spark a love of learning from an early age.However, I recognize that every child is unique. Some learn faster than others; some excel at speaking, while others understand perfectly but lack the confidence to speak up.
My lessons are entirely personalized and adapted to suit the specific needs and interests of your child. As an experienced British primary school teacher, I combine the active teaching approaches found in top UK classrooms with specialized strategies designed for children learning English as a 2nd, 3rd, or even 4th language.
“No significant learning occurs without a significant relationship.”
I use these insights to build lessons around your child’s specific developmental milestones. Every session seamlessly integrates the core elements of communication: speaking, listening, reading, and writing. Stories, songs, crafts, puzzles, games, and role-play ensure your child stays completely engaged, on task, and actively looking forward to their next lesson!
Your child will benefit from my patience, empathy, and positive reinforcement, paired with clear, high expectations. I keep parents fully aligned with their child’s progress through regular verbal updates and written developmental records.
Contact me today to discuss how I can support your child’s academic journey and ensure they are completely confident and prepared for their end-of-Key-Stage SPaG Tests!
Did you know that most teachers of English are not actually trained in how to teach phonics?
With over 25 years of experience teaching children how to read, I bring a wealth of specialised knowledge to help your child master literacy in a relaxed, tears-free setting.
Just like the best British schools, I use a Synthetic Phonics approach supplemented with music, storytelling, and games. Your child will learn to read naturally without even realising they are working!
I provide explicit teaching which can help your child master:
Synthetic phonics https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synthetic_phonics
My lessons are guided by the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) and by the British National Curriculum Programmes of Study in English.
If your child is enrolled in a British curriculum school, they’ll be taught SPaG: spelling, punctuation, and grammar.
Simply contact me for further information about how I can support your child and make sure they’ll be ready for their end of Key Stage SPaG Tests.
