Tutor Your Child began as a way of supporting parents to not only understand the maths and English curriculum content for each primary school year, but also to increase understanding of how children were being taught within school, so parents could use these same strategies to support their children at home.
We know first-hand the effect that “falling behind” can have on have on children. We have seen how this can impact their mental health and emotional well-being. This drives our core aim:
Catch them, before they fall…
As teachers and leaders of education, we are passionate about giving children the very best opportunities so that they can feel confident in their learning and proud of their progress. By supporting our children today we are investing in future scientists, mathematicians, accountants, teachers… the world really is their oyster!
At ‘Tutor Your Child’ we offer a variety of tutoring options and well-being support to children from Reception to Year 6. We understand that private tutoring can be costly and we therefore want to remove this barrier, offering our services at a much lower cost so that parents can support their children at home and keep them on track. Why? Because all children deserve a chance to shine.
Our programmes are already helping families across the UK and we hope that they will support you too. Each programme is designed to be completed in small, manageable steps, in the comfort of your own home, so please do take a look and read our testimonials from those who have already been involved in our programmes

I trained as a primary teacher 13 years ago following a very different career in banking.
After 8 years working as a class teacher and English subject leader, I left my full-time job to become a professional tutor and I continued to grow my tutoring business into a full-time job.
One of my main passions is children’s mental health and I believe teaching is so much more than learning; it’s about nurturing children to believe in themselves and helping them to achieve the confidence to try new things and challenge themselves. The job of a teacher is a privilege and how we shape children’s lives and learning will hopefully stay with them for the rest of their lives.
We believe that, through ‘Tutor Your Child’, we can empower parents to help their own children achieve and be part of their learning journey.

I qualified as Primary Teacher in 2001 and have have enjoyed teaching in Kent and Sussex schools since this time, developing my skills and sharing my expertise. Teaching really is a privilege and I love watching children grow and develop in so many ways. This human flourishing means everything to me and when children are taught with kindness and real care, it is a joy to watch them soar.
Although I started my career in education as a Class Teacher, I have always enjoyed a challenge! I stepped into the role of Deputy Headteacher in 2011 and completed my National Professional Qualification for Headship in 2014. I was then very fortunate to be appointed as Headteacher at a lovely village school in Sevenoaks, until April 2024.
I am passionate about supporting well-being, and developing trauma informed approaches so that all children can shine. I’m delighted to be a small part of the excellent service that “Tutor Your Child” are delivering.
