English, Maths, SATs & 11+ Tutor

Sam Layng

Qualified primary teacher supporting children with confidence, clarity and care.

English Lead. Year 6
Expertise.
Tutoring that builds confidence.

I’m a Year 6 teacher and English Lead at Furzedown Primary School, with first-hand experience of what children need to succeed in upper Key Stage 2. I understand the pressure points of Year 6, the expectations of the KS2 curriculum, and the skills children need to feel confident in English, Maths, SATs and 11+ preparation.

My role as English Lead means I do more than teach individual lessons. I help shape high-quality reading and writing across the school. I bring that same clarity, structure and ambition to tutoring, breaking learning down carefully so children can make progress, build independence and feel proud of what they can do.

Sessions are calm, focused and encouraging, combining strong classroom expertise with personalised support. Whether your child needs a confidence boost, targeted SATs or 11+ preparation, or help strengthening core skills, I plan tutoring around their needs and teach in a way that makes learning feel achievable.

My approach

Clear teaching. Calm encouragement. Real progress.

Tutoring works best when children feel safe enough to try, make mistakes and improve. I break learning into manageable steps, model clearly, practise together, then help children apply skills independently.
