Experienced teaching, without the classroom pressure.
I’m a qualified Scottish primary school teacher with years of experience in both teaching and tutoring.
Children do their best learning when they feel comfortable enough to ask questions and have another try. My lessons are well prepared but flexible, so we can spend time where it will make the most difference.
Parents receive clear feedback on what we have covered, what is improving and what we will work on next.
