What is tutoring like with me?

For me, tutoring is not just about academic achievement and attainment. It is a way of working holistically to support developmental, emotional, intellectual and creative growth. My sessions can be held 1:1 or in small groups by arrangement.

I have worked in a variety of educational settings since 2002. I attained Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) in 2013 and an MEd in 2021. I’ve taught children across both the state and private education sectors and have held leadership roles within the staff.

I left mainstream education in 2021 in order to work more closely with children who struggle inside the system. My specialism is with young people who have SEN requirements (whether formally diagnosed or not) including ASD, ADHD, dyslexia and dyspraxia and those who are homeschooled, unschooled or finding the school environment challenging.

I have a passion for ensuring that mental and emotional well-being falls at the heart of people's ability to learn; I firmly believe that our development and sense of self grows from that foundation. I work with warmth and compassion to help create a supportive and nurturing environment. A story-teller at heart, I am articulate, creative and playful and encourage these skills in those I work with.
