Farzana Cooper
Key Stage 2 and 11+

Shelley Jones
Key Stage 1/2 and 11+
“I have a wealth of teaching experience and working in primary schools for many years. Having worked with all age groups I enjoy seeing the “light bulb” moments when a child understands what they are doing.
Hayley Marchant

I teach years 7-11 both online and in person for pupils based in Hockley and Rayleigh.
Emily Howard
Key Stage 1/2
“Hi everyone! I’m Emily. After having my daughter, I made the decision not to return to full-time teaching, but my passion for helping children learn and grow hasn’t gone anywhere! So I’ve taken all of my experience, knowledge of the primary curriculum, and love for teaching, and now offer 1:1 personalised learning sessions.
Chloe Austin
Key Stage 2 and 11+
“I’m an experienced KS2 teacher with 6 years experience in Year 6 so understand the end goal of KS2 well, including preparing for the 11+. I love helping children to not only reach their full potential academically but supporting them with developing their confidence. Working with your child 1:1 is a fantastic way to do this. I’m here to be a friendly face for you and your child”
