Hi! I'm Laura, a qualified Primary school teacher living in central Colchester. I have experience of teaching across the Primary age range (ages 4-11) in a range of different schools and have recent experience of working in a Special Needs school (ages 5-16).

I love teaching and supporting children to become confident in who they are. I aim to ensure that every child feels seen and heard - that’s what I needed at school and I strive to be that person for others.
