About Sophie
Hello! I'm Sophie, a passionate UK teacher with over 10 years of experience working with primary school children. I’ve taught in both mainstream and alternative school settings in the UK and internationally, and I currently live and teach in Indonesia. I hold a BA (Hons) in Learning and Teaching from the University of Northampton in the UK and I have completed training in Read Write Inc., Jolly Phonics, Relax Kids mindfulness programme and intro to Neurodiversity. My teaching style blends structured early literacy with creativity, play, and emotional development — making lessons both engaging and meaningful. I have a strong background in supporting children learning English as a second language, and I love helping them build confidence in a calm, nurturing space. I also work well with homeschooling families and learners who thrive with a flexible, child-led approach. I believe deeply in empowering children to take ownership of their learning. I encourage independence, curiosity, and critical thinking through hands-on projects and creative tasks. Whether I'm helping a child take their first steps into reading or guiding a young writer through a storytelling adventure, my aim is to build skills, confidence, and a lifelong love of learning. I would love to support your child’s growth through lessons that are joyful, personalised, and designed to spark wonder and self-belief.

As an experienced primary school teacher, teaching in both the UK and Indonesia, my lessons are designed to be creative, engaging, and tailored to each individual child. I specialise in working with learners aged 4 to 10, including both native English speakers and children learning English as a second language. My approach is child-centred and playful, placing equal importance on emotional wellbeing and academic growth. Each lesson is structured around the student’s interests and developmental stage. A typical session might begin with a warm-up game or mindfulness moment, followed by a focus on a specific skill such as phonics, creative writing, or comprehension. We might then explore the topic through a short story, drawing activity, project-based task, or game, finishing with a reflection or mini sharing session to build confidence and communication skills. The aim of my lessons is for my students to have fun and to genuinely enjoy learning! I draw on trusted teaching methods, such as Read Write Inc. phonics scheme, but adapt these creatively to suit the child's learning style. What sets me apart is my ability to make lessons feel fun, meaningful, and personal — children feel seen, heard, and excited to learn. These lessons are ideal for: Early years and primary students Children learning English as an additional language Homeschoolers or families looking for a gentle, creative learning boost Students who benefit from a flexible, nurturing, and project-based approach

Sophie has been an incredible tutor for my child for over a year. What really stood out was how she adapted the lessons to my child’s individual pace and learning style. My child felt truly involved in their own learning journey, which made all the difference – they not only made great progress but genuinely enjoyed the experience. Sophie’s thoughtful, patient, and encouraging approach created a positive and supportive learning environment. We’re so grateful for everything she’s done!
Sophie is a very professional, interesting teacher.
I am a mother of two who goes to the 2nd and 3rd grades of an international elementary school.
I think children at this age need a systematic and positive teacher, and for children who do not speak English as their first language, which teacher and how to teach is a very important part of improving their English skills.
Sophie explains and helps children understand the same topic in a variety of ways according to their English levels. (Playing games by herself + using tools + explaining using space, etc.) It helps them focus on their classes perfectly.
Sophie always remembers her bright speech, expression, and encouragement. It is a very important part for an learner.
Sophie always gives good feedback before and after class, and if you have any questions or concerns, you don't hesitate to consult with her and suggest a better plan.
I am well aware that it is very difficult to choose a good teacher when it comes to learning English.
But with Sophie, it will all go away like snow!Sophie is an amazing teacher/tutor!
She has an incredible ability to connect with my son and communicate ideas with him in a fresh way that makes him excited to learn. Highly recommend Sophie!! She’s the bestSee more recommendations
