I am a fully qualified primary school teacher with QTS. I am very experienced with a wealth of knowledge behind me. I hold a bachelor’s degree in English and Post graduate teaching qualification. I also have modules towards an M.Ed. I have coached and mentored Student teachers and new teachers to the profession. I have taught students at all ages from 5-12 in mainstream schools for over 20 years and have tutored KS1, KS2, KS3 and extensively with some to GCSE. Supporting students reach their potential is something I find thoroughly rewarding. I’m able to teach all core and foundation subjects in KS1 and KS2. My particular areas of strength are in English, Reading, Writing, Maths, Geography, Phonics and History.

I am trained in Read Write Inc., the UK phonics programme widely used in schools and have experience teaching Gifted and talented children and well as those with SEN as well as students who have English as a second language. I have experience working with children who have learning disabilities, autism, ADHD and other barriers to learning.  I also have taught and tutored those who just need that little extra support 1 to 1 in order to grow in confidence, achieve and excel.

I was born and raised in Yorkshire where I currently reside, yet I have supported students all over the UK and internationally through online tutoring.  Some of my work has included supporting students achieve grades required to attend certain schools both nationally and internationally.   I tailor resources to each student’s needs.  My teaching style is a supportive one where students are motivated to attempt learning tasks and become confident enough  to tackle challenging ones.   I strive to inspire in children a growth mindset where they aim to be the best that they can be as this will help them in the long term.  I enjoy forming positive learning relationships with students and providing them with what they need in order to succeed.

I speak three South Asian languages and have supported adult learners with their conversational and functional English.

I have a caring, supportive personality and am happy to be of help in any way that you need.
