Qualified primary teacher; specialism & experience in EY/KS1 - Academic tutoring tutor with Katie

Katie has been a friend for many years and she's always loved working with children in various capacities - she taught in a primary school for several years, assisted in a kindergarten during her time as a student and has always done a lot of nannying and babysitting. She loves spending time with her nephews and friends' children.
Katie is great at engaging children in games or conversations or nature walks which aid learning at the same time as having fun. She has hugely helped me with ideas to support my children and given me the insight to help them with their phonics and reading. When my son was struggling in reception as a summer born child she helped him with the phonics signs and taught me so I could help him too. I believe she can provide invaluable learning support for children/parents.

I have known Katie for many years and she has the ability to build a connection with young children with ease. I have three young children of my own and she has spend many hours with them, helping them and shows great patience and kindness when when working with them on reading, drawing and other activities. As Katie moves to 1:1 tutoring I have no hesitancy in recommending her and know that any child who works with her will benefit from her warm and nurturing style of teaching.
