Personal Description: I am a qualified primary School teacher (3-11 years). I live in Hertfordshire where I also teach.
Tutoring Experience: I have been teaching for 7 years both in the UK and abroad in a British School. I have taught children from Reception to Year 6. I tutor in my home and will also travel to a tutee.
Tutoring Approach: Tutoring should be a very individual experience. I aim to make sure each session suits the child's style of learning. After a long day at school a session with a tutor should be interesting, fun and motivating. I also make sure I am pacing the learning at the right speed. Some children will pick up new concepts quickly others will need lots of practise. I am passionate about children reaching their full potential, some children just need a little extra help getting there.
From Fiona Sweeney (5/5): Jo has given my daughter Poppy a good head start for year 3 with Maths. Poppy lacked the confidence to ask for help and to give an answer - Jo has made this task a lot easier for her. I am very happy with Jo!
