About

Hello, I’m Ayanthi (pronounced eye-YAN-thee)

I’m an experienced primary teacher who believes learning should feel warm, fun and genuinely accessible for every child.

I hold an Honours degree in English Language and Linguistics, and I began my career in education as a Teaching Assistant for two years. During that time I supported children in class and in small intervention groups, helping them build confidence and close gaps in their learning. Those early experiences inspired me to train as a teacher.

In 2020, I obtained Qualified Teacher Status after completing my training with the University of Hertfordshire alongside school-based practice. This gave me a deep understanding of how to run a classroom, differentiate effectively and respond to a wide range of needs.

For the next five years, I led classes of 30+ children across Key Stage 2, teaching the British Curriculum in primary schools in Hertfordshire. I loved getting to know every child’s personality and finding the best way to unlock their learning.

One of my favourite parts of teaching has always been tailoring lessons and topics to the interests of my class, making learning feel relevant, exciting and achievable. Now, I’m using that experience to offer 1:1 and small group tuition, creating truly personalised learning journeys that help children feel capable, supported and proud of themselves.

My teaching approach

Every child learns differently. My role is to notice what helps them thrive and build a calm, encouraging space around that.

Qualified & experienced

I have Qualified Teacher Status and over five years of experience teaching the British Curriculum in primary schools across Hertfordshire. This classroom experience means I understand the expectations, topics and skills your child is working towards day to day.

Kind, calm & encouraging

Kindness, patience and adaptability are at the heart of my teaching. I work hard to create a safe, engaging space where there is mutual respect, children’s strengths are noticed and celebrated and they feel supported through any difficulties in their learning.

Student-centred learning

I draw on a strong subject knowledge across the primary curriculum and use a wide range of teaching methods to create meaningful, student-centred learning experiences. Sessions are tailored to your child’s needs, interests and goals so they feel ownership of their learning and can grow in confidence over time.
