Looking for a English & maths tutor for a 4yr old - 1hr Saturdays


Recommended Posts

Hi there

My son Latrell started reception September last year and he is doing well except for he's behind with phonics/spelling and maths.


He's 5yrs old April the 30th


I'm looking for a tutor which can come in for an 1hr on a Saturday and do some work with him.

Must speak very good English, have experience with children his age, can be firm but fair and has patients.


If you think you can help or have any suggestions please do dm me with Abit about yourself and prices.


Kind regards

Stacey

Dear Stacey


I am a qualified primary teacher and would be very keen to tutor your child and help him with his phonics and maths. Last year I taught Year 1 and helped them all pass the phonics check at the end of the year. I am really familiar with various different fun ways of teaching phonics using interactive apps, songs and games. I have tutored in my spare time before but now that I have two children myself, time is a little more precious! I teach at a school between Clapham and Steatham where there are many children who may not have English as a first language (EAL) or have various special needs. I understand that children learn in different ways and should be able to adapt my style to suit your child. It would be lovely to know more specifically what your child knows already. For example, does he know all his letter sounds? Which ones does he struggle with? What do you think his barriers to learning are?


My rates are ?40 an hour and ideally I would be able to tutor early in the morning before 10am.


If you think this is something you might be interested in, do let me know. I am based in East Dulwich but could travel to your home.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?

Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
