I have lived in Altrincham for 21 years and have four daughters who went to a local primary school and then Altrincham Grammar School for Girls.
I am a primary teacher, retiring in August 2024, after 19 years of primary experience working in all junior years. I have also tutored children for the local school entrance exams for approximately 25 years. I was a French teacher at secondary school before becoming a primary school teacher and I also taught Arabic reading and writing at the University of Manchester, and translation from Arabic to English at the University of Salford, whilst studying for my Masters in Applied Linguistics.
I use a combination of direct instruction and extensive practice on the 11+ style questions. I have a wealth of resources, collected over the years. I adapt my teaching style to the needs of the learner and focus on putting the child at ease.
