Phonics Tutors: 1-1 Phonics Preparation

I am a first year BA Criminology Student with a passion for hopefully entering the legal profession post university. I was a straight A student at GCSE and at A level, I achieved ABC after self teaching my A levels due to being out of school for months because of surgery. For this reason, I have been inspired to start tutoring to support students like myself who are struggling in school or have missed school due to personal circumstances.
I believe that learning should be done in a fun, supportive and interactive environment. I have over 300 hours of tutoring experience in KS3 and GCSE level English, KS3 and GCSE Science and I have experience teaching the 13+ and 11+ curriculum also.

I have tutored over 30 students with various SEN and neurodivergent needs, I have made the learning process individual and accessible to them.

Hello! I’m excited to help young learners build confidence and thrive in their early education. I’m currently studying for my MSc in Speech and Language Therapy at Health Sciences University, and I have a strong background in educational development. I completed my undergraduate degree in Educational Studies, where I gained valuable knowledge in child development, learning strategies.

Additionally, I have practical experience as a teaching assistant for one year in Years 1, 2, and 3, where I supported students across a variety of subjects. This experience has given me a deep understanding of how children learn and how to tailor lessons to meet each student’s individual needs.

I specialise in Maths, English, and Phonics at Key Stage 1, and I’m passionate about making learning engaging and enjoyable. Whether it’s supporting a child with their reading, phonics, or understanding maths concepts, my aim is to create a positive, supportive, and fun learning environment that helps children reach their full potential.

With a combination of hands-on experience and academic knowledge, I offer personalised support that builds confidence and encourages a love of learning. If you’re looking for a friendly, experienced, and dedicated tutor, I’d love to work with your child!

I am a qualified teacher trained to work with learners all abilities and levels but have had 3 years experience with learners who are visually and/or hearing impaired, and learners with autism and other special needs. I am trained to deliver teaching for GCSE and AS/A level and post 16 learning. I am passionate about teaching and learning and always follow the lead of the learners I am introduced to and tailor my teaching approach to their needs and learning style. Teaching in a classroom environment has been part of my previous experience but I also worked closely with learners on a one to one basis which allows for a more focused and person centred approach to the process. I hope to continue to teach and learn more myself in the process of delivering support to students.

I started my journey to teaching without quite knowing that’s where I would end up. I have worked in many various job roles, from hospitality to insurance before deciding to pursue a passion I have for creativity and film making. I resumed studies to gain a degree in film and script writing. This was very exciting for me and allowed me to explore my creative side. Following on from this, I started work as a support assistant for individuals living with disabilities and mental health issues. I started to pursue a mental health nursing masters degree but COVID struck and this came to an abrupt end. Having the time to think more about my next steps, I started work as a classroom assistant working with students within a college environment. These learners had SEN as well as sensory impairments. As such, I received a qualification in BSL to communicate with hearing impaired learners and non verbal learners. Many of the students were diagnosed with ASD and this was a real learning curve and education for myself. From this, I realised the struggles that can be faced within the education system for learners with additional needs.

As I did well in my classroom assistant role, my skills were noted and I was offered the opportunity to step into a trainee teacher role. At this moment, I knew teaching was where I wanted to continue my career. I was then trained for education for all learners Post 16 at all levels and abilities. I have never looked back and now feel this was the best experience and opportunity I had been offered. I now continue to teach, moving away from classroom environments and working one to one with learners. This allows for a more bespoke and holistic approach to teaching and learning and I find this to be more stimulating,as you can really get to know an individual and what their learning style is and can fully invest them. When they achieve their aims and goals, I feel the same sense of pride and achievement, seeing them reach the pinnacle of their abilities. My main aim is to see my learners pursue the paths in life that they have always hoped to travel.

Having some variance in the qualifications that learners are pursuing, also brings variance to my role and allows me to continue to grow as an education practitioner as I adapt to the needs and levels I am working at. Working with visually impaired students on pre-braille and braille activities and then working with a learner who is seeking a qualification in personal and social development presents experiences that are poles apart and equally fulfilling. Delivering teaching for learners who are working towards their GCSE’s or A levels is a different experience and a good challenge. Having a distinct goal and end point to work towards allows for really focused work to be done. There is also an immediate result and a chance to see the fruits of the labours of the student and myself when they achieve the grades they desired.

I have specialist training for learners with visual and hearing impairment and autism spectrum disorder, but I want to continue to grow as a teacher and so now working with a more academically rigorous syllabus and range of materials is now very exciting to me and allows me to pursue working and building upon the communication tools I have helped to impart to my previous learners. English Language and Literature is an area I am most qualified to deliver based on my own achievements in these subjects from GCSE and A Level as well as being within my area of keen interest. I think this is key to being able to make that enthusiasm I have for the subject infectious to the learner. My main hope is to provide the students with a spark for learning that allows them to commit and enjoy the process on their way to realising their goals and dreams.

Hi I’m Hayley and I have been teaching for over 16 years. I specialise in special educational needs and disabilities.
I enjoy working with parents and young learners using the eHCP targets to create a bespoke learning experience to achieve targets.
I am approachable, friendly and can listen which helps those with anxiety.
I enjoy using a variety of tools to use in lessons, I try to include interests and hobbies to engage the learners and have experience encouraging reluctant writers to enjoy learning.
I have my own children who have been or are still going through school settings so I am able to have a parent perspective on the difficulties getting young learners in the right settings and the difficulties they can face.
I look forward to meeting you to work together with your child to make a learning plan.
