💗 About Me

Hey, I’m Zara — a qualified primary teacher and private tutor on a mission to help your child feel brave, happy and confident again.

If we met in real life, you’d probably hear me laughing before you saw me talking.

I teach with stories, silliness, creativity and heart because learning should feel joyful, not pressurised.

But it hasn’t always been that way for me…

When I was in primary school, I always felt like I was “not good enough.”
In fact, in Year 6 I was told, "You'll ever make anything of yourself."

Those words stick. They follow you. They shape how you see yourself even into adulthood.

At 10, I was lucky enough to get my own horse (well I had to share him with my mum and sisters). I was the horses obsessed girl who would grow out of it.

I realised I had a talent... Falling off! Breaking Bones!
I was never the best rider and I always struggled with confidence.

On a serious note, I actually realised I was able to give riders confidence. I could get them through difficult situations and to breathe in their moment of panic. I realised I could lift their confidence, give them the tools they needed to do things they were scared of.

My love for helping others began. I saw how powerful encouragement was and how the right person and approach could rewrite the outcome.

⭐ I understand the child who freezes at the page

⭐ I understand the child who says “I can’t” before they even try


⭐ I understand the child who needs learning to feel fun, safe and manageable


Because I was that child. And it gives me a unique insight in how to help your child.


And that’s why my sessions look a little different: they’re playful, creative, energetic, and designed to rebuild confidence gently through success.

🌈 Expect laughter. I’m a big kid and not afraid to be silly - because relaxed brains learn better.

🧩 Expect creativity. Props, stories, hooks, games, adventures - learning comes alive.

💪 Expect confidence to grow. Children start taking risks, feeling proud again, and believing in themselves.

✨ Expect a tutor who sees the whole child. Not just the gaps. Not just the grades. Their spark.

Get To Know Me... Not The Tutor

🐾 I'm outdoorsy, dog-obsessed and love a nice pub for good food and chat. I'm afraid - no coffee or wine for me!

🐎 I still love horses more than anything - I can't ride anymore, but I have taken up carriage driving and it's the best.

🎾 I like to play ping pong and tennis, for the fun and fresh air - it's not a skill I've developed, but plenty of laughs.

💛 I don't have children of my own, but I care deeply about yours and will be their biggest advocate.
