I’ve been using some of my extra time over the summer break to update my Child Protection & Safeguarding training- something which is incredibly important in my role as a tutor.

Safeguarding is at the heart of creating a safe, supportive environment where every child and young person can learn, grow and feel valued. It’s not simply a box to tick; it’s an ongoing responsibility and one I take very seriously.

As a tutor, I want parents and students to know that their safety and wellbeing are always a priority. Keeping my knowledge and training up to date means I can continue to recognise concerns, understand my responsibilities and respond appropriately when needed.

Because helping children to thrive means looking after the whole child, not just their academic progress. 💛

School's out for the summer! ☀️

Today I taught my final session of the academic year, and what an incredible year it has been.

As I close the door on another school year, it's the perfect opportunity to reflect on everything that has been achieved and to feel incredibly grateful for the journey my business has taken.

This academic year, I have had the privilege of working with 52 wonderful children through bespoke 1:1 tuition, both online and in person. From daytime home education to after-school tuition, every session has been tailored to help each child grow in confidence and reach their individual goals.

Some of these amazing young people have been learning with me for several years, while others I have supported for shorter periods as they prepared for assessments, entrance exams or GCSEs before moving on to their next exciting chapter. Every single one of them has been an absolute pleasure to teach.

I genuinely feel so lucky to spend my days doing a job I love. Watching children develop confidence, resilience and a love of learning is the greatest reward, and I couldn't do it without the trust and support of their wonderful families.

Thank you to every family who has chosen to work with me this year. Your support means more than you know. I am incredibly grateful that you have kept me fully booked throughout the academic year and already well into the next one.

Next week I'll be switching to my summer teaching timetable, with morning sessions only. These have proved more popular than ever this year and are already fully booked!

To all of my fantastic students: I hope you have a wonderful, well-deserved summer break. Whether I'll be seeing you over the summer or welcoming you back in September, I can't wait to continue celebrating your successes.

Thank you for another unforgettable year. 💛

⚽🌍 My teaching room has had a football makeover! 🌍⚽

With the excitement of the World Cup in the air, I’m bringing a football theme into our learning sessions! 🎉

We’ll be exploring different countries, discovering their flags, cultures, and learning fascinating fun facts.

It’s a brilliant opportunity for children to broaden their knowledge, celebrate diversity, and develop their skills in a fun and engaging way! ⚽📚🌎

Amazing work by this superstar student! 🌟

We sorted vocabulary into the correct word classes, explored the meanings of unfamiliar words, and then used them to create descriptive sentences. We even challenged ourselves to incorporate figurative language techniques wherever possible.

The outcome of her work was absolutely fabulous, and seeing how proud she was of her achievements made the session even more rewarding. Well done! 👏🏻📚✨

I’m so proud of this Year 9 student! 👏🏻 He has been working incredibly hard to build his confidence in writing. At the start, even putting pen to paper felt really challenging, but through perseverance and determination, he has grown in confidence and is making a fantastic effort to apply the techniques we’ve been working on.

This is just a snapshot of his writing, and it’s wonderful to see the progress he is making. His hard work and positive attitude are really paying off, and I can’t wait to see how much further he develops. Well done! 🌟

What a beautiful surprise I had last night. One of the lovely families I work with presented me with this gorgeous bouquet to let me know ‘how much they appreciate me’. To have something like this on the first week of a new term was so special. 🩷

I have to admit, I felt quite emotional! It was such a thoughtful gesture and means so much to know that the support I give to the children and families I work with is valued.

Moments like these remind me why I love what I do. 💐🩷

She worked hard on forming tricky numbers correctly, paying attention to starting points and direction with the help of a few of her little friends! ✏️👏🏻🦆

A treat this morning before this afternoon’s lessons- brunch at Temple in Bude. I would highly recommend it to you all if you’re in the area.
Delicious food, really friendly service, and very reasonably priced too. Will definitely be going back… probably next weekend! 😄

Creative writing in KS3. 🎯

Supporting a writer through his interest in darts made a real difference. Using something familiar helped him find his voice, build confidence, and get his ideas onto the page.

A great reminder of how powerful it is to build on students’ interests to unlock their writing.

A really enjoyable Year 7 maths session this week! 📊

We focused on costings and profit — and it couldn’t have been more relevant, as this student’s family farms cows and sheep. It was great to see him so engaged, working through real-life calculations that actually connect to his day-to-day life.

A practical and useful exercise that will definitely come in handy for the future! 🐄🐑
