About Shakela
Hello! My name is Shakela and I am a qualified teacher in the UK. I have over 5 years of experience teaching in UK primary schools, hold a QTS certificate and have a 1st Class BA Honours degree in Creative Writing. I am experienced with teaching a whole range of primary school subjects, and raising the attainment and confidence of pupils. I am currently tutoring students online and in person, including tutoring people in speaking English. Before I got into primary education, I did more hands on teaching through Lego classes and workshops.
I grew up in the bustling city of London, which I am very fond of! In my spare time, I love writing poetry and prose for my blog. I hope to one day publish books in the future! I also love to go to the theatre, concerts and watching F1 racing.

I am trained to teach in accordance to the National Curriculum and also have a degree in Creative Writing. As English can be a "tricky" subject for some, I will work with pupils to break down various rules and structures of writing. I will provide access to a range of useful, age-appropriate vocabulary that pupils can use in their work and widen their own vocabulary pool. Pupils can learn how to use grammar, spelling and punctuation by trying different activities, such as quizzes, highlighting texts and correcting mistakes in example texts. For improving reading and comprehension, I can prepare fluency tasks and teach pupils how to answer the different questions type found in tests.
For those who want a lesson that is more creative writing based, I will prepare some activities based on the above, as well as writing tasks and games to help you produce a portfolio of different works. This will be a calm and nice space for pupils to be creative and reflective, and improve their practice.
Each lesson is 1 hour.
I have DBS certificate.

I have worked with Shakela in a school. As a fellow colleague and a parent I can say that she has remarkable teaching qualities. She was a favourite teacher among both my children and has made her lessons exciting.
Her communication skills are outstanding and uses a variety of strategies to make her teaching more enjoyable and effective.
I would highly recommend Shakela as a good teaching mentor for your child.
MeenakshiShakela is an amazing teacher. I have known Shakela for more than 5 years and have had the opportunity to work with her. I can confidently say that she has made a difference in students lives. She is meticulous in her planning and delivery of lessons. She adopts teaching strategies that are understood by students. She is a fabulous speaker and a good creative writer. I have no reservations about recommending Shakela for any position that requires hard work, initiative, loyalty, and dedication.
Mrs. Josephine MenezesI've worked with Shakela for 3.5 years and she is great, when working with her in a Primary School in West London. She is very diligent, very caring and likes to make things fun. I would certainly recommend her for tutoring work. Shakela has a broad range of skills, which makes her an easy person to get on with. She's also had some writing published - so she know's what she's talking about.
