Teaching

Children want facts – age appropriate facts – but they don’t want to be made uncomfortable in the process which is why humour and different learning styles are embraced at all opportunities.

My journey through to consultancy has been a wonderfully progressive one – each step giving me invaluable insight into the needs of both adults and children and the educational system to which schools work in, including where PSHE sits and how it works within day to day school life.

Over the years I have worked across all key stages, enabling me to use my classroom and school experience to plan and deliver sessions that work within the wider context; governmental guidelines, school policies and practical elements.

All my sessions are bespoke; built on individual school and cohorts’ needs and incorporating up to date development and research to build vital skills and knowledge in PSHE, RSHE and SMSC.  

I teach directly to all children and young people, whether 1:1 EOTAS, homeschooled, small groups or classes from Key Stage One through to Key Stage Four, Sixth Formers right up to University students across the UK and beyond, offering my unique style of professionalism, humour and ‘you-can-talk-to-me-about-anything’ attitude!

Testimonials

It has been an absolute joy seeing Kate every week over the past 15 months and learning so many different topics. She has always approached every topic with care and attention to detail, and I have learnt so much about so many many things… Not only is she an excellent teacher who always makes sure to check if I am okay to be learning certain heavier topics, but she is also a lovely person… I have always felt supported and able to ask any questions I have and discuss anything I may need advice for. I highly recommend Kate to anybody.

I have really enjoyed my PSHE sessions … and feel more informed and confident than I did before our sessions. I’ve always felt safe, supported, and listened to, and I appreciate that every session felt comfortable even if we were discussing difficult material. You are a kind and amazing teacher, and I would highly recommend you to anyone looking for PSHE lessons!

“Really excellent speaker with wonderful open way of presenting a difficult/embarrasing/awkward subject. Really engaging. Great visuals – easily understandable subjects – all clearly defined. Boys played an active part thereby showing their interest and attention.”

“Such a positive learning environment. Children were able to share things with each other that they wouldn’t normally say. you were enthusiastic, engaging and so positive! Children really enjoyed the activities and you had great discipline. The project you set [at the beginning of the week and came back to work on at the end] was super – I LOVED doing it with the children. They learnt so much and will take away a lot from these sessions which we can also use in the classrooms. Excellent! Thank you!”
