My goal is to keep children engaged through the lesson and ignite a desire to learn and discover new things. At this time, with endless workbooks being sent home by schools, it is SO important to give our children a chance to be creative and explore their subjects in a non-workbook kind of way. I specialise in creating personalised learning plans for my students. I will discuss with parents and child their interests and tailor classes to suit these. Lessons include interactive quizzes, games and challenges to keep your child's brain focused and problem solving. I love to get to know my students through THEIR interests, be it a certain hobby - art, cooking, music - or even video games - we can turn anything into an opportunity to further learning, you just have to know where to be creative. I am trained in Thrive, a UK-wide program offering emotional resilience support for children of all ages and can help develop confidence in expressing emotions, all as part of our learning experience. If you like, I can assign homework and will always provide progress reports to parents and children. My experience involves 7 years working with children in various schools from ages 5-16 years old. I have been a teacher, head of key stage, safeguarding officer, 1:1 support and teaching assistant. I have given support and tailored schemes of work to support for disengaged children as well as those with SEN. I am adaptable and flexible with working hours and commit to being fully dedicated to your child's learning. I offer 2 - 10 hours per week which will be split over a few days, or for shorter sessions they can be all in one go. Whatever works for you and your family.
