Little Smiles, Big Success Tutoring

Hi everyone 😊

I’m a local primary tutor offering face-to-face tuition for children in Years 1–6, supporting confidence in reading, writing and maths. A big part of my work is helping children feel calmer and more positive about learning again.

I’ve got one or two after-school face-to-face slots becoming available over the next couple of weeks, so I thought I’d share in case anyone’s child is feeling a bit stuck or anxious with school work at the moment.

I also have 5⭐ parent reviews on my website if you’d like to get a feel for how I work:
