My name is Mrs. Kaye. I am an experienced and fully qualified primary / elementary school teacher. I teach mainly 1:1 math, English language) and reading. I also teach 7 plus, 11 plus, NAPLAN (Australia) and UK Year SATs prep as well as helping US students prepare for grade assessments up to grade 6. I am a fully qualified teacher and I now live in the United States.
If you do not see a time below, please reach out and I will try to find some dates, there is also an option of a waiting list for popular slots.
I have worked with London borough initiatives to help learners accomplish their very best and set them up for future success in their academic careers.
I am very keen for students to reach their goals and develop confidence in math, all aspects of English, science, and various topics. I am passionate about teaching and very good at what I do. I believe in making all areas of the curriculum accessible for children. I endeavor to make learning fun and accessible. I also have a lot of experience with different levels of learners at multiple stages of language acquisition, from fluent native English speakers to those learning English as an additional language.
Another area of expertise is to support children in the dreaded test taking process. Quizzes and assessments can be daunting for young learners, I can help with making tests more familiar and help your learner gain experience and explore techniques to be a better test taker.
At the end of each lesson, there is the option to send you feedback about your child’s participation to help you see areas of achievement and next steps. Feel free to message me if you have any questions.
I look forward to meeting you.
