I am qualified primary school teacher. I have been working as a private tutor for over 5 years supporting children between the ages of 5 and 11 in Maths and English. I have a degree in Psychology which has provided me with a wide range of skills including strong interpersonal, organisational and analytical skills. I am conscientious, hard working and caring. I work very well independently and as part of a team, with both children and adults.
