"I am passionate about helping children develop confidence, resilience and a love of learning. " I am the Founder and Owner of ICAN Education, as well as the ALNCo and Safeguarding Lead. After seven years teaching within primary schools and Key Stage 3, I founded ICAN Education in February 2022 with the vision of creating a nurturing, inclusive learning environment where every child feels safe, supported and able to reach their full potential. I now have over nine years of experience working with children and young people across mainstream schools, private nurseries, alternative provisions and Pupil Referral Units (PRUs). I am passionate about helping children develop confidence, resilience and a love of learning. I have extensive experience supporting children with Additional Learning Needs (ALN), as well as those who require greater academic challenge. I have a particular passion for trauma-informed practice and believe that building positive relationships, understanding each child's individual needs, and creating a calm, supportive environment are the foundations for successful learning. I also believe that the best outcomes are achieved when parents and educators work together. I am passionate about supporting parents throughout their child's educational journey, building strong, trusting relationships through open communication and working in partnership to help every child flourish bothacademically and personally. When I'm not at ICAN, I love making memories with my little girl, Maia. In my very rare spare time, you'll usually find me enjoying a relaxing spa day or spending quality time with family and friends.

"My aim is to inspire children and young people to believe in themselves, enjoy learning, and achieve their full potential." I have 14 years of experience teaching Welsh and English across secondary schools, and more recently I worked in a college setting, where I specialised in delivering the GCSE English resit course. I really enjoy being able to give personalised attention and tailor my teaching to suit each student’s unique needs. I am now the Deputy Head, Exams Officer and Safeguarding Lead at ICAN Education, where I strive to help create a safe, nurturing, and supportive environment for learners of all ages. My aim is to inspire children and young people to believe in themselves, enjoy learning, and achieve their full potential—whether they need additional support, ALN provision, or greater academic challenge.

"Supporting children to become confident, enthusiastic readers is at the heart of my teaching." I’m an experienced primary school teacher with over 10 years of classroom experience, working with children across a wide range of ages and needs. I spent nine years teaching Reception and Year 1 before moving into tutoring, where I continue to support children through personalised, engaging learning. I’ve taught in both mainstream and boarding school settings, and these experiences have shaped my inclusive, adaptable approach to teaching. I specialise in early reading and phonics, having been an Early Reading and Phonics Lead for seven years. Supporting children to become confident, enthusiastic readers is something I’m truly passionate about. I have experience supporting children with dyslexia, using multi-sensory approaches to make learning accessible, engaging and confidence-building. Alongside tutoring, I run my own creative business designing lifelike crepe paper flowers and delivering workshops, which inspires me to bring creativity, hands-on learning and problem-solving into my sessions. I moved from Surrey to Wales in 2025 and, when I’m not tutoring, you’ll usually find me travelling and exploring somewhere new, or spending the weekend crafting and designing.

"My goal is for every child to leave each session feeling more confident, capable, and motivated." I have over 18 years of experience working in primary schools, supporting children from Nursery to Year 6. I specialise in phonics and early maths, helping children build strong foundations in reading, writing, and numeracy. I take a calm, patient, and nurturing approach, creating a positive environment where children feel confident to learn and achieve their potential. I have extensive experience supporting children with Additional Learning Needs (ALN), as well as challenging more able learners. As a fluent Welsh speaker, I can also support children learning through the medium of Welsh when needed. Safeguarding and children's wellbeing are at the heart of everything I do. My goal is for every child to leave each session feeling more confident, capable, and motivated. Outside of teaching, I enjoy spending time with my granddaughter, meeting friends for coffee, and treating myself to some chocolate!

"My goal is for every child to leave feeling proud, confident, and thinking, "I can do this." I have over four years of experience tutoring maths and science, supporting children with catch-up learning and helping them grow in confidence. I take a friendly, creative, and encouraging approach, breaking learning into simple, manageable steps to make maths and science feel enjoyable and achievable. I have extensive experience supporting children with Additional Learning Needs (ALN) and adapt my teaching to suit each child's individual learning style. As a Welsh speaker, Theatre Director, and Producer, I bring energy, creativity, and imagination to every session. My goal is for every child to leave feeling proud, confident, and thinking, "I can do this." Outside of tutoring, I enjoy reading, crocheting, finding a bargain in the charity shops, going to the theatre and I'm a big Taylor Swift fan!

"I especially enjoy supporting young people with a wide range of learning needs, creating a positive and encouraging environment" I’ve been teaching and tutoring for over 28 years, including 20 years specialising in teaching Mathematics within Pupil Referral Units (PRUs). I’m passionate about teaching Mathematics and helping students build confidence by breaking down complex topics into simple, manageable steps. I especially enjoy supporting young people with a wide range of learning and additional needs, creating a positive and encouraging environment where they can thrive. When I’m not teaching, my passions are travelling the world, watching football, and spending time with my grandson. My aim is always to help every student feel supported, capable of success, and confident in their learning journey.
