About Mavis
Why Choose Me as Your Academic Support Tutor?
Is your child struggling academically, falling behind in class, or simply capable of achieving more? I can help unlock their potential.
As an experienced primary school educator with over 16 years of professional teaching experience, I offer personalised academic support designed around each learner’s abilities, needs and goals. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Primary Education and am currently completing a Master’s degree in Education specialising in Curriculum Design, Development and Instruction.
I offer support in English Reading and Comprehension, Phonics, Mathematics, Cambridge curriculum preparation, Homework Support, Exam Preparation, Study Skills and Remedial Learning. My lessons are structured, engaging and practical, combining clear explanations, guided practice, questioning, targeted activities and continuous assessment to identify learning gaps and build confidence.
For learners who need additional support, I provide patient, focused remedial instruction that helps them strengthen foundational skills, overcome difficulties and make meaningful academic progress. For learners preparing for examinations, I focus on understanding, application, revision strategies and building the confidence needed to perform at their best.
I also offer curriculum and lesson-planning support for teachers, drawing on my extensive classroom and curriculum experience to help educators develop purposeful, well-structured and learner-centred lessons. My approach is simple: understand the learner, identify the gap, provide the right support, and build measurable progress.
Whether your child needs help catching up, staying on track, preparing for Cambridge assessments, improving examination performance, or developing stronger independent study habits, you are not simply hiring a tutor—you are investing in experienced educational guidance tailored to your learner. Let’s turn academic challenges into confidence, progress and achievement.
