With 20 years of experience in secondary education across the UK and the Netherlands, I am passionate about helping students succeed in their academic pursuits and personal growth. My decision to establish my own tutoring service was driven by a desire to provide comprehensive support that not only nurtures academic achievement but also fosters self-confidence and emotional well-being, recognising that these components are crucial for development. I believe that through tailored 1-to-1 tuition, each student has the unique opportunity to unlock their full potential, as personalised attention allows for an in-depth understanding of individual learning styles and preferences. And most importantly, start to enjoy learning.
As a bilingual Assistant Head Teacher and SEND Teacher, I have a wealth of experience working with children of diverse abilities and needs, which has equipped me with invaluable insights into effective teaching strategies. Whether your child is gifted and requires advanced challenges that stimulate their intellect, or is in need of reassurance and support, particularly if dealing with anxiety or trauma, I offer a personalised approach to meet their unique learning requirements. I am committed to creating a safe and nurturing environment where students feel comfortable to express their thoughts and emotions, thereby enhancing their learning experience.
I also have extensive experience working with students who have Educational Health Care Plans (EHCP), including those with persistent literacy and numeracy difficulties. Every student I tutor receives a customized lesson plan designed to help them achieve their best, regardless of their starting point, as I understand that progress looks different for everyone. My adaptive techniques allow me to track improvement and adjust methods to ensure that we are always moving forward in a productive manner.
My qualifications include:
– SPH Psychology (University of Applied Science, Utrecht)
– Master’s Degree in Special Educational Needs (DOC STAP, Doetinchem)
– Specialized training in working with anxiety (RET)
– First Aid Certification (2024)
– DBS Certificate (2024)
