About Me
Hello, my name is Sue. I am mum to 4 children aged between 25 and 12 years old. I have been teaching Literacy and British Sign Language for over 20 years. I have always been active in my children's education - home educating as well as being a school governor and classroom assistant. I also spent 18 years working within the Scouting movement to ensure all young people had opportunities to Scout whatever their abilities.
I have also trained in TESOL and TEFL, as well as training in other areas of Education. I have extensive experience of working with young people with additional needs. I firmly believe in making education fun and tailor sessions to the child's likes and dislikes wherever I can.
When I am not the Barefoot Tutor I am also a facilitator and co-director of invis-Ability CIC a Stevenage based Community Interest Company which provides educational opportunities to all ages and abilities. I hold a full DBS check.
I also write children's books. Which are available on Amazon or via invis-Ability CIC (link above)
My mission is to foster a love of learning in your little ones, through creative lesson plans and prompts.
“When an adult is excited about learning it is contagious”
