About Me
Hi, I’m Kate, and I’m passionate about helping children thrive through holistic education and emotional support. With over a decade of experience working with children of all ages, I bring a nurturing approach to learning that focuses on building confidence, resilience and a lifelong love of learning.
I hold a Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) from University College London and a postgraduate qualification in Child and Adolescent Counselling from the University of Cambridge. These qualifications, combined with my hands-on experience as a tutor and governess for families worldwide, have given me a deep understanding of child development and the tools to support children academically and emotionally.
I specialise in helping children grow through personalised, play-based learning strategies for younger children and tailored tuition for older learners. Whether preparing for exams, bridging gaps in understanding or nurturing emotional resilience, I approach every child as a whole person with unique strengths and needs.
My Approach
At the heart of my work is a commitment to the holistic development of every child. I believe that learning is about more than just academic success – it’s about fostering confidence, resilience, curiosity and emotional wellbeing. That’s why my approach focuses on supporting children as whole individuals, nurturing not only their intellect but also their social, emotional and physical development.
Every child is unique, and I take the time to understand their specific strengths, challenges and learning styles. I use this understanding to design personalised learning experiences that empower children to thrive while ensuring they align with the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) and British Curriculum. Whether through play-based activities for younger learners or tailored tuition for older students, I create a supportive, engaging environment where children feel safe to explore, make mistakes and grow.
I draw on proven educational practices and the latest research in child development to help children flourish both academically and personally. By combining targeted skill-building with opportunities for creative expression, problem-solving and emotional growth, I aim to instill a lifelong love for learning and the confidence to face challenges with curiosity and determination.
Through this approach, I not only help children achieve their academic goals but also equip them with the tools they need to succeed in every aspect of their lives.
