I offer tutoring to primary aged pupils to help support their learning and build their confidence. I work with pupils on a one-to-one basis, supporting them to develop their knowledge and skills in Maths and English and in their learning more generally. My approach is child-centred and aims to positively support pupils to maximise their potential. I have thirteen years experience working in primar
y education as a class teacher and senior manager in both mainstream and alternative provision settings. As a year 5/6 teacher I have had several years experience of supporting pupils through the 11+ examination. I have worked across all primary age ranges from year 1 up to year 6 and have considerable experience in meeting the needs of a diverse range of pupils, including those with social, emotional and behavioural challenges. I am also a father of two school-aged children and fully understand parents' desire for their children to be confident and effective learners. My role as your child's tutor is to identify, through discussion with you and your child, where support is needed and how that support can be most effectively adapted to suit the needs of your child and build their confidence. One-to-one sessions give your child the opportunity to have focused support that can improve their skills and understanding in a given subject and develop their study skills more generally. I believe strongly that children need to feel confident and positive about their learning and understand that facing challenges is part of the learning process. As well as supporting your child academically I can also help support their confidence and well-being. I have a range of qualifications that have developed my understanding in this area including a postgraduate certificate in psychology, a certificate in stress management and a diploma in hypnotherapy and psychotherapy. I am also a qualified NLP (neurolinguistic programming) practitioner. I offer sessions in stress management and resilience coaching that can help build self-esteem, self-awareness and self-confidence. These sessions support your child in developing a 'toolkit' of skills that they can use to help maintain a positive sense of well-being. Please feel free to contact me by phone or email for a discussion of how I may be able to help and for any further information.
