Primary Tutoring - Maths, Reading Creative Writing, Entrance Exam Preparation.

I am a fully qualified primary school teacher based in Falkirk with over 15 years of experience particularly in the upper primary level. If your child needs additional input in English or Maths to help them reinforce their classroom learning or if they are looking to extend themselves to work at Third Level in preparation for High School or Entrance Exams, then I am here to help.

After our initial ‘get to know you’ session, I will build a program of learning that will support your child in all identified areas, helping them to feel more confident with concepts or skills they have found tricky to master as well as challenge them to reach their full potential moving towards higher level learning.

My goal is to create supportive and engaging session where students feel motivated to explore, make mistakes in a safe environment and ultimately, experience success, helping to boost their confidence in any classroom or examination setting.

Mathematics is often seen as a problem area for many students and their ‘tricky’ subject. With every student that identifies this as an area for development, my focus is on building a strong foundation in maths reinforcing key concepts, using key problem-solving strategies as well as developing critical thinking skills. Through the use of real-world, tangible examples, I will help students develop a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts and how they can be applied in their own lives. This work will be followed up with targeted areas for further practice, consolidation and/or additional challenge.

During my writing sessions, I will guide students in developing their practical writing skills, i.e. grammar, sentence structure, punctuation, and organisation of points/plot. Whilst encouraging creativity throughout, I will ensure there are multiple opportunities for students to express themselves through various writing genres. We will also work on editing and reviewing with feedback sessions built in to help consolidate the techniques introduced.

I strongly believe that reading is the key to unlocking a whole world of knowledge and imagination. In my reading sessions, I will focus on developing essential skills such as phonics, fluency, comprehension, and vocab. Through a variety of activities, including reading aloud, guided reading, discussion and analysis, I will help students improve their reading abilities, expand their literary horizons, and hopefully, foster a lifelong love for books.

I look forward to working with you.

About Me

I am a fully qualified Primary school teacher and have over 15 years of experience in the state and private education sector, specialising in the upper Primary stage. I have also privately tutored for the past 10 years and have successfully worked with over 100 students with ages ranging from 7-17.

I love working with students on a 1:1 basis, getting to heart of the issue that needs to be tackled and with the approach that works for them, seeing really positive results. I have worked as Upper Years specialist in the state sector in Scotland for the past 10 years, but previously I worked at the High School of Glasgow Primary School as a Class Teacher and Drama Specialist.

As well as working in specific areas of need in Maths and English, I have successfully worked with a number of students sitting 11+ / entrance examinations, prepping them with effective exam techniques and study methods. I have helped over 25 students successfully gain entry into Glasgow Academy, Fettes College, Dollar Academy, Eton College and Harrow.

As well as my work in the Primary Sector, I am a Politics and English Lit graduate from the University of Durham, as well as a Drama specialist, so I am available to work with any Secondary School student in those areas up to and including Higher Level.

I can’t wait to meet with you and your child and start our learning journey.

Preparing for, and Improving, College Composition and Reading
Despite advances in AI and other technologies, the core practice of excelling in college remains reading comprehension and essay writing. While these tools can act as a band-aid, they do not help students with foundational learning skills overall. With five years of experience in teaching college composition, I am aware of the gaps between high school and college literacy with which many students enter. My course will focus on filling such gaps to improve prospective and current students' overall reading and writing skills to aid in textbook comprehension and essay writing for any class they may attend. In attending my course, you will practice: - 1:1 help with essay edits and writing - Reading and critical engagement with excerpts from typical college material - Short writing drills to improve overall writing towards a college level - Line editing and peer review
