I am an experienced Primary teacher and tutor, specialising in KS1, KS2, KS3, and 11+ English and Maths, with extensive expertise in supporting students with Special Educational Needs (SEN). Throughout my teaching career, I have worked both in the UK and internationally. Alongside my classroom teaching experience, I have successfully supported students in 11+ preparation, helping them develop the English and Maths skills required for competitive entrance examinations. My SEN training and practical experience have enabled me to work effectively with a wide range of learners, adapting my teaching approach to suit each student's individual needs and learning style.
