About Me
My name is Emma, and I am a qualified primary teacher with over 12 years of experience. I have taught every curriculum subject across all primary year groups and have developed particular expertise in supporting children who are new to English or have English as an Additional Language (EAL). I have received specialist training in helping EAL learners learn to read and build essential vocabulary. I also have extensive experience working with children with Special Educational Needs (SEN).
I have been tutoring for five years and, in July 2024, I launched my own tuition business to focus fully on supporting children outside the classroom. I work with a wide range of learners, offering high-quality, tailored sessions to meet individual needs—whether a child needs help catching up, stretching further or preparing for an exam such as 11+ and SATs.
I have a special interest in how children and adults learn to read and I have significant experience teaching, tutoring, and administering the Year 1 Phonics Screening Check and Year 2 SATs. I have also worked as a Year 6 SATs SPaG marker, giving me valuable insight into how these assessments are structured and marked. I am trained in several phonics schemes, including Read Write Inc, Little Wandle Letters and Sounds, and Floppy Phonics.
I particularly enjoy tutoring maths and helping children—and their parents—overcome any nervousness they may feel about the subject. Through the use of practical resources and games, I aim to make maths engaging and accessible, showing that everyone can succeed with the right support.
I also support students preparing for Functional Skills Maths and English, as well as those working towards the 11+ entrance exams. My sessions are engaging, purposeful and designed to build both skills and confidence in a supportive environment.
At Tuition With Emma C, I provide personalised, high-quality educational support tailored to each learner’s unique needs. I work with children aged 4–14 to help them build confidence, improve self-esteem, and enjoy learning across core subjects. My sessions are designed to support individual learning styles and make progress feel achievable and enjoyable.
I also offer targeted preparation for Key Stage 2 SATs and 11+ assessments, helping children feel confident and well-prepared for these important milestones.
In addition to primary and early secondary tuition, I support older learners working towards Functional Skills qualifications in both English and maths—whether they are re-sitting exams, returning to education, or working towards a specific goal.
11+ Tuition
I offer 11+ preparation for children in Year 4 and 5, with a strong focus on English, maths, reasoning and problem-solving skills.
I currently run small online Year 4 and Year 5 groups, alongside limited one-to-one tuition. My teaching is adapted to the new FSCE format and focuses on building secure skills, confidence and the ability to apply learning in unfamiliar contexts.
1:1 Tuition
Personalised support in English and maths for children who need help building confidence, filling gaps, keeping up with schoolwork or developing their skills further.
Sessions are tailored to each child and can focus on areas such as reading, writing, grammar, arithmetic, problem solving or specific areas they are finding difficult.
Support can also be tailored for children with SEND or English as an Additional Language (EAL).
1:1 tuition is offered both in person in the Gloucester area and online.
Functional Skills
I offer Functional Skills tuition in English and maths for learners working from Entry Level through to Level 2. I have experience working with young people with autism, ADHD, and those experiencing education-related anxiety or with other special educational needs.
My approach is calm, encouraging and flexible, with lessons tailored to meet each learner’s needs. Whether the aim is to gain a qualification for college, employment or everyday life, I support learners in building practical skills and growing in confidence at a pace that suits them.
Please note that I do not book or administer exams, but I am happy to help you find a suitable exam centre and understand how to register when the time is right.
Sessions are available online or in person.
