Meet the Team

I am the owner of EH Education and completed my PGCE at Newcastle University in 2016. Since qualifying, I have dedicated my career to supporting children with social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) needs, working with a wide range of learners to help them overcome barriers and achieve success.

My passion has always been to create a nurturing, inclusive environment where every child feels safe, valued, and understood. I believe that positive relationships are at the heart of learning, and I strive to help each child build confidence and find a genuine love of learning at their own pace.

I deliver our 1:1 alternative provision sessions, Key Stage 2 Home Education classes, after-school primary sessions and also our 1:1 tuition on Saturday mornings.
