John O
Energetic Primary School Reading Tutor focusing on Years 5 and 6.
I have always been passionate about teaching.This began with me helping and supporting my own children and then being asked by close friends to help their children. As a Primary School Teacher my goal is to inspire children to not just answer questions but to understand why the answer is the way it is. I aim to give the children the tools to become more resilient so that they donāt give up when things are difficult and there isnāt a teacher readily available.Whilst teaching, I look to get a smile on the faces of the children because I have found that if they are happy then they will have a pos...

Eleanor B
Great first 'getting to know' lesson. Ellie helped Monty warm to the idea of tutoring by tapping nicely into his interests (he said afterwards that he really liked her) . He is positive about having another session next week. It was good that they could discuss his current school book; I think this is going to help him.

Hannah B
Within 5 minutes of specking to Hannah, I knew she was going to be my sonās tutor. Sheās personable, passionate and knows her industry inside out. Weāve only had 2 lessons, but I can see the confidence and enjoyment on my sonās face as heās learning. My son said after his 2nd lesson, āHannah is so calm and Iām really enjoying tutoringā. We are actually so blessed to have found Hannah.

Nic H
Nic is a very experienced teacher who is able to adapt to different children, with an array of tools up her sleeve to keep the child engaged. After every lesson Nic is very good at telling me what they went through and what we should be focusing on. I think I am even learning myself on letter formation!
My daughter is a high functioning autistic person in reception, who needs to close some gaps in her phonics, numbers and handwriting. The leap from reception to year 1 can be difficult and Nic is helping me to get my daughter to a level where she will feel stable with the transition.
I was worried that a 1hr lesson would be too hard for my daughter and that she would not be engaged. My daughter is fully engaged and I am very impressed with what my daughter can achieve in her lesson.
