My Summary
About Me
I am a qualified primary school teacher and have a passion for helping children to unlock their potential.
My Experience
If you are looking for 1:1 sessions in person or online for September 2025, please read below and feel free to contact me.
Currently working in upper key stage 2, I have 20 years experience of working in education. I have been working in education since 2004 and in Trafford for the last 11 years. I have a secondary school aged child of my own so I can relate both professionally and personally to the educational needs of the child. I have a wide range of primary school experience from Early Years to Year 6 as well as extensive 11plus experience, experience with special needs, dyslexia and speech and language difficulties.
I offer:
11 plus tuition £36 per hour
Tuition for children who have gaps or find maths or english challenging. £36 per hour
Dyslexia support £40 per hour
Assessments to identify gaps
Experience with additional needs
I am very flexible in my approach. I predominantly offer 1:1 face to face tuition but have used online tutoring if there is a need. This flexible approach allows those with busy lives to opt for online options occasionally if the need arises to maintain continuity.
If you are looking for a tutor for 11 plus preparation and your child is starting Year 4 or 5 now is the time to get in touch to reserve your place.
Please note that the available dates have some degree of flexibility during school holidays, but tend to be fixed slots during term time.
My Qualifications
B.Ed (hons) primary education from manchester metropolitan university.
I am also a Elklan speech and language practitioner and qualified in dyslexia support
My Availability
Now taking bookings for 11plus tuition ideally suitable for years in preparation for 2025/26 entrance tests.
Also available for primary english and maths tuition for other year groups or non 11plus needs.

We came to TutorHal with no tutor experience when my daughter was in Year 4, whilst we were starting our 11+ prep. TutorHal quickly picked up her areas of difficulty and outlined all her gaps almost immediately. I noticed the confidence in my daughter very quickly and most importantly she began to enjoy the prep TutorHal was doing with her. I couldn't have asked for any more with the 11+ prep, TutorHal set homework according to what she knew my daughter could handle and pushed my daughter to what she was capable of achieving. I feel incredibly fortunate to have found TutorHal for my daughter as she has always been so supportive and honest with us. My daughter is about to take the exam and I can honestly say my daughter is feeling very positive and confident with her prep, it's all down to TutorHal. She has always taken the time to give us detailed feedback after the sessions and is always happy to help us with anything we need during the week via messages. She has been going beyond our expectations from a tutor. TutorHal has such a caring nature and my daughter will really miss her.
We've been so pleased with the tutoring for my daughter, I've also started my 5 year old with TutorHal. Again, she is amazing with closing the gaps he has and the best part is the fact that even my 5 year old really enjoys going to the tutoring lessons with her!. I feel so relieved we found TutorHal and look forward to continuing our tutoring journey with her.

With the help of TutorHale, my 4 year old son learned how to blend words. He now enjoys reading CVC stories. Thank you.

It was lovely to speak to TutorHale on the phone. She arranged for us to come round and meet her in her setting. Great little set up with separate entrance to the office. She was able to answer all our questions and we started our first lesson with her. So far so good!! Thank you!

TutorHale was able to get my eldest through the 11 plus and pass. She really helped put our minds at rest and was very clear with expectations from the beginning. The 1:1 tuition we received helped target the areas my son was weaker on and so helped improve on these areas further.
We are now back with her for our youngest! Who unfortunately has not been in one of the allocated year groups since the schools partially re-opened, so we have started her with TutorHale now that she will be starting Year4 to help cover any gaps in english and maths and prepare for the 11 plus.

Exactly what we needed! We needed someone who could support our daughter with dyslexia and offer some flexibility in helping with homework tasks that were tricky. TutorHale understood how to approach this and helped our daughter improve in literacy, in particular strategies to help with spelling and reading were really helpful and we could use those at home too.
