About Kristy

I have a Bachelor of Education from RMIT, Melbourne, and a Master's in Literacy Learning and Literacy Difficulties from University College London’s Institute of Education, U.K. The Institute ranked number one for education worldwide in the 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020 QS World University Rankings. I specialize in teaching and supporting learners with difficulties in English including phonics, reading, writing and speaking and listening. I have taught in mainstream, special needs and home schools both in Australia and the U.K. I have designed and written bespoke, holistic learner-specific curricula for special needs schools and home schools. I am a dedicated, knowledgeable and professional teacher who will provide targeted, tailored learning plans and one-to-one teaching that engages children in learning in the manner that best suits their needs.

About the lesson

My sessions always start with the learner and his/her strengths in order to build confidence and self-esteem. I discuss goals with the learner and parents, assess to check for any missing gaps and then carefully plan and design activities that build upon knowledge. I employ a range of teaching strategies including multi-sensory learning and practical-based sessions that are fun and engaging. This allows children to really understand what they are learning and why, and the relationships between new facts and previous learning. Concepts that are deemed 'too difficult' at school are broken down into small manageable steps in order for students to gain a sense of achievement. I embed phonics teaching within a broad literacy approach that encompasses automatic word recognition, comprehension strategies, work on fluency and vocabulary learning and emphasizes reading for meaning. Students are then given time and support to apply their new skills to independent reading and writing. Writing sessions might involve work on the parts of a sentence, sentence structure, vocabulary learning to upscale writing, creative writing sessions, punctuation and grammar. I believe that developing a good relationship with students is paramount to their success. Therefore I aim to create a happy, safe and nurturing environment where students feel valued and inspired to learn. I believe that warm, approachable, patient and understanding teachers give students the confidence to thrive. To learn more, visit me at (concealed information)

If a lesson needs to be cancelled, contact me to make suitable arrangements at least one week in advance. I will make every effort to rearrange that lesson, but I am not obliged to do this if it is not possible. I understand that changes have to be made sometimes due to illness and unforeseen circumstances. I ask that you please let us know of any changes as soon as possible. If a lesson is cancelled within 24 hours of the lesson (excluding weekends and bank holidays), you will need to pay for the missed lesson.
