Every child can shine — some just need a different light.
I'm Lena, a qualified primary school teacher offering calm, nurturing one-to-one and small group tuition for KS1 and KS2 children across Havant and Portsmouth — including children with SEND and SEMH needs who deserve learning that fits them, not the other way round.
confidence comes first!Free initial consultation & assessment — no pressure, just a friendly chat about your child.
Not every child thrives in a busy classroom. That's okay.
Some children need learning broken into smaller steps. Some need help rebuilding confidence after a wobble. Others simply need someone who understands how they learn best. My sessions are calm, positive and built entirely around your child — a place where it's safe to make mistakes, ask questions and discover that they really can do it.
Confidence first
When children feel understood and supported, progress follows naturally — it always does.

Support that meets your child where they are
As a current primary teacher with real experience of SEND and SEMH needs, I offer tuition that works with your child — their pace, their interests, their way of seeing the world. Smaller steps, more encouragement, zero pressure.
About SEND & SEMH support
From first hello to little wins
Say hello
Get in touch and tell me a little about your child — what's going well, what's been tricky, and what you'd love to see change.
Free consultation & assessment
We have a relaxed chat and I get to know your child gently. No tests that feel like tests — just a clear picture of where they are.
A plan that fits
I put together a personalised plan around your child's needs, interests and learning style — and talk it through with you.
Watch them grow
Weekly sessions, regular feedback, and those little moments where it clicks. Confidence first — progress follows.
