Meet Some of our Primary Tutors

I am currently a Year 6 teacher, having taught/tutored from Year 1 through to Year 6. I have been teaching in schools for nine years and tutoring children across a range of age groups and subjects for over 13 years. I have also successfully supported students with their 11+ exam for local grammar/independent schools. I am  both Head of Key Stage 2 and Head of English in a large Nottinghamshire primary school. I also have a Master's Degree in Educational Leadership and Management. 

I absolutely love what I do as I feel that it makes a real difference to children's lives and futures. I love seeing children grow in confidence and believe in themselves. I like to build a positive relationship with each child so that they enjoy their sessions and feel comfortable. I plan each session to tailor it to every child's needs with the aim that they will reach their full potential and gain confidence.

Aside from teaching, I spend my free time with my young family. I have house bunnies who keep me on my toes as well as five wonderful Romanian and Spanish rescue dogs. 

I am the Assistant Head and also the Head of English in a large primary school. I have a wealth of experience across Key Stage 2 and as a current Y6 teacher, I specialise in Key Stage 2 SATs. Knowing what is needed to be a success by the end of Year 6 is invaluable and transferring this knowledge is something I am passionate about. 

Working as a teacher is something I love doing. Seeing and helping children to progress academically and as young people is a joy everyday. 

I am a keen sports person that enjoys keeping active! I also enjoy spending time with my Yorkshire terrier, Boo (I didn't name him before you ask!).

I am a Primary School Teacher with 8 years teaching experience and I currently teach in Year Five.  I have had a total of 7 years teaching experience across Years 3 and 4; therefore, my expertise lies across Key Stage Two. However, I am happy to work with children in Key Stage One, as I have a secure understanding of the Key Stage One curriculum.   

I have experience working with children who have English as an additional language, Special Educational Needs and challenging behaviours.  My teaching experience includes 4 years teaching in Peterborough where many of the children I taught had English as an additional language and I have been teaching in Nottingham for the past 4 years.    

Teaching has always been my passion; I strive to ensure children have a real love for their learning and I am able to differentiate appropriately to suit the needs of the children I teach. 

In my spare time, I enjoy exploring new places, going for walks, cooking, listening to music and spending time with friends.

I have been teaching for 6 years now. I love creative teaching such as active science experiments, design and technology projects and teaching new skills in art and design. Fluency in maths and competence in English is equally important and finding ways in which to make this fun and accessible for children is crucial for me to ensuring they always love learning.

I am qualified in two  professions that have given me huge career satisfaction. Initially a registered nurse and now a primary school teacher, both vocations have allowed me to share in and make significant, positive differences to the life stories of both children and adults. Personal provision and dedicated support  for learners to become future ready and to achieve sustainable success is what drives me. The privilege we have in shaping young minds is humbling and a joy.​

I have 3 fabulous grown up children and 3 wonderful dogs. Dolly, one of them, has been a school dog for several years now and has made a huge difference to the wellbeing of the children. I love to read, make things, walk in the countryside, garden and eat chocolate biscuits.

I have had a long and varied career in primary education.

I was initially a Key Stage Two teacher in two different Junior Schools, followed by a move to Deputy Headship and then Headship in a Primary School.

My absolute love of working in primary education has given me the opportunity to work with incredible children, parents and staff. Building safe and positive partnerships is so important for our children to be happy and succeed. Inclusion and Equal Opportunity are main elements of my whole life ethos. I have had the privilege of working with many young people and adults from diverse and exciting backgrounds, I have never stopped learning. Throughout my career I have set high expectations with the young people I work with. Whilst there can be a number of barriers to learning, with consistency, perseverance, determination and shared humour I know that achievements can be made and celebrated. Every child can achieve their best through carefully planned activities, support and challenge and positive relationships. I personally learn through a variety of direct teaching strategies, creativity, application and exploring the world around me. This is my approach to tutoring.

I am a mum – and friend – to my two adult boys. We have grown up learning together and I love my boys coming home from university to look after me every now and then. Our cat Dave enjoys this too. I enjoy cooking and baking. My garden is my place to explore with my house being the space for my creativity.

I am a primary school teacher with 7 years experience and I currently teach in Year 2.  I have worked across all of Key stage 1 and Early Years and have experience of phonics screening checks, early reading and KS1 SATs.  Although the majority of my experience is in KS1 I have covered classes in KS2 and have a good knowledge of the KS2 curriculum and would be more than happy to support a child in any primary year group.  

 My previous work in mental health as an Occupational Therapist  has provided me with many transferable skills as a teacher.  I love teaching and am passionate about supporting children to grown in confidence and believe in their own abilities.  I believe that building a good rapport with children is vital and it is wonderful to work with a child 1:1 or  in small groups and to see them achieve the best they can. 

Outside of work I enjoy spending my time with my family, including my 2 teenage children.  I also love being outdoors either walking our black Labrador Luna or open water swimming.  I am also very creative and enjoy many arts and crafts as a way to relax.

I am a Primary School Teacher who is currently teaching in Reception but have experience of working in all year groups from Nursery to Year 6. I am therefore happy to work with children across both Key Stage One and Key Stage Two, as well as support children with English as Additional Language and SEN needs.

Before teaching, I worked as a Swimming Teacher and, with a Degree in Sports Science, have a love of both active and outdoor learning. Whilst being experienced with Read Write Inc and Little Wandle, I am equally confident to support with other phonics schemes as well as Maths, Writing and across all other Primary subjects.

Most importantly, I believe in child-led learning, finding out what works best for the individual and adapting teaching to support the child’s development.

 I have a dog called Misty who keeps me busy with walks, runs and play! I also enjoy gardening and reading and do weekly Pilates.

 I have been teaching in Nottingham for 25 years and it is all I have ever wanted to do. During this time, I have taught in all year groups across the primary phase from reception to Year 6. I have worked with children to support their preparation for KS1 and KS2 SATs and as a Special Needs co-ordinator for 14 years I had many opportunities to plan personalised curriculums to support individual learners and help them to maximise their potential. I have been a senior leader in various schools for the last 15 years and have now been a head teacher for 5 years. I love my role but ensure I spend time in the classroom teaching as I enjoy teaching very much and I like to keep up to date with the most up to date practices and initiatives. 

Much of my experience has been in the field of inclusion, I strongly believe that all children can achieve their very best with carefully planned engaging lessons that support and challenge the individual child. I work hard to build confidence, independence and resilience in each and every child. The key to helping children to succeed is to build positive relationships so children feel confident to take an active part in their learning. 

Outside of work, I love to read and visit the theatre. I also enjoy walking in the countryside and visiting new places in the UK, I do love a road trip. 

  I have over fifteen years teaching experience. I have worked at large Primary Schools as a Year 6 teacher but also have experience of teaching in Key Stage One as well other years in Key Stage Two. 

I have extensive experience of preparing children for the 11+ examination (VR, NVR, Maths and English). I have successfully been teaching children 1-1 and in small groups for the 11+ for over five years and have helped more than a hundred students to pass the entrance exam of their chosen schools. Additionally, I have an English Language and Literature degree from Goldsmith's College, University of London.

Outside of work, I enjoy participating in volunteer activities. I spend my evenings listening to music and taking long walks. My favourite book is 'The BFG.'  

 I'm Joe! I am early into my teaching career but come with an abundance of enthusiasm, ambition and energy. I am extremely child-centered in everything I do, but ultimately aim to achieve the best possible growth and education for children in a holistic and fun way! 

I have experience teaching the full Primary Education Curriculum from ages 5-11 and currently teach in F2 Reception. 

Outside of this, I am extremely active and love every kind of sport. I enjoy big hikes and travelling the world as much as I can! 

 I am French and I have been in Nottingham for over 15 years. I teach French at all levels from children to adults. I have lots of experience teaching French from scratch, but also to learners who struggled to learn French in school or with other tutors. 

I love my language and I love teaching so I spend a lot of time developing homemade games and lessons. With my methods, the learners start speaking French quickly and the lessons seem effortless and fun. 

I am a keen comedy improviser and every week I co-run an improvising jam. We make up stories on the spot, on stage in front of everybody and I use these skills to teach French. I like to make my students feel free to speak and to explore the language.

I  have been teaching in Key Stage 2 in schools since 2013 and have over 9 years experience tutoring across the primary age range.  

One of my favourite subjects is maths (my favourite is History) and I particularly enjoy teaching and tutoring this subject. It is immensely fulfilling to see children's confidence grow once they grasp a strategy or concept and I love helping children overcome their difficulties with this subject. 

I also love teaching writing, where I thoroughly enjoying helping children to develop their vocabulary,  writing technique and writing style. Additionally, I am very confident in using the Rainbow Grammar approach used in many Nottingham Schools. I am also very confident in  supporting children with 11+ preparation.

Outside of work, I am learning to play the piano and I love spending time with my two cockerpoos, Rocky and Bella. 

I am a primary school teacher with 9 years of teaching experience in primary schools and tutoring. My experience mainly lies across Key Stage Two, where I have taught in Years 3, 4 and 5, but I am more than happy to work with Key Stage One children too. 

For a year, I lived in France and worked as an English Language Assistant across 3 primary schools, as well as teaching for 2 years in an international school in Germany, where for one of these years I worked as an EAL (English as an Additional Language) Teacher. These experiences gave me brilliant strategies and insight into teaching English as a foreign language and enable children to learn a language effectively.

I work hard to establish an environment of mutual respect that celebrates personal development, growth and well-being for each individual. I love to find different ways to engage children in their learning, to make it fun, encourage them to embrace mistakes, and become self-motivated to develop as learners.

Outside of work, I love being active and outdoors, particularly hiking. I love to learn languages and be immersed in different cultures, and am very interested in nutrition. 

 Graduating from The University of Sheffield in Accountancy & Management in 2012, I first worked as an accountant for UHY Hacker Young. It only took a year in industry to realise this profession wasn’t for me, so after working as an Au Pair in Paris and travelling Australasia for another year, I took on a PGCE in 2015 (7-11 specialism).
 

Since 2015, I worked as a Year 4 and 5 teacher, before branching out to experience lots of different schools and year groups on supply. During the pandemic, I began online tutoring and have subsequently developed my love of 11+ tuition. My background in finance has come in handy for quick Maths up to GCSE level, plus coaching tactical thinking processes in chess clubs. For the past 18 months I have worked as an Academic Mentor within a school, as part of The National Tutoring Programme’s response to Covid-19.
 

Asides from teaching, I love pilates, spinning, reading and re-learning French, but I am happiest spending time in the outdoors.

 I have had a long and varied career in Primary education. I have held many roles, including Acting Headteacher, Deputy head, Subject leader for Maths and Computing. I have also been a Maths SATs marker and I now provide training for teachers in Primary Computer Science.

I have specialised in Key Stage 2, with the aim of building children’s confidence and getting them ready to embrace the challenges of Secondary School. 

I have really enjoyed the rewards of tutoring both KS2 and KS3 children. My belief is that, with a little time and renewed confidence, all children can flourish!

When I’m not teaching, I’m busy being a Mum to 3 teenagers and walking my dog and husband!

I am currently in my 8th year of teaching in primary schools. In that time, I have built up a range of experience, teaching various year groups and children of ranging abilities in KS1 and KS2.

The best part of my job is being able to see the children grow in confidence and I believe that giving them that self-belief is a huge step towards them being able to make progress. I enjoy getting to know the children that I work with and finding out what their interests are and what motivates them.

Outside of work, I love to watch sport and still play competitive football. I can often be found at Trent Bridge watching the cricket or at a football stadium somewhere around the country.

Hi, I’m Sara, and I believe that as well as being an effective learning tool, tutoring should also be engaging, interactive, and most importantly, FUN! With six years of experience as a trained primary school teacher, I've had the pleasure of teaching bright young minds across all Primary Key Stages, (EYFS, KS1 and KS2). In addition to my classroom experience, I've also served as a Phonics lead in a school, where I've helped develop innovative strategies to enhance phonics instruction and literacy skills. Phonics is the foundation of reading and writing, and I'm committed to making it accessible and exciting for every learner.

But more than just teaching subjects, I'm passionate about instilling a love for learning and helping students realize their full potential. Education is not just about memorizing facts; it's about nurturing curiosity, critical thinking, and creativity.

As part of making learning interactive, I like to incorporate music, games, and hands-on activities into the learning process. I've seen first-hand how these methods can ignite a passion for learning in students of all ages. Whether it's singing catchy songs to reinforce phonics concepts or playing educational games to make maths come alive, I'm dedicated to making each lesson an enjoyable and enriching experience.

One of the aspects of teaching I find the most rewarding is witnessing a growth in confidence of my pupils. There's nothing quite like watching a pupil finally grasp a difficult concept or seeing them tackle new challenges with resilience.

In my spare time, I am also a keen musician and I enjoy singing, playing the piano and writing my own music.

 I have 10 years of primary teaching experience and have spent 5 of these years in Year 6. Throughout my career I have worked in a range of areas and encountered children of all attitudes and abilities. This has enabled me to gain valuable experience in teaching children from a range of circumstances and develop my practice to meet the needs of individuals. 

My key passion is teaching maths and trying to create fluent mathematicians that understand the key concepts and build upon the foundations. Recently, I have been accepted as a Primary Teaching Maths Mastery Practitioner and will be gaining valuable training to help create masters of number. In addition to this, I have experience in the key assessment points in Primary School, being able to equip children with key skills ready to face these challenges. However, creating lifelong learners who have a passion for improving themselves is my key aim. 

In my spare time, I enjoy playing and watching a range of sports and spending time with my family. I visit many country parks regularly and am a keen believer in being outside and experiencing everything that you can. 

I am currently a Year 5 teacher. I have been teaching for nearly 4 years and I have had experience working with Year 4 and Year 6 children.

I am currently a phase leader, a reading specialist and coordinating science within the school I teach. I enjoy working with all children in order to achieve the best outcomes. I want to unlock the potential of all learners.

I spend my spare time with family and friends, and I also enjoy reading.  

I am an experienced and qualified teacher with over 5 years of tutoring experience. I have been teaching in Key Stage 1 for the past few years and I have worked with a wide range of children in this setting with varying needs. I am very confident supporting children with reading, writing and mathematics.

I understand the importance of listening to children and finding out what works best for them in order to help them be successful in their learning. I love tutoring and seeing the difference one to one support can give.

In my spare time, I enjoy reading and walking. I also like to do yoga and meditation. 

I have worked with children in various roles, for 13 years. I was a care worker for children with SEND, then a TA in primary and secondary schools before training as a primary school teacher. I have taught in the EYFS, KS1 and LKS2, and my most recent role was in year 4.

I have experience working with children with EAL and SEND, and believe that children need to be cared for and respected, and not just talked at. I have always believed that children deserve to be heard and listened to, and I make it my aim to find the best way to work with each child I tutor.

I am a mum to 2 little boys, and I run my own business called Drama Safari, teaching children through drama and imaginative play. 

In my spare time I love to workout, sing, go on adventures with my children and attend live theatre or comedy events.

I'm Carla. Before I was a teacher, I worked as a journalist for BBC Newsround so have a background of bringing sometimes dry concepts to life for children. My qualification is in secondary English but more recently, I've been teaching primary school Maths and English to help prepare students for their SATS. 

In terms of online tutoring, I have experience teaching GCSE Maths and RSS, again in preparation for the end of Key Stage 3 national exams. In addition, I teach an online ESOL class once a week, as well as a face-to-face class for adults whose first language is other than English. I speak French so love the opportunity to practice it now and again. Overall, I have been teaching for 16 years.

As much as I can, I try to make lessons relevant to real life as well as fun, but there's no shying away from the truth that perseverance always pays off. For this reason, when I see students making steady incremental steps, I am so happy!

Aside from teaching, I enjoy walks in the park and litter picking with a local church environmental group. That's not 100% true: picking up litter is not so enjoyable! I like digging into local history too.

 I am a qualified primary school teacher with 10 years of experience. I currently work for the Department of Education but I am still passionate about working with children and helping them succeed.

During my teaching career, I have worked in Years 3, 4 and 5. Alongside my classroom job, I was also head of maths and KS2 phase leader giving me a deep understanding of the curriculum and how to help students achieve their potential. I am patient, approachable and have a track record of building meaningful relationships with all my students.

Beyond my teaching career, I am a massive nerd. I am a huge Harry Potter, Marvel and Star Wars fan. I also love all sports and enjoy playing badminton, cricket and Padel! I also spend my time chasing my two year old around!

You always remember an outstanding teacher, maybe they were passionate about their subject, maybe they supported you through a difficult time or maybe they just believed in you and your abilities. I know that when I was growing up I had a favourite, someone I respected and wanted to make proud, which is why I aspire to be that role model for someone else.

I am currently supply teaching across Nottingham and I ABSOLUTELY love it - no two days are the same and we always remember to have fun along the way!

Being a supply teacher means my availability is very flexible with a range of availability throughout the week and holidays too.  

My dog, Yogi Bear (pictured above), is the apple of my eye and I enjoy taking him on long woodland walks. He loves swimming and rolling in mud which is always good fun! My family are avid campers and we love exploring the beautiful British countryside.

I am currently a year 4 teacher, having previously taught in year 3 and 6. I have been teaching in schools for four years and tutoring children in 1-1 and group settings for six years. I am the Head of Humanities in a primary school in Hackney that serves a diverse community of children. I am currently completing a middle leadership programme accredited by UCL.

I am a passionate, understanding and positive teacher who makes learning fun, engaging and accessible. I love witnessing that ‘light bulb moment’ when something clicks in a child’s mind and I genuinely love what I do. The best thing about tutoring is going at a pace that suits the individual. I plan sessions with that specific child in mind and the hope that they leave feeling confident and supported. 

I love singing and have recently joined a choir. I like practising Spanish and I also love to laugh… so I love a good joke!

I am a highly experienced, successful, Ofsted ‘outstanding’ primary teacher. I am thoroughly organised, well-planned, passionate and will assist students in moving to their potential in a comfortable, encouraging and friendly manner that will help them move forward confidently. 

As part of my practice, you will find that I consistently differentiate, adapt, personalise and assess to ensure that each student is receiving the very best from their time with me. 

On a personal note, my interests mainly revolve around my dog, the best excuse to be outside and to keep healthy! But in the summer I can quite frequently be found wandering around the boundaries of cricket fields as all my family play obsessively!

I look forward to meeting you. 

 I  am an experienced teacher and have been teaching across Key Stages 1-4 for 27 years. I have worked as a secondary drama teacher and as a primary class teacher and dance and drama co-ordinator in London Schools. I have a proven track record of helping students reach their academic potential with gentle support and encouragement to build confidence and challenge their expectations of what they are able to achieve.

For the last five years I have been working as a home tutor for the Hospital Learning Centre in Nottingham.  I plan my lessons ensuring that they constitute a progression of skills, knowledge and ability, as well as promoting an awareness in the student of their own creative potential by using games to support learning (especially at the primary level).

Hobbies of mine include  walking (especially in the Peak District), painting landscape art, jewellery making, singing and studying world history via myths and legends. 

 Having qualified as a teacher from the University of Nottingham a few years, I am now working as a full time tutor in a Nottingham city school. I provide 1:1 and group support in English and Maths as well as teaching whole classes. I ensure that pupils feel safe and well supported and this leads to significant academic progress. 

I cater for different learning styles through a mixed learning approach as I use various methods to help all learners – this includes the use of visual resources and learning through a hands-on approach. My lessons include varied activities, promoting creativity, and I ensure that high expectations are set and pupils’ learning is stretched accordingly to achieve these expectations.

In my spare time, I regularly run long distances, participating in 10 km and half marathon races. I am also a keen reader and enjoy cooking and baking for family and friends. 

I have been teaching for almost 7 years now. I started doing bits of tuition when I was at university. Immediately after graduting at Nottingham Trent with a BA HONS in French and Spanish, I taught English at l'Université de Franche Comté in France. I then came back to the UK and worked in exports and then decided to become a Secondary School teacher. For the past 3 years, I have been teaching French and Spanish across schools in Derby.  

In my teaching career so far, I have taught primary school students, secondary students, university students and adults.  I enjoy teaching because I love to help others and pass on my love for language learning. I understand that language learning can be difficult as I have been through it myself! I am extremely approachable and as a result, form great relationships with students.   

Outside of work, I like to read, write, explore new places, play football and sing.  

I have been teaching full-time in Year 3 and 4 for the last few years in a primary school in Bilborough. I also have experience teaching in Year 1, and Year 5. 

I am particularly passionate about Maths and I aim to teach it in a creative yet simplistic way that makes it accessible for all. I also enjoy teaching children to read and helping them to develop a love of reading. This further helps children to improve their comprehension and fluency skills. 

Hobbies of mine include dancing, swimming, cycling and going out with my friends and family! I am also the proud owner of two cats, Olly and Finn!

I studied at the University of Chester and completed my degree in 2017. I moved back to Nottingham as it is my home town.  

I do have experience in teaching children from Foundation Stage to Year 6 however, I have spent the last few years teaching years 3, 4 and 5. I am a true believer in hands on and active learning. I find it is one of the best ways for a child to learn. 

 I also enjoy the challenges of tutoring and supporting children who are working towards the 11+.  

My favourite part of tutoring a child is seeing them have that ‘light bulb moment’. Giving a child confidence and then encouraging them to achieve and succeed is really rewarding.  

In my spare time I can often be found wearing my wellies as I enjoy the outdoors. My favourite food is chocolate!  

I am a Primary School teacher with 6 years of valuable teaching experience, having worked with a variety of pupils with different needs in Key stages 1 and 2. My experience has enabled me to gain an in-depth knowledge of the Primary Curriculum and apply different teaching and learning strategies to help children make accelerated progress along their learning journey; I have also tutored pupils one-to-one for the past year, applying teaching strategies that have proven to be effective in my lessons.

As there is more emphasis on children achieving higher standards in English and Maths, I understand the pressures and stress children go through within schools to do well. I am aware that each child has their own unique capabilities and face many obstacles along their learning journey. 

I offer a nurturing approach towards teaching and will work towards developing a good understanding of how your child learns, before delivering a focused approach at tackling misconceptions and building on your child’s learning. 

I am able to support your child in preparation for their KS1 or KS2 SATS assessment. I am also able to offer support in any area that your child is struggling with such as in reading, writing, SPAG (spelling, punctuation and grammar) and Maths.

I have worked with children for 12 years and qualified as a teacher in 2013. I have taught every year group from Year 1 through to Year 6 and have leadership experience as Head of English. I have been teaching Year 1 since returning from my second maternity leave in October 2021. Prior to this, I have taught in Year 6 for 18 months, Year 3 for 3 years and Year 2 for 2 1/2 years. Whilst I was an English lead, I provided cover for Year 4, 5 and 6 classes so I am well versed with the entire primary curriculum. 

My aim is to help children to become lifelong learners. To do this, I like to keep sessions fun and stimulating whilst challenging pupils appropriately. As an experienced teacher, I recognise that children have different learning styles and I adapt my practice to suit the needs of each learner. I know that children learn best when they feel safe, confident and are given opportunities to express themselves. I try to offer students lots of positive reinforcement but also help them to recognise where they can make improvements in their learning. 

I spend a lot of time with my two young children at the park or at various different play groups. I love books and I am an avid reader. I really enjoy cooking a range of cuisines and love learning new recipes. I am a keen Forest fan and watch a lot of football with my husband. 

I have been a primary school teacher for over 20 years. My experience is very varied - I’ve taught from nursery to Year 6, I’ve been a class teacher, a cover teacher and a Specialist Student Support teacher. My last role was as a Learning Support and EAL teacher. I especially enjoy working with children who have found learning to read a bot of a challenge. Having spent the last 15 years teaching overseas (in Vietnam, Indonesia and Germany), I have many years of experience teaching and supporting children who do not speak English as a first language (I am also TEFL trained). After this adventure I am now settling in Wollaton with my family. 

To me, a key factor in successful teaching is the building of relationships. Getting to know the children I teach helps me to understand areas they need support and what that support should look like but also why they may need that support. Knowing there is another person who understands and cares about them helps a child increase their confidence.

I love being outdoors, swimming, running, walking, going out on my SUP or BBQing or reading in my garden with my family. I have 2 of my own children (aged 9 and 11) who I am happy to say take up a lot of my time! 

I am a Year 3 class teacher and have vast experience teaching having taught for 7 years in Ireland, Spain and the UK.

I have taught in Early Years, Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 and tutored online for three years to UK based and international students.

I have a passion for special needs also and also play a key role in the SEN team in my primary school supporting the school SENDCo and specialist staff in the school's autism unit. 

I have a BA Hons degree in Early Childhood Studies and I'm a fully qualified primary school teacher. I love teaching and thoroughly enjoy supporting students to achieve their full potential. Building a strong rapport with my students is important to me in order for the child to build a positive attitude towards tuition and achieving their goals. 

Outside of teaching and tutoring, I thoroughly enjoy running and going to the gym. From time to time, I like to run half marathons around my local area and I ran my first half marathon race earlier this year! I also love to travel to see and experience new areas both in the UK and abroad. 

 I am a passionate and friendly German and French tutor and tailor my lessons to my students' needs.  I started teaching languages in 2010 and over the last 10+ years, I have taught students from the ages of 8-70 online, in secondary schools, in colleges and privately.

 I have helped thousands of students to improve their confidence, develop a love of languages and improve their grades. My specialisms in German are:  KS2, KS3, GCSE, A-Level and Pre-University level. I also specialise in German for adult conversation  My specialisms in French are:  KS2, KS3 and GCSE. I also specialise in teaching adult French conversation for beginners.

Outside of teaching, I spend my time travelling, watching films, boxing and playing the piano.

 I have been teaching Year 3 for the past year. Before that, I worked as an LSA in an Autistic provision for three years. I am extremely passionate about teaching and learning! I used to teach English to Brazilian and Portuguese individuals. 

I love working in schools and with children! I could not imagine a more rewarding career - I love seeing how pupils develop academically and as a person. To know I have had an input in their development is extremely rewarding. 

Outside of work, I am learning sign language and have two pets - a bearded dragon named Buckbeak and a collie shepherd named Stark. 

I’ve always wanted to be a teacher for as long as I can remember and being a teacher for the last 3 years has been nothing less than amazing! I am currently a Year 5/6 teacher and have taught mainly in KS2 however I have previously tutored from Years 2-6 and so I am secure with the curriculum for those ages.

Teaching has not only given me the ability to impart knowledge, but also the opportunity to learn new things every single day! I love the fact that no two children are the same; it encourages the importance of ensuring learning and teaching are tailored to suit all children. I love to help children grow their mindset, confidence and resilience to facilitate them to overcome challenges both inside and outside of the classroom.

Outside of teaching, I love going for runs with my dog, (although he can’t manage long runs with his little legs so they normally turn into long walks) reading and trying out new recipes to cook for friends and family. 

As a qualified primary school teacher and museum educator, I have over ten years of experience working with children in schools, tuition centres, and museums in the UK and abroad. I’ve worked with pupils throughout all KS1 and KS2 age groups, and also have experience of tutoring for the 11+ exams. As a TEFL teacher, I also have plenty of experience with teaching English as a foreign language and, as a fluent German-speaker, have worked with young learners in various roles while spending several years living and working in Germany and Switzerland.

Having worked with pupils of all abilities and learning styles, I know how to adapt the material I teach to each child on a personal and individual level. I always aim to make learning as fun and engaging as possible, yet still relaxed enough to put my students at ease. I tailor every lesson to the individual needs, goals, interests, and learning styles of the child, and I do my best to help them see and realise their own potential.

In my spare time, I love to read and write. I enjoy being outdoors and go hiking and running as often as I can. I’m a huge lover of history and take every chance I get to travel and explore the world’s heritage.

Being a teacher is something I always wanted to do growing up. This is because at school you always remember the ones who inspired you and of course the role models. 

I am currently supply teaching across Nottingham and, to tell you the truth, I find it amazing! I get a chance to build experiences and have a go at many different things! I feel that this year on supply has taught me so much in preparation for my NQT year.

On a personal front, I am sport mad! I love playing football, cricket and really any sport that’s available and I am a huge Nottingham Forest fan (think of that what you will). I also enjoy trips to my favourite seaside town, Whitby. 

I know from personal experiences that labels mean nothing! This is because I am dyslexic, which to many may be a barrier, but I feel if I can overcome it and get my dream job, anybody can! 

I have currently worked in primary education for four years and I have loved every second of it. I began my training in Key Stage 1, where I was able to teach for two years in both Year 1 and Year 2 classes. I have spent the rest of my teaching career working across Key Stage 2. I have taught across Years 3, 4 and 5 and I am currently a Year 5 teacher. I have had lots of experience working with a range of abilities, behaviours and needs including SEND and EAL pupils.

I have a very creative, enthusiastic and hands on approach to teaching. I believe that everyone’s learning style is unique to them, which is why I ensure that all the learning is tailored to the needs of the child. My aim is to inspire children and to show them a love of learning.

My educational background perfectly aligns me to the teaching role with a unique creative flare. Before teaching, I studied Fine Art, Textiles, Photography and Media Studies also achieving a degree in Graphic Design. I began to carry out voluntary Art classes across schools and soon discovered a passion for teaching. Now, I am able to combine my love for the arts with teaching in order to create fun and exciting lessons across the curriculum.

I have been working in Primary Schools for the past 15 years... starting as a volunteer, then an LSA, a Higher Level Teaching Assistant and finally a teacher. I have taught from Years 1 – 6 inclusive and have a sound knowledge of the SATS process. My approach is very child centred and personalised. I look at celebrating the positives first and then gradually working through the harder bits, all at the child's pace, with a view to plugging any gaps so the child can celebrate success in their learning. I teach in many different ways according to preferred learning style and believe it is important to give the child a meaningful context to their learning by relating objectives to everyday life.

I have seen rapid progress with students that I tutor on a 1-1 basis, achieved through determination, commitment, hard work, imagination and humour!

Aside from teaching I do voluntary work, sing in a community choir, act as a ‘host’ for dogs, enjoy walking and generally being outdoors. 

 I graduated from Nottingham Trent University in 2020 with a degree in Primary Education. I spent four years in training at the university where I studied and focused on teaching children between the ages of 5 and 11. Working from Reception all the way up to Year 6, I've had a variety of experiences during my training. Currently, I teach Year 2 as well as being the school's Science coordinator. I have a depth of knowledge from teaching year 2 over the past year, and I have the experience to help children with their SATs.

I have worked with a variety of children with varying learning needs, and I know how to tailor each lesson to meet the specific needs of each child. I use a variety of approaches to support all learners, including the incorporation of visual and concrete resources and representations. I have a strong interest in English and reading, and I hope to educate children in a fun way by incorporating lessons and new concepts into child-related contexts that are relevant to their interests.

I enjoy building strong relationships with children and have a real passion for helping them understand new concepts and ideas. My main aim is to help children grow and become more confident within themselves and realise their true capabilities.

In my spare time, I enjoy going on long walks with my dog Sapphire, reading lots of new books, being outside because I enjoy going on adventures, and baking new and exciting recipes. 

I have been a primary school teacher for 9 years and have experience working in a number of different settings. I am passionate about tailoring education towards the learning needs of the child and particularly enjoy working with children in small groups and 1-2-1, where learning can be more child-led. I hold a BA in special and inclusive education and a PGCE in primary education. I have taken a year out of teaching to complete an MSc in Psychology and am hoping to gain a place on the doctorate training to become an educational psychologist. I have been tutoring throughout my training.

I specialise in teaching maths and was maths curriculum lead at my previous school. I led the implementation of the mastery curriculum, where the focus was on finding innovative ways to teach the skills required to understand maths at a deeper level. 

In my spare time, I enjoy being outdoors and active and love to find new countryside to explore. I also love curling up with a good book.

I have been teaching KS2 since 2018, having completed a PGCE at Oxford Brookes. I began teaching in a tiny village school in Oxfordshire - my class of 15 children was comprised of Years 3 - 6. I moved to Nottingham recently  and have been working as a supply teacher  since then. This have given me a wealth of experience in both KS1 and KS2 classes but UKS2 is most definitely where my teaching strength lies.

 My favourite subject to teach is English - books and words are my favourite things! My undergraduate degree was in English Literature and I am currently studying for my MA in Education (you’re never too old to learn new things!)

Prior to teaching, I brought up my two children, travelled solo around the world, worked as a prison librarian, a travel editor, and a teaching assistant. I always enjoy a challenge! When I’m not teaching or studying, I will usually be found with my nose in a book, cooking up a feast, or heading out to watch a gig.

We always remember our amazing teachers and experiences in school, which is why I decided to become a teacher.  

I completed a degree in Psychology before I trained to be a primary school teacher. This background gives me a good understanding of Special Educational Needs and barriers to learning, ensuring I can tailor learning to the needs of each individual. I am currently a Year 5 teacher and before this, worked in Year 4 and Year 1. I absolutely love working in KS2 but I also have great knowledge and understanding of the KS1 curriculum. I am trained in two different phonics schemes, as well as Talk 4 Writing.  

I believe that every child should develop a passion for learning and I love seeing the spark that children get when they understand a new concept or enjoy what they are learning.  

I am particularly passionate about writing and reading and helping children develop a love for these subjects. I enjoy linking subjects to topics children enjoy to really engage them in their learning.  
I previously worked in a Veterinary Surgery for 3 years, so have an absolute passion for animals. I have two very cuddly cats and three geckos at home. I spend a lot of my spare time reading and I love Disney!  

I have been teaching for 27 years. I am currently a supply teacher – teaching mainly in primary schools. My permanent, full time teaching roles have included many years in primary schools, mainly Year 3 to Year 6, and nine years in secondary school, where I taught as a learning support teacher and as an English teacher.  I have held various management roles such as History and Geography Co-ordinator; I.T. Co-ordinator and EMAG Co-ordinator.

 I have a wide experience of working with children of all ages and abilities; including children with special educational needs and children who have English as an additional language.   I love teaching and sharing the learning experience of the children I am working with. I appreciate that learning is an experience that is unique to each individual and to each session. I am adaptable and flexible and use a wide range of techniques and approaches to stimulate and encourage good progress.   

I am quite adventurous and love cycling; taking long country walks; going on random drives; and organising and taking part in trips and residentials with my church youth group.

With almost twenty years experience of working with children, I’ve had the privilege of seeing many children progress through their educational journey. I’ve been lucky enough to have worked with children from pre-school age, right through to young people approaching adulthood. My classroom experience is primary aged pupils and I’ve taught every year group from nursery to year six.  I studied English at University and worked in educational theatre before training to be a teacher. I have training and experience of teaching children with dyslexia, developmental language disorder and autistic children. 

My teaching style is centred around focused praise and attainable targets tailored personally to the individual. I have experience of leading Mathematics and use a mastery approach to support learning. I am passionate about empowering children to love learning and discover their own answers.  

On a personal note, I love spending time with my family, reading and cooking. To relax, you’ll find me drinking coffee with friends or walking my dog whilst listening to a podcast.

 I am a Primary School Teacher who is currently working as supply across Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2. I also have extensive experience with children in Foundation, therefore I am happy to tutor children in any Primary year group. I have worked with children with English as Additional Language and children with moderate to high Special Educational  Needs, and I am happy to tutor these children.  Before teaching, I studied Psychology at University and I worked as a Healthcare Worker in different roles for a few years.

My main goal in teaching is to motivate and inspire children to learn and achieve their goals. I believe in active learning and I aim at having children enjoy and be genuinely interested in learning. I support a mastery approach, knowing that the key to fluency is practice. I know that positive relationships and open communication can support children in their learning.

I love to dance and sing (although I am not a professional!) and in my free time, I read novels, do yoga and swim. I am learning to crochet stuffed animals. 

 As a teacher since 1995, I have taught from Year 1 to Year 6 - rising to Head of Junior Department. After starting a family, I carried on part time and also worked in secondary from Year 7 to Y11 in maths intervention.

 I have been a tutor for many years in KS1/2 subjects and in Secondary maths up to GCSE. As a senior examiner for KS2 maths SATs, senior examiner for Cambridge international maths in primary, Principal for Year 9 and marker for iGCSEs I have a wealth of experience in education. Working in test development and understanding the exam pressure I see past this to the reality that learners need to attain grades to achieve their dream for the future. 

I work for CGP, NFER, SQA, STA and recently as a part time content editor for Twinkl. Through all this I tutor 4 days a week and love meeting with my students, enjoying learning and sharing a giggle along the way. 

I have completed a degree in Psychology and a Postgraduate Diploma in Education and I have been teaching in Lincolnshire for the last couple of years. I am now teaching in a supply role working in Primary Schools across Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire.

I believe that education is empowering, and I aim for my students to develop a love of learning. I take pride in knowing each individual child’s abilities and use this to inform the next steps in learning and ensure progress.

I have recently become a Dad, so a lot of my spare time is spent with my baby daughter. I enjoy being outdoors and love hiking in the peak district with the family and our dogs (a Labrador and a Dalmatian). I also enjoy watching sports, listening to rock music and reading books. 

I have recently qualified as a teacher, after 4 years of studying at Nottingham Trent University. Within this I specialised in ages 5-11, with a wide range of experience across both Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2. Having worked in an Early Years class, I have seen the progression that learners can experience across their primary experience. 

I am a friendly and supportive person who can support a child in their learning, by making lessons fun as well as informative.

I have worked in a variety of different contexts, meaning I have a broad range of experience. This includes working at an American children's summer camp, teaching horse riding!

In my spare time I love taking care of plants and clay-based activities. I also have a horse that I ride called Laddie!

I am currently tutoring across KS2 in a school in Nottingham. This includes focusing on literacy with Year 4 and numeracy with Years 5 and 6, including preparing pupils for SATs. I have 3 years' experience as a Class Teacher across KS1 and KS2. I taught all subjects in years 1, 2, 3 and 4, including phonics. Prior to this I ran a training company for 5 years, training Higher and Further Education students. 

I help children recap, recover and consolidate gaps in their learning. I am adaptable to the needs of any KS1 or KS2 pupils to see consistent progress and a positive outlook to learning. 

I am a father of 3 children who are 13, 11 and 4 years old. We enjoy fun family activities such as going to parks, swimming, painting, playing Mario games and eating pancakes to name a few! In my spare time I play guitar, write songs and enjoy walking in the countryside. 

I moved from my hometown of Shrewsbury in Shropshire in 2003 to complete my BA(Hons) in Primary Education at Nottingham Trent University and I have been living here ever since! 

I have been teaching for 12 years and my experience lies within the EYFS and KS1 (4-7 years). I enjoy these first years of school and early stages of education as I feel that providing children with solid foundations and confidence in their early learning and knowledge is so important for their future learning. I have specialist training in early reading, early maths and English. 

Supporting children through tuition is a really rewarding experience and I love to see each child grow in confidence as they progress with their learning, make links and realise that they can do it! 

In my spare time I like to meet up with friends and family and I also enjoy walking. I have also recently become an avid runner!

I have 18 years’ experience in teaching across the Primary curriculum. I feel that the best way to allow children to flourish in their learning is to give them work that enables them to show what they can do, as this will allow the children to take risks and that it is helpful to make mistakes as they help us to understand.

I have a very enthusiastic approach to teaching which helps keep children engaged, challenged and motivated to do well. When I teach, I use the motto, "It is OK to not know, but it is not ok to not try". The children are made aware that they are to challenge themselves and if they improve a little each lesson then they are a success. 

 My name is Sarah and I have been teaching for 19 years. Over that time, I have taught Foundation to Year 4 in two schools. For the last three years, I have been teaching in a Year 4 class.

I am currently a supply teacher working in both the City and County Council.  I have permanent supply role within a Year 3 class one morning a week. 

Ensuring children succeed in their education at whatever level that is, is a priority of mine. I love to make learning fun and meaningful. Children need to  have a can do attitude towards learning and therefore this is reflected within my teaching.  Making mistakes is good, it means that we learn from them and make it better the next time. 

I live with my husband, seven year old son and dog. I enjoy running, going for walks, baking, doing crafts and playing games.

I have been teaching since 2007 and have always worked in UKS2, mainly Year 5, but have done booster and support sessions in both Year 6 and  Year 4. I initially trained in Nottingham and qualified with a BA (Hons) in Primary Education. I took a Master's in Inclusive Education which helped me when I took on the post of SENCO, which I held for eight years. This gave me a good insight into a wide range of learning difficulties experienced by children.  

It’s great to work with children in a 1-1 situation because you can actually tailor your teaching precisely to the wants and needs of the  pupil.  

I have five grandchildren ranging from Year 8 (who I help with  Maths) to Year 4 so they keep me busy. In my spare time, I enjoy long country walks with my dog, Alfie.

 I am a Nottingham based primary teacher who currently works as a schools inspector in the East Midlands. I am a qualified headteacher who has achieved TES English Team of the year and World Class Schools Status in 2018.  I qualified as a teacher in 1998 at Manchester Metropolitan University where I achieved a 2:1 in BA (Hons) Primary Education with QTS. 

I have been a teacher for over 20 years and have extensive experience of working in Early Years right through to the end of KS2 during this time. This has enabled me to become an exemplary classroom teacher and leader which has been acknowledged by Ofsted and Challenge Partners.  

I am a very creative and forward thinking practitioner who personalises learning for each and every child. I believe in allowing children to enhance their learning through experiences, understanding the gaps in children's knowledge and tailoring learning to the child to allow them to embed long term knowledge and enable them to achieve their life goals. 

I am a musician having recently graduated with an MA in Music Composition and a BA (Hons) in Music from York St John University. 

I have a passion for teaching, volunteering in community projects, and mentoring throughout my university studies – then immediately going on to teach music after graduating. I truly believe that music can have an incredible impact on people’s lives, increasing creativity and confidence, and this is something I wish to share and let everyone have the chance to experience!  

Having played the piano for over 20 years, I have a vast range of experience, performing from university graduations, cathedrals to smaller local venues.

I have an interest in a diverse range of musical genres from Baroque through to modern Pop and Rock but specialize in the eras of Impressionism and Romanticism.

Outside of work, I am an avid adventure sports enthusiast, having gone rock climbing and skiing all over Europe!'
