As a Teacher and Assistant Headteacher I’ve worked with children and their parents to help them become happy and successful. It’s been a passion of mine that’s continued.
I originally trained as an EFL (English Foreign Language) Teacher in Prague, teaching young children and teenagers both in the UK and abroad. Later I trained as a Primary School Teacher and taught in schools for many years. I absolutely loved helping children to learn, not just academically but also in terms of their social and emotional development.
Having seen first-hand the worries, challenges and anxieties that children can have, both in and out of school, I am committed to helping them overcome these and become happy, resilient and confident in who they are and what they are capable of.
With younger children the involvement of parents/carers is vital.
I help children, teenagers (and their parents) with:
- Social anxiety
- Confidence
- Shyness
- Fitting in
- Worries about SATS/Tests/Exams
- Friendships
- Difficulties in certain lessons/subjects
- Starting school
- Moving up a year
- Changing school
- Developing a ‘Growth Mindset’ (ask me how this can make a huge difference to your child!)
- Social media: how they portray themselves, how others see them, their reaction to being on there and seeing others on there, negative feedback from others
