My background

I am an enthusiastic, caring and friendly experienced teacher, tutor and mental health mentor offering online 1:1 tuition from anywhere, as well as face-to-face 1:1 tuition to learners from Year 5 through to adult learners in the Poole area.

I hold a PGCE teaching qualification, as well as psychology and tourism qualifications, and I have over six years of experience supporting students with academic skills, confidence and personal development. I have worked with learners of different ages, abilities and learning needs, including students with complex needs, gifted and talented learners, and students who may need extra encouragement to believe in their capabilities and strengths.

My teaching is student-centred, supportive and tailored to each learner’s individual needs, interests and goals. I support students with subjects such as Psychology, Business Studies and Academic Writing at GCSE, A-Level and university level, as well as helping learners develop study skills, essay structure, assignment planning and confidence.

I am passionate about creating a positive and encouraging learning environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes and celebrating their progress. I believe students perform best when they feel happy, supported, capable and aware of their strengths. My aim is to help each learner recognise both their areas for improvement and their unique qualities, while building confidence, independence and lifelong learning skills.

I offer flexible availability during the daytime, evenings and school holidays, for both short-term and long-term support. Lessons are available face-to-face in the Poole area and online from anywhere. Please contact me for enquiries and bookings. I look forward to working with you soon.

Experience

I am an experienced teacher, tutor and mental health mentor with a PGCE teaching qualification and over six years of experience supporting learners with academic skills, confidence and personal development. Over the years, I have worked with students of different ages, abilities and learning needs, including learners who require extra encouragement, students with complex needs, gifted and talented learners, and older students working towards GCSE, A-Level and university-level study. My background in psychology, education and academic support helps me understand not only what students need to learn, but also how they feel during the learning process.

Through my tutoring experience, I have supported students in building confidence, improving their understanding and making meaningful progress in their studies. Many students and parents have shared positive feedback about my patient, flexible and encouraging teaching style, as well as my ability to explain difficult topics clearly and break tasks down into manageable steps. I have helped learners prepare for exams, develop stronger study skills, improve essay structure, understand academic expectations and feel more confident in their own ability. Whether I am supporting phonics, 11+ preparation, English and Maths, GCSE, A-Level, university assignments, academic writing, dyslexia support, CVs or personal statements, my aim is always to help learners feel supported, capable and ready to succeed.
