About Lauren
I help young learners build strong literacy and Maths foundations while growing in confidence. I am a qualified Foundation Phase teacher with over 8 years of classroom experience, and I currently teach Grade 2. I am passionate about helping young learners build strong foundations in literacy and Mathematics. I particularly enjoy supporting learners who may be struggling with reading, phonics, spelling or foundational literacy gaps, while helping them build confidence in their abilities. I have experience supporting neurodiverse learners and take a calm, patient and supportive approach, creating a space where children feel safe, encouraged and confident to learn. I have a strong understanding of the South African CAPS curriculum and experience working across the Foundation Phase. I am also familiar with Montessori and Waldorf approaches and believe there is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to learning. My goal is to support each child in a way that builds both skills and confidence, helping them feel proud of their progress. Outside of teaching, I enjoy running, swimming and reading, which reflects my love for learning and personal growth.

My lessons are structured, engaging and tailored to each learner’s individual needs. I focus on building strong foundations in early literacy, including phonics, blending, reading intervention, reading fluency, spelling and comprehension, as well as supporting key Foundation Phase Maths concepts such as number sense and problem-solving.
Each lesson includes a combination of clear, step-by-step teaching, guided practice, interactive activities to keep learners engaged, opportunities for revision and reinforcement.
I adjust the pace and approach depending on the learner, ensuring they feel supported while still being gently extended. Lessons are suitable for learners in Grades R to 4, including those who may need extra support, confidence-building or additional practice outside the classroom. I work with a limited number of learners to ensure each child receives the attention they need. My aim is not only to improve academic skills, but also to help learners become more confident, independent and positive about their learning. I keep parents informed and provide simple strategies and optional home packs to reinforce learning.

I honestly can’t thank you enough for all the help you’ve given me. Your patience and the way you explain things made such a big difference, especially when I was struggling to understand certain topics. You never made me feel rushed or judged, and that really helped me gain confidence in myself.
What I appreciated most is how you didn’t just give me answers, but actually helped me understand the work properly. You have a way of breaking things down so they actually make sense, which isn’t something everyone can doLauren has been an absolute lifesaver for our family. She regularly helps with our children’s foundation phase homework, and her ability to break down what is actually being asked (for both kids and parents!) has made a huge difference.
She has a calm, patient teaching style and explains concepts in a way that builds confidence rather than overwhelm. What used to be a stressful part of our evenings has become so much more manageable thanks to her guidance.
Lauren is not only knowledgeable but incredibly supportive and encouraging. I would highly recommend her to any parent looking for someone who truly understands how to work with young learners and make the process easier for the whole family.1. Homework advice, support, cue card study note maker
2. It is easy to understand and always thinking outside the box to provide fun ways of learning.
3. Explaining things that my child and I understand easily.I’ve really appreciated Lauren’s supportive and nurturing approach towards her students. As a mom of an 8-year-old who is still finding his place in school, it means a lot to see a teacher who is so passionate about what she does. Lauren creates an environment where young learners feel confident and believe in themselves and their capabilities.
As a parent who needs support with supporting my foundation phase child, I’ve seen firsthand the positive impact Lauren has on young learners through her online tutoring. She has a wonderful ability to connect with children and create a supportive, engaging environment where they feel comfortable to participate and try their best.
Lauren is patient, encouraging, and genuinely invested in helping each child build confidence in their abilities. She celebrates progress and supports students through challenges, making learning feel both achievable and enjoyable.
Any child would be fortunate to learn with Lauren. She not only teaches important skills but also helps children believe in themselves.View more recommendations
