**International Experience**
Working in top-tier international schools in Thailand, China, and Myanmar has given me valuable experience teaching children from diverse cultural backgrounds. I share the high aspirations of such families and aim to help every child achieve their full potential. My international experience means I have taught many children for whom English is an Additional Language so I am particularly experienced in this area. I am happy to tutor children from the UK or anywhere internationally.

**Teaching Style**My approach is tailored to each child’s unique needs. I believe in creating a safe, engaging, and supportive learning environment where students feel confident to ask questions, make mistakes, and progress. My lessons are interactive, combining discussion, practice, and real-world connections to help children stay motivated and enjoy their learning.
I carefully scaffold learning to balance guidance and independence, integrating technology to enhance engagement and make learning fun. I provide regular feedback to parents, ensuring clear communication about progress and next steps.
