About Me
I’m a recently retired full-time rower on the GB rowing team and I am soon to start my law degree in September. I have lots of experience working with young children and teenagers in childcare, mentoring and coaching positions. I also have experience assisting children through exam processes. I am very engaging, relaxed and personable. I can easily adapt to the needs of a student and can create a plan that will aid them in meeting their goals.

My approach to teaching primary maths is rooted in the mastery framework, which emphasizes deep, long-term understanding rather than just surface-level memorization. This method is essential as it builds a solid foundation, allowing students to grasp concepts thoroughly and apply them confidently. I place significant importance on the use of manipulatives, as they offer hands-on experiences that make abstract ideas more concrete. By engaging students actively, manipulatives enhance both understanding and enjoyment, fostering a more meaningful and lasting connection with mathematical concepts.

I use the Ruth Miskin phonics scheme in my teaching, which provides a structured, systematic approach to developing reading and writing skills. This method emphasizes the clear progression of sounds, blending, and decoding, helping children build confidence and fluency. By following this scheme, I ensure that students grasp phonics in a fun, engaging way, laying a strong foundation for their literacy development.

With extensive experience across subjects like maths, phonics, writing, and teaching English as an additional language, I bring both expertise and a genuine passion for helping students succeed. My approachable nature ensures that students feel comfortable asking questions and seeking support, while my enthusiasm for teaching fosters a positive and engaging learning environment. I tailor my methods to each student's needs, making sure they build confidence and mastery in whichever subject they're tackling, and I'm committed to helping them achieve their full potential.

I specialize in tutoring math, English , French and Science for school and the SAT exams. I have a very good teaching experience working with children and I got the chance to enhance my teaching skills during the pandemic when all educational institutions had to switch to online teaching. I successfully managed good discipline, good time management to assure completeness of syllabus and also fun loving class with good results at the end.

I am confident about my abilities to make students love what they are being taught and be happy to join a class. The willingness and eagerness of joining a class is a two way traffic: both student and tutor must feel that eagerness and love to learn and teach. My own love for teaching creates a positive atmosphere that inspire students. I enjoy creating lesson plans that help students understand the subject .
One of my strength as a teacher is my ability to establish strong relationships with my students. I believe that creating a supportive and inclusive classroom environment is key to fostering student engagement and success.

This class is for French beginners. I will start as simple as doing phonics and make you acquire the accent. In a globalized world, being able to speak a second or third language is something that offers people value for the rest of their lives. While there is a lot of evidence that says the younger a child learns, the better, children acquire pronunciation, accent, and grammar rules best. At the start , it will seem difficult or maybe impossible , but once you can onboard with me , after every lesson you will feel more confident.

Class for Math , English and Science is basically for those attending primary school and sitting for SAT exams. A good start of preparing ,understanding and knowing where the child needs more support is very crucial. I assign simple homework to better understand their weakness and strengths and hereafter recommend handbooks as per their needs and we work together for better results.
