Foundations First Primary Tuition

Foundations First Primary Tuition Specialism in teaching children with SEND. Does your child need extra support to further develop their skills in Reading, Writing and Maths?

Bespoke, private Maths tuition for children aged 5 to 11 years.Supporting children to develop self-confidence and master fundamental skills and knowledge through interactive learning activities. Is your child feeling anxious about their school work and needs some support to boost their confidence? Has your child got some additional learning needs and you feel that they would benefit from some one to one support? I have extensive experience of teaching and leadership across the primary age range having been a classroom teacher for 24 years and senior leader for 13 years. In the last six years I have specialised in teaching and supporting children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities, including children who attend a specialist setting. Throughout my career I have supported children in my care to thrive by recognising and planning to the unique learning strengths and needs of each child. I am warm and caring in my approach, gently encouraging children to be resilient and positive with their learning, which in turn has led to many children showing increased self-confidence in their abilities. Having a deep understanding of key skills in Reading, Writing and Mathematics; and learning to apply them competently and confidently during the primary years underpins all future learning. In partnership with parents and students, I am able to create personalised session plans that help children make good progress in basic English and /or Mathematics skills and develop depth of knowledge. I am able to support young learners with Special Educational Needs with a multi-sensory, structured approach that builds on emerging skills and celebrates every step of progress. I am able to plan and support children to work towards EHC long and short term outcomes. I am available for tutoring: Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings from 4 - 7pm, Monday and Friday from 9.30 - 2.30pm; and Saturday mornings between 9.30 am and midday. Please get in touch to discuss your specific requirements. Please get in contact for a free half an hour consultation. My prices per session are as follows:

45 minute session in Mathematics or English at my home : £36.00

Group Booster sessions ( up to three pupils): Key Stage 2 Maths £25 per pupil. Full DBS available on request.

The use of chalk markers and playdough on a black background created a lovely visual support in helping my student spell words containing the ‘th’ grapheme.

We have enjoyed playing a game of Number Ladders, adapted from a game originally by - Dice game collection. My student had to use problem solving skills to create and place numbers so that they were in ascending order. Today, we made it more challenging by adding a rule that whatever the value on the blue dice, it had to be the first digit.

A bit of an emotional morning as I said 'Goodbye' to a very special student 😢.

This little star was my first ever student and has been with me for five years. Now he is all grown up and starting secondary school. I will really miss him and his family who have shown me such support and kindness over the years for which I am immensely grateful.

Being chosen as a tutor and getting to know each child and their family is such a privilege and honour but does make for very emotional 'Goodbyes'!

Learning about the a-e split digraph with the help of a (wooden) cake! Lots of my students are learning their phonics through the Read Write Inc scheme and little props can help to bring the mnemonics to life.

We have enjoyed playing Times Table Jenga this week. Each brick has a times table fact on it, including the facts that seem most tricky to learn, helping students practise in a fun, more relaxed way.

We have explored recognising and finding a half.
My student knew the symbol for a half but was unsure what it meant so we spent some time exploring each part: the numerator, the fraction bar and denominator.
