Why Little Stars Tutoring?
Extensive Teaching Experience
I have 6 years of experience as a teacher and tutor, working in primary schools, including Reception units graded outstanding by Ofsted. I have extensive knowledge of the Early Years curriculum. I teach all subjects but specialise in teaching children their sounds and how to read and write. I can also help teach your child key mathematical skills such as counting, adding, taking-away etc.
One-to-One Personalised Tuition
I plan individual lessons and prepare materials focused entirely on your child's learning needs, to use throughout the tutorial session and to ensure maximum progress. In classroom settings with 30 children, it is easy for them to fall behind. I believe one-to-one, expert support is so important to ensure your child achieves their full potential. I consistently enable children to make a large amount of progress in a short space of time.
Personalised Learning Plans
Throughout my teaching career, including tutoring, my lessons have been described as stimulating. To ensure accelerated progress, within my teaching I use a variety of different teaching styles such as games, learning videos and repetition to engage children, making lessons fun and catering for the needs of individual learners. I form strong relationships with children quickly, which enables their progress to flourish. I am patient and work to develop children's confidence. It's important to me that your child enjoys our sessions and is happy and confident throughout. Children enjoy what we do and develop a love for reading and writing in particular. A parent of a child I tutored told me that after my tutoring his child "went from being at the bottom of the class to the top of the class."

What Parents Say
Victoria
I am so glad we came across Katherine's profile. She is amazing. We have a very active four years old. She manages to keep his attention. He is not the easiest child, but she found a way to motivate him to study through play and changing activities. He did not like writing but he writes now. Highly Recommend Katherine and feel blessed to have found her.
Ellena
Katherine is a consummate professional who has managed to establish a great rapport with my three year old. Lessons are the perfect blend of learning through play and fun repetition of the basics which means my daughter is never bored and the speed of her progression/development has been noted by all. Katherine is always punctual and reliable and provides detailed feedback and advice on how to maintain and cement learning through everyday activities. I would highly recommend her for early years students especially.
Charlotte
Katherine's been fantastic at engaging her (which is often difficult) and our daughter's handwriting and phonemic awareness has progressed rapidly. I would highly recommend Katherine to anyone else seeking additional support for their child.
