About Me

I am a qualified Primary school teacher and tutor with over 25 years experience. I am passionate about nurturing young minds and fostering a love of learning with a proven track record of success. I offer tailored lessons that cater to your child's unique needs and learning style. I can offer fun and engaging lessons in Key Stage 1 and 2 . I can help your child with phonics, reading writing and Maths. I have experience preparing children for their phonics test, SATS at KS1 and 2, 7+ and 11+ entrance exams for both independent and grammar schools- this includes verbal and non verbal Reasoning, Maths and English ( Comprehension and Creative Writing )

My Experience

I have taught in both state and independent schools for over twenty five years in Essex, Redbridge, Newham and Waltham Forest . I have worked with children with a range of special needs as well as gifted and able children, and believe in valuing each child and enabling them to grow in confidence. I have experience of working with various age groups from 4 to 11

I am patient, understanding and able to form strong relationships with children to enable them to meet their needs, whether this is to catch up, keep up or get ahead. I have a consistently strong record of improving attainment standards in phonics, reading, writing and maths.

I prioritize building your child's confidence by creating a supportive, encouraging atmosphere. As they conquer challenges, overcome obstacles, they develop the self assurance needed to excel both academically and personally.

I plan, teach and assess outstanding and enjoyable lessons for your child and very much hope you will consider me as your child’s tutor.

I can offer One to One in person tutoring, small group tutoring or Online Tutoring .

Outstanding Tutor

5 stars

I would thoroughly recommend Sonia. She is an outstanding tutor, great at building relationships, structured in her approach and patient and encouraging. She did a fantastic job tutoring our son, he improved enormously across the board. Really impressive.

Thank you so much for your kind words. Your son was a pleasure to teach.

A great, knowledgeable, experienced tutor

5 stars

Sonia is a brilliant tutor. She has lots of experience, relates to the child and builds a relationship, and shapes the learning around what they are good at and their needs. She did lots of research, guided all of his preparation and kept going even when my son was tired or disillusioned. She is a wonderful teacher.

I really enjoyed working with your son. We had lots of fun in our lessons and he made so much progress. I wish him every success for the future.

Great tutor

5 stars

Sonia has been tutoring our son for about 5 months. He has come on leaps and bounds since Sonia started working with him and as parents, who are basically clueless about what he should or shouldn’t know, we’ve found having Sonia’s input really helpful. Couldn’t be happier.
