Meet Ms Betty
“I’ve spent years walking alongside primary-aged children as they learn to read, count and problem solve. What I love most isn’t just correct answers, it’s the moment a child realises they can do more than they think.”
Cultivating knowledge, understanding and a spirit of excellence.
Learning together, side by side
Groups stay small on purpose. Children hear each other think, share ideas and cheer each other on — and every child still gets time with Ms Betty in every session.
- Friendly groups from £25 per week
- Age-appropriate session lengths, 30 to 50 minutes
- One-to-one available when a child needs it

What families say
Miss Betty has tailored her lessons to include Michael Jackson, who my daughter is obsessed with at the moment. She literally counts down the days to see Miss Betty. It’s just a joy to see my daughter find a love for learning.
Miss Betty kept my very shy daughter engaged from the very start. She enjoyed the lessons and managed to gain more confidence in her English comprehension than she would have at school.
My daughter has come a long way. She loves her sessions and I’ve seen such an eager energy to learn more. I’m so happy with the sessions.
Frequently asked questions
The practical bits, so you know exactly what to expect before your child’s first session.
How does payment work?
Payment is upfront, monthly in advance. Once we confirm a slot, I send a secure payment link. This keeps your child’s place reserved and lets me plan sessions properly.
How long are the lessons?
Lesson length is age-appropriate so children stay focused: Reception 30 minutes, Year 1 45 minutes, and KS2 (Years 2–6) 50 minutes.
What should my child bring?
A small whiteboard and pen are ideal, or simply paper/notebook and something to write with. I'll share anything additional in advance if a specific session needs it.
What kind of learning space works best?
A quiet, distraction-free space really matters, especially for online sessions. Somewhere your child can sit comfortably, hear clearly and focus without interruptions helps them get the most from every lesson.
How do we stay in touch?
Day-to-day communication is via WhatsApp or email. I share progress notes, gentle homework prompts and answer any questions there.
