Hi, I'm Laura!
My passion for education started almost 20 years ago whilst studying the performing arts. I observed how interactive workshops could benefit children's social, oral and literacy skills. After experience in SEND education, I completed a PGCE in Primary Education from the University of Brighton in 2019. Upon graduating, I moved to Brussels, Belgium to work in a British international school. I currently reside in Belgium and have since gained experience working in an IB school, as well as a Cambridge International School.
My approach to teaching is fun, engaging and interactive. I usually begin a lesson with a game to assess previous learning, and make students feel enthusiastic and involved. Each area of learning will be broken down and put into practice.
I can help your child progress in their reading and writing journey through phonics lessons. Whether they are a complete beginner, an ESL learner, or just require a little extra practice, my experience working with schemes including Jolly Phonics, Read, Write Inc., and Twinkl phonics means that I can adapt my methods to suit your child.
I use a range of online platforms and visual materials to support mathematics learning, ensuring that pupils have a visual representation of methods.
I offer Primary age classes in:
• Phonics
• Reading
• Writing (including creative writing)
• Spelling
• Grammar
• Mathematics
• Mental Mathematics
• Science
• Preparation for Year 6 SATS
I also offer Secondary age classed in English Literature and English Language covering the British and Cambridge Curriculums up to age 18+.
