About Olivia
Hello! My name is Olivia, and I am a PGCE-trained educator with experience teaching primary-aged children in both public and international school settings.
Over the past several years, I have worked with learners from a wide range of cultural and linguistic backgrounds, helping them develop confidence and success in English. My experience includes teaching in international schools, supporting English language learners, and working as a Teaching Assistant in UK primary schools. These experiences have given me a strong understanding of how to adapt lessons to meet the needs of individual children.
I am passionate about helping pupils become confident readers, writers and communicators. I particularly enjoy teaching reading comprehension through the VIPERS framework, as well as Grammar, Punctuation and Spelling (SPaG), and preparing pupils for KS1 and KS2 SATs.
I believe that children make the best progress when they feel supported, challenged and encouraged. My aim is to create a positive learning environment where pupils can build confidence, develop key skills and enjoy learning.

My lessons are designed for primary-aged pupils in KS1 and KS2 who would like to improve their English skills, build confidence, or prepare for Year 2 and Year 6 SATs.
I am a PGCE-trained educator with experience working as a Teaching Assistant in UK primary schools, as well as several years of teaching children internationally. I have experience supporting children with phonics, early reading and writing, including teaching phonics following the Read Write Inc. approach. I understand that every child learns differently, so I tailor lessons to suit each pupil’s individual strengths, needs and learning style.
I specialise in reading comprehension through the VIPERS framework (Vocabulary, Inference, Prediction, Explanation, Retrieval and Summarising), as well as Grammar, Punctuation and Spelling (SPaG), phonics, reading fluency, vocabulary, writing and other key KS1 and KS2 English skills.
Lessons are engaging, interactive and structured to help children make steady progress while enjoying learning. Depending on the pupil’s needs, lessons may focus on developing foundational phonics and reading skills, strengthening comprehension, improving writing and grammar, or preparing for SATs.
A typical lesson lasts 45–60 minutes and may include reading activities, SATs-style questions, vocabulary work, phonics and decoding practice, grammar exercises, writing activities, and confidence-building tasks. I regularly assess progress and adapt lessons to ensure pupils are challenged and supported at the right level.
Whether your child needs extra support with phonics and early reading, targeted SATs preparation, help developing their English skills, or simply an opportunity to build confidence, I aim to create a positive learning environment where every child can grow in confidence and achieve their full potential.
Review
All of our reviews are collected by us and are 100% reliable. They correspond to a real experience lived by the students of Olivia.
Perfect! We have been so pleased with the progress Ahmed has made since starting lessons with Olivia. From the very beginning, she has been incredibly organised, professional and supportive, and it's clear how much thought and preparation goes into every lesson.
What I particularly appreciate is the detailed information Olivia sends before each lesson and the personalised feedback afterwards. As a parent, it is really reassuring to understand what Ahmed is learning, how he is progressing, and what skills will be worked on next.
Ahmed genuinely enjoys his lessons and looks forward to them each week. Olivia has a wonderful way of making learning engaging and building his confidence while challenging him appropriately. Since starting with her, I have noticed improvements not only in his reading comprehension but also in his ability to explain his thinking and discuss what he has read with much more confidence.
Olivia is patient, encouraging and clearly passionate about teaching. She takes the time to understand Ahmed's strengths and areas for development, and her structured approach has helped him make steady progress while enjoying the learning process.
I would highly recommend Olivia to any parent looking for a knowledgeable, dedicated and caring English tutor. She has been fantastic for Ahmed, and we are very grateful for all her hard work and support.- Madiha's son was a fantastic student!Olivia's response :
Perfect! Olivia was very patient and helpful and cheerful with my son.

I have known Olivia for over 25 years since she attended the primary school where I taught Information Technology and Computing. Olivia was always a very kind, helpful and hardworking student, who showed a high level of determination to achieve her best. She actively participated in class discussions and contributed valuable insights. Olivia showed great enthusiasm for learning, embracing challenges with her patient and positive attitude, which highlighted her creative flair and originality in the assignments and projects she produced.
Now as a teacher herself, Olivia continues to demonstrate her strong work ethic. She seeks additional learning opportunities to further advance her skills, to support her students to maximise their full potential. Having worked in multiple educational settings in England and overseas, these experiences have provided Olivia with a very well rounded approach to her teaching skill set. She is a very friendly, caring and approachable person, who is also reliable and trustworthy.
Olivia is a valuable asset to the teaching profession, as she endeavours to go above and beyond, in order for students to achieve and succeed.
I would highly recommend Olivia,
without hesitation.
Olivia is a fabulous teacher; she’s patient, understanding, adaptable, and trustworthy. Olivia puts information across in a way you can easily understand and keep pace with. She has a calming, positive nature and communicates clearly. Olivia is a wonderful person who is great at her job. I’m visually impaired, and Olivia put me at ease straight away; she is very inclusive. I built confidence and trust with her very quickly, as Olivia is such a warm and friendly person. I couldn’t recommend her enough.
I’ve known Olivia over a number of years and she has gained substantial knowledge in a wide range of educational settings across the world. She has worked hard to continually develop and further improve her teaching skills. She is person centred and supports people to learn in a way that enhances their learning experience. Olivia genuinely cares about her students and works to create meaningful discussions and learning opportunities. Would definitely recommend Olivia as she is friendly, patient and truly supportive.
Firstly, let me start by saying that I highly recommend Olivia as your tutor, she is a kind, compassionate and dedicated teacher, who always puts the needs of her students first, and strives to meet each individual's wants and needs throughout their learning journey!
Being married to Olivia, I may be a little bit biased, but that shouldn't take away from the fact that Olivia is an excellent tutor. We first moved to China in 2018, and she has been heavily involved in teaching ever since, both online and offline, gaining valuable teaching experience and methodology along the way!
As well as China, we worked in Vietnam and South Korea too, so Olivia has an abundance of cultural understanding across Asia, and applies that to her teaching method, which I would describe as fun yet focused. She has a very clear voice too, which is perfect for beginners to understand!
If you are looking for a tutor that has great patience and devotion to delivering high quality lessons, expertly presented in an exiting and easily digestible way, then look no further, Olivia is the tutor for you!I’ve known Olivia for 25 years, she is friendly, reliable, trustworthy, dedicated and engaging. Olivia has excellent communication skills and has gained a wealth of knowledge and experience teaching in many educational settings over the years. Would highly recommend.
