Who Am I and Who Do I Support

I’m a qualified teacher with 12 years of experience, including work with children who find mainstream classrooms overwhelming. I tutor primary-aged pupils who are anxious, neurodivergent or struggling with traditional approaches. Many are autistic, have ADHD or PDA, or carry trauma that makes learning feel unsafe.

I offer calm, 1:1 support that’s paced to the child — whether they’re in school, out of school, or somewhere in between. My focus is helping children rebuild trust, feel understood, and learn without fear.

What Makes My Tutoring Different

I work with children who’ve been misunderstood, pushed too hard, or left behind. My sessions are slow-paced, consistent and flexible to what each child needs that day. Parents choose me because I understand that emotional safety comes before learning — and because I don’t expect kids to “fit the mould”.

Why families choose me:

đŸ§© Neurodiversity-affirming – I don’t use tokenistic strategies or behaviour charts
đŸŒ± Emotionally safe – calm sessions, predictable routines, no shaming
📚 12 years of teaching experience – including SEND and SEMH settings
💬 Flexible communication – I’m happy to work with parents, schools and other professionals
đŸȘ¶ Relational – sessions are built on connection, trust and mutual respect
