About Katherine
About Me I’m a qualified teacher with over 15 years’ experience across KS1–KS5. I specialise in supporting students with Special Educational Needs, including ADHD, autism, and sensory sensitivities. I create a calm, responsive space where learners can explore ideas and build confidence in their own way. I also bring a deep understanding of how gender, class, and neurodiversity can shape learning experiences — and I always work from a strengths-based, person-centred approach. ⸻ Who I Teach • Primary to A-Level students (KS1–KS5) • Neurodivergent learners who benefit from flexible, sensitive teaching • Students needing exam preparation, coursework support, or confidence-building

About the Lesson Typical lessons are 60 minutes and fully tailored to individual needs. I adapt pacing, content, and delivery style to suit each student — especially those who are neurodivergent or need extra support with focus, confidence, or executive functioning. I offer subject support in: • English Language & Literature (KS1–KS5) • Media & Film Studies • Religious Education / Philosophy & Ethics • Subjects related to Social Policy / Society Whether you’re revising for GCSEs or A-Levels, catching up on reading skills in KS2, or exploring essay writing and analytical thinking at any age, I’m here to help you thrive.

When our son began tutoring, he was significantly underperforming in English – scoring just a 1 and an ungraded paper in his November PPEs. From the very first session, it was clear his tutor recognised his potential. She quickly tailored a dynamic, engaging approach that moved away from the routine of the classroom. Her sessions combined short recaps, new learning, interactive games to build language skills, and clear modelling of exam techniques. Crucially, she involved him in his own learning, listening to what he felt he needed. The impact was immediate: by February, he had achieved two grade 4s in his English PPEs. We couldn’t be more grateful.”
I worked with Katherine previously training apprentices. She is a total professional and excels at her job. She puts in 100% and is a pleasure to work with. She is a great communicator and brings out the best in the people she works with. I would recommend Katherine.
Katherine was a fantastic tutor and got my son through his English GCSEs.
Katherine was really engaging and found different ways to support and encourage Levi.
By the time we got to exams he felt confident that he would pass and couldn’t wait to share his news with Katherine once he got his results.
Forever grateful for getting Levi the grades he needed.
He also seemed to learn more in that time with Katherine than he ever could at school as he found it harder to concentrate in a group setting.
Thank you again, highly recommend to anyone!
