  Originally I started providing support for an anxious parent at Gladstone Primary School but I soon had quite a few people asking that I had to decline offers to maintain my commitment to the school. I supported for Literacy and Numeracy in KS2 leading into SAT’s and later in KS3. The emphasis has always been on core skills.

I only worked Sundays and the Friday night members session. I have always preferred to work, even when studying at university and this job was rewarding.
