Personal Message
I am a highly-qualified, dynamic and consistently 'outstanding' rated teacher with 7 years' experience in the primary and secondary sectors and specialist knowledge of dyslexia and dyscalculia.
Which subject(s) do you teach?
I teach English and maths up to KS3, and also offer specialist literacy assessments and dyslexia and dyscalculia tuition up to KS4.
Tell me about your qualifications.
I have a degree from Durham University in mathematics, and Qualified Teacher Status. As well as this, I have a specialist dyslexia qualification that allows me to provide a detailled literacy assessment of any child (which can be communicated to schools), and if necessary to tailor and deliver the BDA-accredited Dyslexia Istitute Literacy Programme to help remedy dyslexic-type problems.
What kind of experience do you have?
I have 7 years of teaching experience in both primary and secondary schools, so my educational knowledge is not outdated, but neither am I inexperienced. My experience of child development, the National Curriculum and current educational best-practice means that I can identify your child's areas of difficulty and build a programme around them in order to accelerate success in maths and English. I firmly believe that teaching based in rigorous research but done through games and many short multi-sensory activities is the reason that my students last year made on average 18 months' progress in their reading age over 9 months.
How much do you charge?
I charge £40/hour for 1:1 tuition
Book 10 sessions in advance for a 10% discount.
Book 20 sessions in advance for a 15% discount.
Full literacy assessment available (with report) for £120 (approx 1.5 hours of assessment)
Where do you teach?
I prefer to teach at home as I then have full access to all my multi-sensory equipment. However, I am prepared to travel within Islington, Westminster, Camden and other areas of North London - please enquire.
When are you available?
Weekdays after 4pm. During school holidays I have availability during the day as well. Please enquire.
Which ages and levels do you teach?
I tutor children in KS1, KS2 and KS3.
Do you have an up-to-date CRB (Criminal Records Bureau) disclosure certificate?
I have an up-to-date CRB check.
Do you belong to any professional organisations?
I beloing to the General Teaching Council and the Dyslexia Institute

Dyscalculia:when you can't count on your counting

Dyscalculia is still the subject of some debate within the educational world. Most teachers have heard of it, but few would be able to describe its effects and fewer still would know how to begin to ameliorate them. In short, one definition of dyscalculia is that it is a significant difficulty in acquiring and using mathematical skills,...
