Mulit-award winning. Winner of the UK’s People’s Choice, Tuition Agency of the Year 2023 & 2024.
I started my career in Manchester and spent ten years working as an Assistant principal. During my time here I gained a huge amount of experience supporting learners with an array of additional needs. This included physical and medical needs including Down‘s Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, Moderate learning difficulties, ASD, PDA, ADHD, dyslexia, dyscalculia, anxiety, childhood trauma etc.
More recently I have been working with post-16 students supporting them to gain functional skills qualifications in English and Maths. I am also supporting students through their GCSE resit’s, this requires teaching skills that are ‘outside the box’ as many of my students lack confidence and self esteem. During my functional skills sessions I ensure that the students are well equipped to complete the relevant assessments, whilst making the sessions engaging and fun! I have experience working with students with PDA, I have provided strategies that ensure learning takes place in a non demanding way.
As an experienced educator with a strong background in tutoring, I have honed a unique skill set that combines effective teaching strategies, deep subject knowledge, and a genuine passion for helping students succeed. With several years of experience in both one-on-one tutoring and classroom instruction, I am adept at adapting my teaching style to meet the diverse needs of students and fostering a positive learning environment.
In my tutoring role, I have worked with students of various ages and skill levels, from primary school through to post 16 and have gained extensive experience in customising lessons to fit individual learning preferences. I use a combination of interactive activities, real-world examples, and clear explanations to ensure that complex concepts are easily understood. My approach focuses on building students’ confidence and helping them develop the skills they need to excel academically. I do this by breaking down tasks into manageable chunks and taking them one step at a time. I also break up sessions with games and interactive quizzes, this allows for non-confronting assessment techniques.
Above all, my goal is to inspire students to become lifelong learners, equipping them not only with academic knowledge but also with critical thinking skills that will serve them well beyond the classroom. My passion for teaching drives me to continuously seek professional development opportunities and improve my practice to better serve my students.
