About Me
Hi, I’m Joe. I started ChildFirst Education a few years ago after nearly 10 years of experience in education. After my PGCE in 2008 I worked in an inner London Primary School for three years before leaving. What concerned me most was the levels of stress on children, families and staff.

I re-trained as a Play-Therapist and started working with children and families more holistically in their homes as a home-school tutor, after-school tutor and/or mentor for a variety of reasons.

I have home-schooled a children aged between 8-14 and tutored children/worked with families across London/Kent focussing on school entrance exams (Alleyns, Putney High, Dulwich College, Colfe’s), 13+, 11+, 7+, confidence, self-esteem and a range of other issues.

I have worked with children and families from all over the world with autism, down syndrome, dyslexia, ADD, auditory processing, emotional/behavioral difficulties, epilepsy and selective mutism.

I have been a teacher and senior leader (DHT) in London schools for a number of years and have always loved it; a fact which has motivated me to continually find ways for all children to learn successfully and joyfully at the highest levels possible. I believe that, with precise, multi-sensory, teaching and learner-centred learning, all children will achieve their best. There is always an atmosphere of discovery and motivation to achieve in my lessons and I tailor all lessons to suit individual interests and abilities. I have also had great success working with children at Greater Depth to become outstanding writers. My areas of tutoring expertise are in English with children from Y2 to Y6. I am also an experienced SENDCo - my work with SEND children\'s academic and personal achievement has consistently been deemed outstanding by OFSTED. Writing applications for EHC plans is also an area I have continued success with, currently working as a consultant on individual cases with parents and school leaders.

On the first week, we will be starting with Non-Verbal Reasoning and in the second lesson, we will do a recap. We will be doing that series for at least 5 weeks, and we will do a recap exam of all the Non-Verbal learnt to see how much you have learnt. We will do the same for Maths, English and Verbal Reasoning.
