My Summary
Learning Buddy Tutoring & Wellbeing
About Me
Hi! I'm Claire,
I am a qualified, experienced Teacher and tutor, founder of Learning Buddy Tutoring & Wellbeing and lead SEN teacher.
I am also a Drawing and Talking Practitioner, providing person-centred therapeutic intervention for children, young people and adults to enable individuals to express and process their emotions and feelings through symbolic representation and storytelling language.
I love to share my passion for learning with others by providing quality tuition on a one-to-one basis in a fun and engaging manner to suit your child's individual learning needs and style.
I believe the primary years build the foundations for lifelong learning. My aim is to support your child to develop the key skills and tools to support them along their learning journey, helping them to grow in confidence in their own ability whilst developing a love of learning too.
Tuition is available in all primary subjects, specialising in English and Maths from Pre-school up to the learning stage of Year 6. I also offer tuition for 11+ and Drawing and Talking therapy.
Private Tuition available In-person.
I am based in the Ferndown area which places me in a great location to offer tuition across Ferndown, Wimborne, Verwood, Ringwood and the surrounding villages as well as Bournemouth, Poole and Christchurch so please do get in touch to see if I travel to your area. I also have a lovely teaching space set up in my garden classroom if you’d prefer to visit me.
