If your child is struggling to write stories or put their ideas onto paper, they will thrive with a writing tutor.

Tutoring shouldn't feel like school. It should be a fun way to boost your child's writing skills, with games and activities that put them at the heart of the lesson.

They'll learn how to bring their ideas to life—planning, structuring, and editing their writing in a way that makes it exciting and meaningful. 

Once they're buzzing with creativity and eager to write, I'll guide them through their grammar and spelling to ensure their words really shine.

Absolutely! I love to help children become confident readers, as my best writers are usually bookworms too! Books are a brilliant way to build vocabulary, spark ideas, and learn what great writing looks like.

While I'm not a specialist dyslexia tutor, I aim to make my lessons as engaging and inclusive as possible.

Your child might prefer to use a laptop, tablet or voice recorder to capture their ideas, and that's perfectly fine!

I also use visuals—like pictures and videos— along with a 'Now and Next' timetable, to help them stay on track.

Most importantly, I'll give your child plenty of time to think, read, and write, making sure they feel super confident and supported.

I'd love to! If you're within my tutoring area (Steyning, Shoreham, and Burgess Hill), I'll come over to you. If you're further afield, we can still have a fantastic session online.

I specialise in helping children aged 8-12, but if your child has a passion for writing, I'm always happy to have a chat and see how I can help!

Lessons are £35 per hour. Here's exactly what's included:

• 1:1 tutoring in the comfort of your home or online.
• Fun, personalised lessons based on your child's needs and interests.
• A degree in English and Education, plus seven years' experience as a school TA and tutor.

All travel within my tutoring area is included, with no hidden fees – just engaging, confidence-boosting lessons designed to help your child become a brilliant writer!

Of course! I offer a free 20-minute taster lesson so we can be sure I'm the right tutor for your child.

I'll create a mix of fun writing activities just for them, giving you a glimpse of what a full lesson will look like. 

There's no pressure to book, but if it feels like the right fit, I'd love to support your child on their writing journey!

Yes! I've teamed up with HurstWorks in Hurstpierpoint to run the Wednesday Writing Workshop.

It's a fun, relaxed space where children aged 8–12 can get creative, share ideas, and learn together. If you think your child would enjoy writing in a group, you can find all the details here.
