About My Work | AJC Tutoring

I am an experienced specialist tutor and have successfully supported a variety of children and young people in a variety of situations over the last 16 years - within and out of the school environment.

I find that my positivity and patience really helps to create trust with my students - some of which have been through a really tough time at school either emotionally, or with their learning - or often both.

I endeavour to find out what works for each individual student that I work with in order for them to achieve.

Often, by the time I meet a student they have quite low self-esteem. I'm therefore passionate about enabling my students to learn about their individual strengths as well the strategies needed to support their own learning when they're experience specific challenges. With older students particularly, I often use my own learning experience to emphasise the importance of learning about yourself.

Being a mum to three amazing girls and having supported them through their own education I have first-hand experience of many of the challenges that parents face.

I'm also super passionate about children and young people learning to read as fluent reading opens the doors to the rest of their learning and future skills.

Yes, I'm dyslexic which I discovered at the age of 54!

I love the outdoors, nature, studying, my dog and my lovely family.

Having high self-esteem and a positive internal narrative are key to our wellbeing.

For children and young people it is also crucial for their learning.

I know personally some of the struggles pupils encounter, and how their learning, behaviour, confidence, and self-esteem can be affected. Often, despite receiving support through school, many children require that bit extra - individual support for their individual needs. For some it is about filling some gaps in their literacy learning, for others it is ongoing academic, behavioural and emotional support. Whatever the reason it is usually initially about mindset, dealing with their anxieties, and increasing self-esteem and confidence. I endeavour to create a positive attitude in my students whilst working with me.
