I’m a UK-born native English speaker and qualified primary teacher with over 14 years of classroom experience across London, Hong Kong, and mainland China. I’ve specialised in preparing children for SATs, teaching systematic phonics, and delivering engaging lessons across the full primary curriculum.
My teaching methodology is child-centred and results-driven. I use systematic synthetic phonics — breaking words into individual sounds, blending them to build confident readers — exactly as taught in top UK schools. For SATs and all primary subjects, I combine clear modelling, interactive games, targeted practice with past papers, and plenty of praise to keep children motivated and stress-free. Every session is tailored to your child’s gaps and strengths so they make fast, visible progress.
