TUTOR IN HIGH WYCOMBE

At HappyDais, I specialise in teaching children from Reception to Year 3 in Phonics, English, and Maths. My goal is to build strong foundations while making learning enjoyable and engaging. I believe that when children feel happy and confident, they are more open to learning — and that’s why every lesson is designed to be supportive, encouraging, and fun.

My journey into teaching

My journey into education began at Bath Spa University, where I studied for a BA (Hons) in Early Years Education, graduating with a 2:1. It was during this time that I discovered just how much I love supporting children as they learn and grow. Wanting to take that passion further, I stayed at Bath Spa to complete my PGCE in Primary and Early Years (ages 5–11). This was such a rewarding experience, and I was incredibly proud to be graded as an Outstanding Teacher. These years of study not only gave me a strong foundation in teaching but also sparked the excitement I still feel every day about helping children reach their full potential.

My classroom experience

After graduating, I began my teaching career at Caversham Preparatory School, working in a Year 1 class. I then moved to London to continue my journey at Bonneville Primary School, where I gained a wide range of experience across different age groups. I spent two years in Reception, two years in Year 2, and a term in Year 3. This variety has given me a strong understanding of both the Early Years curriculum and the National Curriculum, as well as the confidence to support children at different stages of their learning journey.

Helping beyond the clasroom

After several years in the classroom, I realised how powerful it can be to give children more personalised support. In school, it isn’t always possible to focus on each child’s individual needs, and I wanted to create a space where children could learn at their own pace, build confidence, and feel proud of their progress. Tutoring allows me to do just that — tailoring lessons to each child, celebrating every small success, and helping them develop the skills they need to thrive both in school and beyond.

Marathon

In April, I ran theLondon Marathon for Guide Dogs UK, supporting a close friend and her guide dog Paddy. I was thrilled to not only finish the race but also raise over my fundraising target for such an important cause.

Siya & Bear

Outside of teaching, life is busy and joyful with my partner and our two new Labrador puppies — a brother and sister from the same litter. They keep us on our toes with their playful personalities and endless energy and they’ve quickly become a much-loved part of our family.

Love for the outdoors

My partner and I share a love of the outdoors, often heading off on camping trips to discover new walking trails. Scotland is our favourite destination because of its beautiful landscapes, it always feels like the perfect adventure!
