About Hawthorn Learning

Calm, confidence-building tuition for primary-aged children in Sheffield.

I offer personalised tuition for children aged 4–11, including home-educated learners. Sessions are tailored to each child’s needs, interests and confidence, helping learning feel safe, achievable and enjoyable again.

Why parents choose Hawthorn Learning

Confidence first
Learning works best when children feel safe to try. I focus on reducing anxiety and building belief before introducing challenge.

Truly personalised
Sessions are shaped around each child, not a programme. I adapt pace, approach and content every time.

Experienced primary teacher
With over 10 years of experience teaching the English curriculum, I know how to support children gently and effectively.
