About me
I have been a primary school teacher and Deputy Head, in both maintained and independent sectors for 28 years. I am fully up to date with the National Curriculum and current teaching trends.
​
I use the most modern teaching methods, and assessments. I draw out the best in children of all ages and abilities, with kindness and enthusiasm.
​
I prepare children for Key Stage 1 and 2 SATS, 11+, entrance examination - as well as supporting those who need that 'extra boost' to help them improve their learning skills.
​
I also help children with a range of SEND including dyslexia and dyspraxia.
​
I support children from abroad, to work through the English National Curriculum. I help foreign pupils to develop and improve their spoken English.
