My Summary
About Me
I provide private tutoring for Nursery, Reception and Key Stage 1 aged children. I have specialised in Early Years Education and have extensive experience in working with a variety of SEN children.
My Experience
I have lived in London, England since 1988, during which time I have enjoyed a very successful career in the education sector. I have been a primary school teacher for over 30 years and have held senior positions, including assistant head teacher. During my career I have been instrumental in leading my Schools to achieve an Ofsted Outstanding rating.
My passion for teaching is fundamentally driven by my desire to positively impact young children's lives, by empowering them through instilling confidence in their abilities in order for them to thrive and succeed.
I have many years of experience in teaching children with special needs as well as working with targeted children to help them to further improve their knowledge and understanding of different subjects. I have specialised in Early Years education and understand the importance of building a firm foundation to the child's learning. I am fully qualified to teach children to read and write using phonics as well as incorporating fun and engaging learning activities to ensure your child looks forward to our sessions.
Alongside my career, I have also created a loving family with my late husband, whereby we had two boys who are now adults and successfully leading their own lives. Alongside school, I also tutored my own children using the same approach I do with my current students. Both of my children excelled in their studies and progressed to further academic study in leading British Universities, Cambridge. Whatever your ambitions are for your child, I will ensure that they have all the resources and guidance to achieve their full potential.
Please feel free to contact me so that we can discuss the specific needs of your child. I very much look forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards,
Minna Grigorian

Ms Minna has been providing tuition for my daughter for over a year now. My initial ask was that Ms Minna challenge my daughter as I felt she was very unchallenged at school and needed the stretch. I have seen my daughter's love for learning grow, her inquisitiveness sharpen and its all thanks to Ms Minna, who is patient, softly spoken and adaptable depending on your child.
I highly recommend Ms Minna and can't wait to send my younger son for 1-2-1 sessions.

Miss Minna has been tutoring my 9 year old for over 3 years and my 5 year old for a year. She has built fantastic relationships with both children as well as us parents! Minna has a wonderful way with the boys and her experience shines through. She is patient, caring and motivating, all the characteristics one would want in a tutor. The 1-2-1 sessions have a had a huge impact on both boys, increasing their confidence in reading, writing and comprehension. I cannot recommend Miss Minna highly enough - we all think she is just fantastic!

My daughter has been studying with Miss Minna for more than a year, and we have seen significant improvements in her in just a few short months. She is a very considerate educator who carefully considers how she conveys the subject matter. She is very patient and constantly motivates and help my daughter with her learning, and her classes are very interesting and helpful. I'm overjoyed to have discovered her workshop and would heartily endorse her to anyone looking to take lessons.

My daughter has been going to Minna for the last 1year.
Me and my family noticed a big difference in her English and maths only within 2months of her going to Minna.
I would recommend any parent who is looking for a tutor.
Plus Minna does 1-2-1 which means all focus and attention is on the student.
Not like other places e.g. Kumon big Fish.

Minna has been tutoring my 7 year old semi verbal Autistic daughter for 2 years now and I have to say that she is absolutely amazing she understands my daughters needs and create learning opportunities to match her abilities. My daughter is speaking more and even reading now. She has opened up my daughter’s academic world. They both do lots of amazing things together. My daughter looks forward to seeing her and gets extremely excited when Minna walks through the door. We can’t thank her enough.

I first met Minna during the pandemic; when I decided that home schooling would have to be the only option for my daughters. She has done an excellent job and has taught my eldest one who is in year one really well. My daughter had speech delay and underwent surgery for glue ear. And Minna greatly supported her through this. My 5 year old can now write sentences independently, let alone read. And she brought out the artistic side of my daughter. Minna has such a loving and caring nature and my daughters adore her. I definitely recommend her to anyone who wants to bring out the best in their child and ensure they excel in their education.
