    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 completed GCSEs in MathsEnglishScienceHistoryICTArt and Design and Textiles.

    I completed an AS Level award in English Literature and A Levels in History, Psychology and Art and Design. I then achieved a 2:1 in BSc Applied Psychology at Liverpool John Moores University in 2014. In 2018, I successfully completed a PGCert from the University of Birmingham in Low Intensity Psychological Interventions, and in 2021 I qualified as a teacher of Art and Design.
    I am a creative-thinking and motivated individual looking for a new challenge to broaden my horizons. I have previously worked as a psychological talking therapist, and I am also a qualified secondary teacher with extensive experience in schools; which has led me to my current role as an SEN tutor for adolescents who are refusing school attendance. My role is to provide them with the emotional support and encouragement needed to return to school, as well as helping them to learn and revise all curriculum material needed to pass their exams. I relish the opportunity to build positive relationships with others, as this is what motivates me, and I love to see meaningful changes which lead to bright futures; as a result of the work that myself and others have put in. I believe that in order to overcome any challenge, the first step is to identify the barriers to change. This requires the development of trusting relationships with students, as well as their parents and key staff members at their enrolled schools. Once these barriers are identified, we are able to collaboratively come up with a tailored plan to integrate students back into school.

    Graduate
    Native In LanguagesAced my way!

    I have been tutoring for almost a decade now, different subjects and various ages. I taught students from as little as 4 and up to 58. I do believe that the way I teach a student and the technique I choose for them is not based on the age range but on the student themself. Every individual absorbs information in a different way regardless of their age and every individual also understands at a different pace. This has nothing to do with one being smarter than the other but this is how the human brain is, every brain is different and that is fine. We as teachers have to understand that brain and approach in the way that is tailored to it.

    Tutoring may be a job but it is a hobby as well, I adore helping people realise how smart they are and to enhance their knowledge. This is actually one of the main reasons why I chose Psychology and Counselling as my degree, communicating and helping people is something very important to me.

    FAQs

    Read some of our most frequently asked questions and answers

    What is Phonics?

    Phonics is a method used to teach children how to read and write by focusing on the sounds that make up words. It involves teaching the relationships between letters (graphemes) and the sounds they represent (phonemes). By learning phonics, children can decode and spell words more effectively, which is a fundamental skill in developing strong reading and writing abilities.

    How much do Phonics tutors cost per hour?

    The cost of a Phonics tutor can vary depending on their qualifications and experience. Generally, private tutors charge between £30.00 and £50.00 per hour, with online lessons often slightly cheaper than in-person lessons

    Can you take Phonics lessons online?

    Yes, you can take Phonics lessons online! All of our tutors offer online tutoring, most of them through our state-of-the-art online classroom which has been built by us to meet all your needs.

    How can I support my child when learning Phonics?

    To support your child when learning phonics, start by reading together regularly. Choose phonics-based books that emphasise letter-sound relationships. Additionally, engage in fun activities like playing word games, using flashcards, and sounding out words in everyday situations. Lastly, provide a positive and encouraging environment, praising your child's efforts and progress to boost their confidence in phonics learning.
