Foundational Primary Education Tutor: Providing personalized support in Mathematics, English Language, and additional subjects

From 72 € /h

The foundation of a child’s education is a crucial step in their learning journey. In my tutoring sessions, it’s essential to assess each student’s current level to identify where they need the most support and determine the best starting point for their educational development.

I plan my lessons around the specific subjects where the student requires assistance, ensuring that each session is tailored to meet their individual needs and help them progress confidently.

About Me

I’m a dedicated and patient tutor who believes every child has the ability to succeed when given the right support. My teaching style is warm, structured, and adaptable — I meet students where they are and help them grow at their own pace.

I specialize in building strong foundations in Mathematics and English, while also providing support in other subjects when needed. Each lesson is tailored to the individual, focusing on their strengths, addressing areas that need improvement, and building confidence along the way.

I enjoy working with curious minds of all levels — whether a student is struggling to keep up or eager to move ahead. My goal is to make learning engaging, enjoyable, and meaningful, helping students develop not only academic skills but also a lifelong love of learning.

Hello parents! My name is Sandra. I am a native English speaker from New York State. I have a USA teaching license and a Bachelor's Degree in Childhood Inclusive Education (Grades K-6 and Students with Disabilities) from the State University of New York at Fredonia. My experiences include teaching at primary international schools in Belgrade, Serbia for 2 years and 3 years at international schools in The Hague, Netherlands. I have worked at two IB primary schools. Alongside teaching at international schools, I have 8 years of experience teaching English. I also have experience teaching grade 1 and 3 in elementary schools in New York State. I have taught children from 2-17 years old and adults. My students range in levels from beginners who are new to learning English, to fluent English speakers that need support or would like to further excel or maintain their fluency. Based on my experiences, I have learned to adjust my teaching style based on different students' needs, cultures, socioeconomic backgrounds, and learning abilities.

Lessons are provided to children and teenagers. Lessons are customized to the learning needs of your child. Whether that be learning English for the first time or practicing improvement of speaking, reading, comprehension, pronunciation, listening, writing, grammar, etc. Lessons can be aimed towards learning a topic such as food, animals, sports, emotions, and more.

For children who are fluent English speakers, tutoring can be given to further excel in particular areas. Subjects that interest the student such as science, history or world topics can be incorporated into the lesson to broaden their knowledge. Support can also be provided in learning organizational skills, research, and mini projects for older children. I am available to help with studying, homework, or school projects. For online learning, I use a variety of platforms, websites, educational games, and e-books to reach the learning goals of my students. Additional homework can be provided if requested.

Depending on the students age, lesson duration is adjusted. If you are looking for lessons for siblings, please reach out to me to discuss the best schedule for your children. My aim is to create a positive and enjoyable learning environment for all my students.

I hope you can join my English lessons! Please reach out to me if you have any questions. I can provide my resume or reference letters if requested. Looking forward to hearing from you.

-- Tutor For High School / IB and University Students --

I am a Maths and Physics Tutor with over 8 years of experience tutoring teenagers, students and young adults. After having received a bachelor in Aerospace Engineering and Philosophy & Mathematics, I am now doing research at the University of Cambridge in the field of AI. Because of this, I am only able to give online classes.

My teaching is based on a principles of compassion, understanding and personalisation. I believe that every student is different and that for every student a tailor-made approach is required to create the perfect lesson. After all, each of us retains information in a different way. For some, visual learning is crucial, while for others simply talking through the problem can be enough. That is why I use my five years of experience in tutoring to gauge what the student exactly needs and how the student can fully understand the problem. Not only does the student become better at the subject they're being tutored, but they also become a better problem solver in general. A skill which they can apply throughout their entire life.

Looking for extra help with English at school? You've come to the right place. I'm happy to help you with all your questions and guide you in practicing the subjects you find difficult. Are you doing really well with speaking, but do you feel like writing is a bit less successful? Then we'll work together on fun assignments to improve your writing skills. So whether you find everything about the subject a bit difficult, or certain subjects such as writing, listening or speaking skills: I'm happy to help you find the way that suits you best to make progress in this. I adapt my lessons to the level and learning style of each student, so that you can achieve your goal as well as possible.

If you have specific questions about your schoolwork or if you have trouble with English at school, it is best to use the material you receive at school in the tutoring as a guideline. I can then supplement this with more assignments and material that suits your level.

I myself went to a bilingual high school and studied English at International Baccalaureate (IB) level. So if you need help practicing for a Cambridge or IB exam, that is also possible!

Please feel free to contact me if you are interested or have any questions.
