Hi, I'm Louise and I've been a teacher in Milton Keynes for over 30 years. I am married with two grown up children and live in the north of the city. I love gardening, walking and going away in my campervan! Over the years I have had my own little tutoring business and now that I am working part-time, doing supply work, I've decided to restart it.

I have been teaching a long time! Infact, over 30 years in Milton Keynes primary schools, across a range of year groups. My expertise lies in key stage 2, particularly years 5 and 6. I have managed year groups and lead initiatives in schools, but overall, the teaching always comes first. I have extensive knowledge of the national curriculum, so I understand how to provide key learning goals for English and Maths. Over the years I have been involved in administering and managing SATS week, and of course preparing children for it. One of the most rewarding roles I had was tutoring in a local primary school for a year. My job was to work with pupils to build up their confidence in maths and English in preparation for SATS and to provide challenges for those who needed to move on more quickly.

Having tutored before, I know how valuable it is for children of all abilities. I particularly enjoy the one to one relationship that is created through this process. It allows me to build confidence in children who have gaps in their knowledge and make sure they're filled, but also to offer more challenging learning, for others. I use a variety of methods to bring out the best in my students - games, written exercises, SATS papers, tech. The most important thing for me is that your child receives a positive, fun and productive experience.
