. Testimonials from current and past clients are always available. I am equally at home tutoring reception children to preparing children for Key Stage 1 SATS, year 6 SATS and all local common entrance exams for independent schools in Manchester, Altrincham, Sale and Cheshire.

Although I love being in the classroom I particularly enjoy working on a 1-1 basis which allows me to build excellent relationships with both parents and pupils. I can offer help with exam technique and always carry out an initial assessment for each pupil to identify any gaps in learning. I use this as a basis for planning my sessions. I leave homework and provide detailed feedback after each lesson.

Depending on my availability, I am willing to travel to clients or tutees can come to my house. I provide all resources and aim to make my sessions as engaging as possible. For younger pupils I incorporate games and the use of interactive, educational software to meet my session objectives and to make our time as much fun as possible.

I hold a full DBS check and can provide references if required.

I have very good interpersonal skills and an excellent sense of humour. I am married with two children aged 19 and 23. Please feel free to contact me for an informal discussion on how I can meet your needs
