1:1 Tuition

I always tell my students that if you are determined to learn then no one can stop you, as anything is possible with a positive attitude and belief in yourself. As a tutor, I prepare and guide students and their families along every step of their learning journey. Please contact me in order to discuss the individual needs of your child and I will endeavour to arrange a time that is suitable to you. Read more about my approach, qualifications, services and fees below.

My Approach

Each child receives an Individual Education Plan which is used to guide them in their learning and all of my students have made excellent progress. Indeed, I find it greatly rewarding to watch my students grow in confidence and ability. I take a holistic approach to tutoring and understand that education is not just about teaching subjects in a mechanical fashion but that other factors may influence the performance of pupils, for example, anxiety or low self-esteem. Taking the latter in mind, I have turned around the most anxious and reluctant students, providing them with a love of learning and an ambition to succeed.

I have a strong commitment to fully developing the strengths and talents of each individual pupil I teach and adopt a caring and thoughtful approach. Most importantly, as a professional teacher with over twenty years of experience, my classes are easy to follow and best of all fun!

Home Education

The decision to home educate is often made for many reasons such as SEN or mental health needs, relocation or a need for targeted yet flexible education. As the needs of your child change, you adapt and learn new ways to support them without the battle of getting the school to understand and act accordingly. I know this as I home educate my own SEN child!

At Top SEN Tutor I provide 1:1 EOTAS (Education Other Than at School) support for maths, English, Spanish and French. I create personalised home education programmes that are highly effective and nurturing educational experiences that can transform a child’s feelings towards learning and life; as well as improving their academic results. Each student is given a personalised assessment, timetable and wellbeing plan and support is individually tailored to each child’s needs and passions. As a result, every child who is home educated with Top SEN Tutor enjoys a rich and therapeutic educational experience. I have experience of working with local councils and supporting parents with their EOTAS applications and obtaining funding for their child. Have a look at my reviews below.
