In my spare time I love reading, knitting and crochet as well as sewing. I like to spend time with my 2 dogs and children. As a parent with 2 special educational needs children, I have learnt to adapt to their understanding when tutoring them with homework for school and college. I also refer back to basics if the need arises to assess where any extra learning support may be required. I have worked with children of all ages over many years. First as an employee during the late 1990s. Secondly, I became a parent volunteer in pre school and primary school settings. Any secondary school tutoring to date has been with my own 3 children.
