End of Term Moments ❤️
Ending the school term feeling very grateful.
The time and thought children, parents and colleagues put into these cards and messages at this time of year really means a lot.
Gestures like these, shared in relation to my school role, are a reminder of how supportive the school community is and why working with children is so rewarding.

🧮 Teaching Number Bonds to 20
Building number confidence starts with understanding how numbers fit together.
In this short video, we explore different ways to make 20 using Numicon and hands-on activities — helping children see number relationships, not just memorise them.
Simple, practical maths activities like these help children:
• make sense of numbers in a visual way
• build strong foundations for addition and subtraction
• grow confidence and enjoyment in maths

✨ Building Number Confidence at Home ✨
Many children find maths tricky because numbers can feel confusing. But when they can see and use numbers in everyday life, it starts to make sense.

This is the kind of approach I use in my tutoring to build confidence and make learning fun. If you’d like to chat about how I can support your child, just drop me a message.

Parents keep asking me: why is my child’s writing messy? ✏️
It’s actually really common in Reception and KS1. Children are still building fine motor skills, learning punctuation, and sometimes just rushing to get their ideas on paper.
The good news is, with the right practice, they can quickly build confidence and pride in their writing.
I’ve put together this quick guide 👇 showing common struggles, why they happen, and the simple steps that make a real difference.

✨ Every child deserves confidence in their learning ✨
👩🏫 Struggling with phonics at home? Here’s a glimpse of how I teach the ‘ee’ sound in a fun, confidence-building way.
✨ Phonics in action – the ‘ee’ sound! ✨
In this session, I was introducing and practising the ‘ee’ sound – helping the child to recognise it, blend it with other sounds, and use it in early reading.
My sessions are calm, structured and interactive, giving children the chance to practise while building confidence step by step.
👉 If your child could use extra support in phonics, reading, writing, maths, SEN or English as an Additional Language (EAL), I’d love to help.

✨ What the children say… ✨
Over the years I’ve been lucky to receive some wonderful notes and drawings from children I’ve supported in school. Their words mean the world 💛
📝 “Thank you for being my teacher.”
📝 “You’re the best assistant ever – you are so kind!”
📝 “Thank you for cheering me up when I am sad.”
📝 “I will miss you in Year 2.”
These messages remind me what matters most: kindness, encouragement and helping children build confidence in their learning. That’s the same approach I bring into my tutoring.
👉 If your child could use a little extra support or confidence in their learning, I’d love to help. I offer private tutoring for Reception, Year 1 and Year 2:
- Phonics & Early Reading
- Writing, Spelling & Grammar
- Maths (core skills & confidence)
- SEN support (autism, speech, learning needs)
- EAL (English as an Additional Language)
