About

Passionate educator and personal development advocate with over 16 years of experience supporting learners of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds — from mainstream classrooms and SEN/EAL settings to private tutoring and international student recruitment.
I specialise in creating personalised, student-centred learning experiences that build confidence, unlock potential, and drive real results. Whether designing bespoke Schemes of Work, preparing students for high-stakes exams (IELTS, Trinity, Cambridge, City & Guilds), plannimg schemes of work from the CEFR framework or coaching individuals through academic and personal challenges, my approach is always rooted in empathy, cultural sensitivity, and a genuine belief in every learner's capacity to grow.
Highlights of my career include:

Achieving a 100% client satisfaction rate as a private tutor across all ages and abilities
Driving 100% enrolment rates through meaningful student engagement and guidance
Supporting students with SEND, ESOL, and functional skills through tailored 1-1 and group interventions
Multilingual communicator — fluent in English, Punjabi, Hindi, and Spanish

Qualified in TEFL, CAVA, and OISC-trained in international student support, I bring both the professional grounding and the support needed to help people thrive.

Currently open to Personal Development Tutor and Assessing opportunities where I can continue to make a meaningful difference.
