I am a fully qualified teacher (QTS, University of Roehampton) with over ten years’ experience in independent schools, most recently at The Hall Junior School, Belsize Park. I have extensive experience teaching in Early Years and Key Stage 1, including delivering targeted phonics and maths interventions to support strong foundational learning. I recently completed a Level 5 qualification in Specific Learning Difficulties (SpLD) at Fairley House School, which has deepened my understanding of supporting pupils with dyslexia and other additional needs. I now work as a 1:1 tutor, providing personalised support to help children build confidence and make meaningful progress. My teaching approach is calm, patient, and child-centred. I believe every child learns differently, so I tailor my lessons to suit each individual, creating a supportive and engaging environment where they feel safe to take risks and ask questions. I am a strong advocate of play-based learning and use a variety of interactive and practical activities to keep lessons enjoyable while reinforcing key skills. I focus on building strong foundations in reading, writing, and maths, while also encouraging independence and a positive attitude towards learning. I take pride in helping children grow in confidence and supporting them to reach their full potential.
