About Me
Hello, I'm Sally Draffan, a passionate educator from the UK. I was born and raised near London where I studied early years education. For the past 10 years, my contribution in education has helped children internationally in a range of settings. My experiences includes working in; schools, learning centres, nurseries, youth centres, orphanages, maternity nurse, kindergarten, forest schools, playgroups, and at home care for children with additional needs. As a qualified teacher, I prioritize physical and mental health as a basis for children to learn, develop and grow from. My role provides opportunity and safe environments for children as part of an educational experience. I believe when each child's individual needs are met, they are able to thrive and reach their full potential as part of a healthy and happy childhood.
English Tutoring
I am a native English speaker, providing private English lessons for children to develop their language, literature and communication skills.Each class is tailored to your child's interests to motivate your child to learn in a fun and stimulating manner. Classes include; books, conversation, guided activities, games, interactive experiences, tasks, homework, feedback.With parents, goals are set to focus the learning.

Depending on your child's age, we complete age-appropriate activities according to their level of English.
