About Olivia
Hello! My name is Olivia, and I am a PGCE-trained educator with experience teaching primary-aged children in both public and international school settings.
Over the past several years, I have worked with learners from a wide range of cultural and linguistic backgrounds, helping them develop confidence and success in English. My experience includes teaching in international schools, supporting English language learners, and working as a Teaching Assistant in UK primary schools. These experiences have given me a strong understanding of how to adapt lessons to meet the needs of individual children.
I am passionate about helping pupils become confident readers, writers and communicators. I particularly enjoy teaching reading comprehension through the VIPERS framework, as well as Grammar, Punctuation and Spelling (SPaG), and preparing pupils for KS1 and KS2 SATs.
I believe that children make the best progress when they feel supported, challenged and encouraged. My aim is to create a positive learning environment where pupils can build confidence, develop key skills and enjoy learning.

My lessons are designed for primary-aged pupils in KS1 and KS2 who would like to improve their English skills, build confidence, or prepare for Year 2 and Year 6 SATs.
I am a PGCE-trained educator with experience working as a Teaching Assistant in UK primary schools and teaching children internationally. I understand that every child learns differently, so I tailor lessons to suit each pupil's individual strengths, needs and learning style.
I specialise in reading comprehension through the VIPERS framework (Vocabulary, Inference, Prediction, Explanation, Retrieval and Summarising) as well as Grammar, Punctuation and Spelling (SPaG). Lessons are engaging, interactive and structured to help children make steady progress while enjoying learning.
A typical lesson lasts 45-60 minutes and may include reading activities, SATs-style questions, vocabulary work, grammar practice, and confidence-building exercises. I regularly assess progress and adapt lessons to ensure pupils are challenged and supported at the right level.
Whether your child needs extra support, targeted SATs preparation, or an opportunity to strengthen their English skills, I aim to create a positive learning environment where they can grow in confidence and achieve their full potential.

Olivia is a fabulous teacher; she’s patient, understanding, adaptable, and trustworthy. Olivia puts information across in a way you can easily understand and keep pace with. She has a calming, positive nature and communicates clearly. Olivia is a wonderful person who is great at her job. I’m visually impaired, and Olivia put me at ease straight away; she is very inclusive. I built confidence and trust with her very quickly, as Olivia is such a warm and friendly person. I couldn’t recommend her enough.
I’ve known Olivia over a number of years and she has gained substantial knowledge in a wide range of educational settings across the world. She has worked hard to continually develop and further improve her teaching skills. She is person centred and supports people to learn in a way that enhances their learning experience. Olivia genuinely cares about her students and works to create meaningful discussions and learning opportunities. Would definitely recommend Olivia as she is friendly, patient and truly supportive.
Firstly, let me start by saying that I highly recommend Olivia as your tutor, she is a kind, compassionate and dedicated teacher, who always puts the needs of her students first, and strives to meet each individual's wants and needs throughout their learning journey!
Being married to Olivia, I may be a little bit biased, but that shouldn't take away from the fact that Olivia is an excellent tutor. We first moved to China in 2018, and she has been heavily involved in teaching ever since, both online and offline, gaining valuable teaching experience and methodology along the way!
As well as China, we worked in Vietnam and South Korea too, so Olivia has an abundance of cultural understanding across Asia, and applies that to her teaching method, which I would describe as fun yet focused. She has a very clear voice too, which is perfect for beginners to understand!
If you are looking for a tutor that has great patience and devotion to delivering high quality lessons, expertly presented in an exiting and easily digestible way, then look no further, Olivia is the tutor for you!I’ve known Olivia for 25 years, she is friendly, reliable, trustworthy, dedicated and engaging.
