Natasha

** QUALIFIED AND EXPERIENCED TEACHER **

Is your child in need of some extra support before their secondary school entrance exams? Or perhaps your child is struggling with a whole-class approach to learning and needs some extra support? Whatever your needs, I would like to help. My name is Natasha and I am a full-time primary school teacher and experienced private tutor based in South Cambridgeshire.

Tutoring Experience

I graduated from the University of Cambridge in 2015, having gained my PGCE in primary education. Following this, I gained my Masters in Educational Research from the University of Cambridge, earning a distinction. I have been a primary school teacher for 9 years, both in Cambridge City and South Cambridgeshire, teaching a range of ages, abilities and special educational needs. Alongside my teaching role, I also lead maths in my school.

Prior to studying education, I studied Ancient History at the University of Birmingham where I gained a first class degree.

Outside of my teaching experience, I have tutored both formally and informally for a number of years. I have found that the one-to-one support from a tutor can often be the key to boosting a child's confidence and understanding, due to the individualised teaching it allows. I have tutored children both for general education and for entrance exams, recently including The Perse, Heritage, The Stephen Perse, The Leys and St Mary’s.

I am experienced teaching children with a range of special educational needs, including pupils with Dyslexia, pupils with ADHD, pupils with mild-severe learning difficulties, and pupils on the Autistic Spectrum. I also have experience teaching children with a range of mental health needs and children with English as an additional language.

Tutoring Approach

I believe that every child learns differently and therefore I take a very individualistic approach to tutoring, determining what type of learning the child will benefit from. I find that practice and confidence are key for most pupils, and so I focus on getting pupils really secure in a topic before moving on. This is especially key for SATs practice or entrance exams, in which it is very much about learning the style of the test. I like to work alongside a child's school in order to support their learning in the way which will the child will benefit from the most.

Thank you for looking at my page and I look forward to hearing from you!
