About Me

Hello!
I am a qualified primary school teacher from London, England. I have been a teacher for over 10 years, working mainly in mainstream classrooms as well as a supply teacher, tutor and nanny. During my teaching years, I have worked mainly with the younger children supporting them with the knowledge and understanding of early reading, writing and numeracy skills. I am an extremely, kind, patient and enthusiastic teacher who likes to get to know each pupil to ensure I am able to meet their individual needs. I have now left mainstream teaching to teach children and adults online and have since gained a level 5 TEFL certificate to support the teaching and learning of English as a foreign language. I use a variety of strategies such as questioning, slides, visual resources and actions to help to improve knowledge and build your confidence.

I am teacher who loves travelling, exploring the outdoors and meeting new people from around the world. I am an extremely outgoing and adventurous person and like to try new activities. A few years ago, I went travelling for three years! During this time, I gained my adventurer badge in scuba diving, went sky diving and bungee jumping and even climbed a mountain that was over 6,000m high. I was lucky enough to visit over 15 countries and there are many more I would like to visit. Due to this experience, I now enjoy teaching online as I can meet a variety of people and support everyone, regardless of location.

Education

Diploma in Childcare and Education 2008
Degree in Primary Education BA Hons 20011
Level 5 TEFL Certificate (168 hours)
TEFL Teaching Online and One to One Certificate (30 hours)

Experience / Qualifications

Since a young age, I have always had a passion for working, supporting and helping others around me. At the age of 16, I joined college and gained a Diploma in Childcare and Education. During this period, I discovered I wanted to become a primary school teacher and later, I attended Roehampton University and gained a degree in Primary Education in 2011. Since then, I have taught primarily in the Early Years, teaching phonics through programmes such as Jolly Phonics and Bug Club and teaching Year 1 children. I have also taught in Year 4 and whilst working as a supply teacher, I have taught in all year groups so I am confident with the teaching and learning of not only the Early Years Foundation Stage but also the National Curriculum requirements.

Alongside my teaching, I have also tutored many children and adults on a weekly basis, whether this be to help conversational skills in English, support the understanding of early phonics or preparation for primary standardised testing such as SATS, timetables and phonics assessments. During this time, I have planned, delivered and assessed activities to support each pupils' requirements to enable them to reach their goals and fulfil their potential.

I have also worked as a nanny for many families, supporting the children with home learning, school drop off and planning and delivering engaging and fulfilling activities.
In my classes, I will help you to improve your English skills, whether this be conversational, reading, writing, grammar, pronunciation, or early phonics. I use a variety of strategies such as questioning, slides, visual resources and actions to help to improve knowledge and build your confidence. I am able to plan, prepare and deliver lessons personalised to your learning, your goals and your next steps.

Master French fluently and confidently: personalized and effective classes
I am a fourth-year student studying French Studies and I can teach French to students of all ages. My native language is Spanish, but I have lived in France for a year, which has allowed me to acquire fluency and an advanced command of French. This knowledge enables me to teach the language in a didactic and effective way. My pedagogical approach is based on: 1. Personalization of learning: I adapt the pace and content of the classes according to the level and needs of the student. 2. Patience and understanding: I am very patient and strive to create a positive learning environment where students feel comfortable and motivated to learn. 3. Teaching approach: I use a variety of teaching resources and activities to make learning French interesting and engaging. 4. Comprehensive language teaching: my classes cover all the skills necessary to master French (oral and written comprehension, oral and written expression, and grammar). 5. Cultural experience: in addition to the language, I incorporate cultural aspects of France into the lessons to offer a more complete and enriching learning experience.

English communication; grammar; listening and speaking; spelling; English test preparation
My English lessons are built on the principles of communicative language teaching, focusing on real-life communication and interactive learning.

Additionally, I incorporate multimedia elements, such as videos, podcasts, and interactive games, to make learning both enjoyable and effective meaningful contexts Through a combination of structured lessons and spontaneous discussions, I will facilitate language acquisition, grammar comprehension, vocabulary expansion, and fluency development.

Mastery in maths, phonics and reading, writing and ESL help
My approach to teaching primary maths is rooted in the mastery framework, which emphasizes deep, long-term understanding rather than just surface-level memorization. This method is essential as it builds a solid foundation, allowing students to grasp concepts thoroughly and apply them confidently. I place significant importance on the use of manipulatives, as they offer hands-on experiences that make abstract ideas more concrete. By engaging students actively, manipulatives enhance both understanding and enjoyment, fostering a more meaningful and lasting connection with mathematical concepts. I use the Ruth Miskin phonics scheme in my teaching, which provides a structured, systematic approach to developing reading and writing skills. This method emphasizes the clear progression of sounds, blending, and decoding, helping children build confidence and fluency. By following this scheme, I ensure that students grasp phonics in a fun, engaging way, laying a strong foundation for their literacy development. With extensive experience across subjects like maths, phonics, writing, and teaching English as an additional language, I bring both expertise and a genuine passion for helping students succeed. My approachable nature ensures that students feel comfortable asking questions and seeking support, while my enthusiasm for teaching fosters a positive and engaging learning environment. I tailor my methods to each student's needs, making sure they build confidence and mastery in whichever subject they're tackling, and I'm committed to helping them achieve their full potential.

Early years education - Phonics, handwriting, Maths, reading and more
I spent 2 years working in Early years as a teaching assistant. During this time I taught children to read, write, add, subtract and much more! I also spent a large amount of this time tutoring children aged 5 and 6 in these areas. I can provide a safe and fun environment for your child to learn and grow. I know how quickly the school year goes and sometimes children aren’t given enough time to consolidate their learning. If there is something you know your child struggles with or you just want to ensure they are kept up to date during the summer holidays, I would love to help!
