About Me

I'm a qualified primary school teacher, an experience tutor and tutor coordinator who enjoys impacting knowledge to your people.

My lessons are fun, engaging and adaptable to your child's learning style. I use a combination of interactive games, visuals representations, every life experiences, videos, worksheets and maths manipulatives (physical objects) to support children's learning.

My Method:
When teaching Maths, I aim to develop both the procedural and conceptual understanding for the focused area of the curriculum. Each lesson will begin with fun, creative and structured starters that focuses on recapping previous learning. The starters can also be used to address identified gaps in learning - especially those key foundational and fundamental skills that your child needs in order to move their learning forward. My approach to tackling complex maths problems is to put them in a real-life context; break down the problems to make it accessible and give the children different strategies they can use to arrive at an answer.

I believe reading and grammatical understanding are key ingredients that help a child become an able writer. Exposing children to different genres of texts and giving them the opportunity to discuss and analyse will further enhance a child's ability to write cohesively and with their audience in mind. This is why I incorporate all of these when teaching Writing. I also work with a child to generate vocabulary that can be used in their writing. In addition to the above, I use engaging stimuli videos and pictures to awaken children's creativity and imagination and practice sentences formation.

For my Reading lessons, we will share-read and discuss unfamiliar vocabulary to further facilitate children's understanding of the text. The chosen text (can be short or long ) will be tailored to your child's ability. Following our shared-read, depending on your child's ability, we will focus one or two (or more than two) curriculum objective/s at a time. Your child will be given ample opportunities to practice various questions (with support and independently) on the curriculum objective we're focusing on. This objective will be revisited in the next session through the marking of homework or lesson starter.

My Experience

With over 8 years of proven success in education (and 7 years of teaching in Year 6 children), I provide quality-first teaching and engaging lessons (across KS1 & KS2) that are tailored to your child's needs. Through my experience as tutor and tutor coordinator at Luwarke Tutoring, I've gained a wealth of experience tutoring and preparing children for the 11+ test, KS1/2 SATs and closing general learning gaps. I recognise that every child is unique - especially in the way they learn. This is why I aim to understand your child's needs and work alongside them meticulously to bring the best out of them and help them reach their full potential. If you're looking for a fun, creative, flexible teacher who is able to adapt and create a bespoke learning program for your child, contact me today to book your child's first session.

My Qualifications

I have BSc (Hons) in Forensic Science from the University of Kent.

I also have a PGCE (Postgraduate Certificate in Education) Primary Education from Canterbury Christ Church University.
