About Maj
My name is Maj, I am a primary-focused educator with many years of experience in private tuition. I have a passion for teaching and a proven track record of improving the confidence and abilities of primary school children. Throughout my career, I have worked with a diverse range of students, each with their own unique learning needs and challenges. I understand the importance of creating personalised lesson plans that cater to each student's individual learning style and needs. I have developed engaging and interactive activities that help students grasp difficult concepts and increase their confidence in their abilities. I am proud of my ability to monitor progress and provide regular feedback to students and parents to ensure continuous improvement. I communicate effectively with parents to provide updates on their child's progress and to discuss strategies to support their learning at home. I foster a positive and supportive learning environment that encourages curiosity and creativity, and I encourage students to take responsibility for their learning and help them develop good study habits. In addition to my qualifications and experience, I am committed to ongoing professional development. I stay up-to-date with the latest teaching techniques and materials and am always looking for new ways to improve my teaching and help my students succeed.

As a qualified primary school teacher with over 7 years' experience in tutoring, my teaching methods are grounded in a child-centred approach that emphasises the importance of catering to individual learning needs. I believe that each child is unique, with their own strengths and challenges, and that it is essential to understand these factors to tailor my teaching methods to meet their specific needs. In my English tutoring sessions, I prioritise the development of reading and writing skills, including creative writing and phonemic awareness for younger children. I understand the fundamental importance of these skills in academic and personal development and strive to make each session interactive, engaging, and enjoyable for my students. I use a range of techniques to keep my lessons fresh, including games, exercises, and interactive learning resources. In my teaching, I am committed to providing a supportive and nurturing learning environment. I recognise that building a strong relationship with my students is essential, and I work to create a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere that encourages them to share their thoughts and ideas freely. I am patient and understanding, always ready to offer guidance and support to help my students succeed. I recognise the importance of ongoing assessment and feedback to help students improve their skills continually. I use a range of assessment techniques, including formative assessments and regular feedback, to monitor progress and adjust my teaching strategies accordingly.

I can't recommend Maj highly enough. She has blossomed from a young live-in English tutor /au-pair while travelling abroad to the fully rounded and formidable teaching professional she is today. The wonderful thing about Maj is how she easily builds rapport and trust among children under her tutelage. I have been very impressed with how she was quickly able to engage with the children at our charity school in Africa when she volunteered there a few years ago. I was also impressed by the lasting impact she made. Both the teachers and pupils greatly benefited from her input. Maj is dedicated and committed and excellent at what she does. She will surely be an asset anywhere she is placed to tutor young minds.
Our son, Ollie, started maths tuition with Maj in January 2022. After the lockdown, he found school maths lessons hard to follow and struggled to do his homework and the mock SATs. However, after just a few weeks of working with Maj, he was much more confident and his work at school greatly improved. Ollie always says Maj has a way of explaining things that makes them easy to understand. He always enjoyed Maj's lessons and was looking forward to them. Even after passing his SAT, Ollie wanted to continue the lessons "because they are fun". Maj has not only helped Ollie get to the level he needs to be to move on to secondary school, but she has taught him to enjoy maths. Maj is a fantastic tutor, and we will have no hesitation in recommending her.
Again, many thanks for all you have done for Ollie. We really appreciate it.See more recommendations
