Meet the tutors

This year, I am combining both working in the classroom and tutoring. I’m a qualified primary school teacher working predominantly in Key Stage 2. I enjoy teaching all subjects, but my favourite has to be maths (I have a degree in Banking, Finance and Management). I have two young children and two kittens!

I am a primary trained teacher and enjoy working with all ages from Key Stage 1 to Key Stage 3. I’ve always enjoyed working with children and seeing them develop their confidence when learning new skills. I enjoy reading, love a good crossword and spend the majority of my free time with my pets. If a child is finding school difficult I have always found a quote by A.A. Milne to be helpful; 'You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think’.

I am a qualified teacher and have worked as a tutor for Kip McGrath for the last two years. I particularly enjoy teaching English and took a degree in English Literature at University. I love being out in my garden and grow my own vegetables. I also enjoy travelling, particularly to hot countries.

I have worked at Kip McGrath over a year now and it is a wonderful place to be. I am a teacher and have been for over 10 years. I have three children. I am passionate about reading books and sharing this joy with the children I work with. The best thing I always tell the children about Kip is that we can work through things together, at your own pace and sometimes I will even tell you the answer – learning does not have to be scary.

I loved the classroom but left my role as a primary school teacher to have children and now do my tutoring work around them. Although I have taught all age groups I mainly tutor upper Key Stage 2 level and really enjoy it. I have a degree in dance, a dog called Olive, and I love a kitchen disco!
