What kind of experience do you have?
I have taught in a primary school for 11 years. I have taught every age range and every ability. I have recently taken on the role of Leader of Learning for Special Educational Needs. I am returning to work in September for only 3 days a week to fit in with my own family and therefore would like to take on private tutoring on the weekend.

Although I have stated that I charge £20 for an hour. I will also Tutor half hour session or 45 minute sessions for children who are unable to concentrate for extended periods of time. These sessions will be charged at a lesser rate. I can also tutor siblings together if they are close in age or have similar ability at a reduced rate. Please contact me to discuss any sessions that are different from the stated 1hr time frame.

Do you have an up-to-date CRB (Criminal Records Bureau) disclosure certificate?
I have an up-to-date CRB Enhanced disclosure certificate.
Do you have a personal message for students?
I try to make lessons fun and entertaining. I believe that children learn more when they are fully engaged and enjoy what they are doing. I have hundreds of fun games and exercises that will help you learn and build your confidence. An hour session will be broken into manageable chunks that include fast paced games, puzzles to solve, written exercises and revision of the lesson. My teaching is based on the tried and tested methods of learning that I have gained over the years of teaching in a primary school. All resources are provided and are highly visual and stimulating.
I am qualified and experienced to teach children with dyslexia and literacy difficulties and can ensure you that through hard work and lots of fun I can teach you the literacy skills that will make school life and lessons a lot easier.
I have a friendly and sensitive approach to teaching that will take into account your difficulties and my aim is to develop confidence and the ability to work independently so that you can take the skills I have taught you back into the classroom.
