Class Experience

US Grade Kindergarten
An primary professional teacher will guide your child to build their Literacy skills. We can work on their phonics, reading, writing or spelling depending on your childโ€™s needs. Classes will be personalised towards the needs of your child and any areas they need to build their confidence with. 

The teacher will communicate with parents before meeting your little ones in class to find out more about your child and their learning needs. I am passionate to help your child to build their confidence and achieve any learning goals they are working towards. 

Phonics support: An example of a phonics class is that we will practise  recognition of letters and sounds including digraphs and phonics blends. 

Children will learn to sound out and read words using fun games such as I spy, pirate phonics or alien words. We will also learn sight words that your child is working on. 

Reading/Writing support: 
Your child will be supported with their reading fluency and comprehension skills as we work through reading part of a story or a reading comprehension together. Your child will be encouraged to talk about what they have read to demonstrate understanding. 

We can practise writing simple sentences together and work on sentence structure. 

Teaching will be broken down into manageable sections and the teacher will personalise your childโ€™s learning to meet their interests and needs. 

I am really looking forward to meeting your little ones and helping them to grow in confidence. 

Refund policy important information: 

If a student is more than 10 minutes late, it will be considered a missed class, per Outschool policy and the class is not eligible for a refund. If the student needs to cancel class, I will reschedule if possible or issue a refund, as long as I am notified more than 24 hours in advance. Exceptions may be made in emergency situations. 

If I as a teacher have a scheduling conflict, I will either contact you to reschedule for a different time or issue a refund.

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello everyone! My name is Catherine and I am an experienced primary school teacher from the UK. I have a BA Honours degree in Structured Textiles and a PGCE degree in Primary Education. For the last 7 years I have been a certified teacher of early years education.

I currently teach part time in a primary school. During the rest of the week I teach here on Outschool. 

I am up to date with the current curriculum requirements and I have extensive experience of teaching synthetic phonics, mathematics and mindfulness lessons using a scheme called Mind Up in my Primary School. 

I absolutely love teaching on this platform and having the opportunity to meet young learners from all over the world. It is my passion to provide fun and engaging learning opportunities whilst helping children to grow in confidence and believe in themselves. 

I offer a caring and welcoming learning environment where I help children to feel happy and safe. I am a motivated, enthusiastic and loving teacher who will help your child to grow in confidence whilst having fun learning new things.

My specialism is teaching literacy through synthetic phonics and I am excited to offer a variety of fun phonics lessons in which children can become secure in recognising letters and their sounds. Children will use multi sensory approaches to learn phonics through exciting games and learning activities. 

I love spending time outdoors and visiting new places with my family. I am a Mum to a toddler who is turning 3 this year. She loves exploring the world around her and it is beautiful to see her excitement as she is learning about her world. 

I am so excited to meet your little ones! Please take a look at the range of classes I offer. I offer both group and individual classes and I am flexible to schedule requests. I look forward to hearing from you soon and meeting your little one. ๐Ÿฅฐ
