Ask Mrs McDade
Over a decade in the primary classroom and eight years tutoring privately, helping children in Years 2 to 8 build real confidence in maths and English — in person near Bury or online anywhere in the UK.
I'm a qualified primary school teacher with more than ten years of classroom experience, having started out as a teaching assistant. I've taught across every primary year group, and I bring the same care over each child's individual needs into every tutoring session.
Alongside the classroom, I've delivered one-to-one tuition for over eight years — helping pupils keep pace, close gaps in their learning, and prepare for exams. That's given me a genuinely personalised approach: every lesson is shaped around how your child learns best, not a fixed scheme of work.
Entrance exam practice built around your child's target schools, with honest, realistic feedback along the way.
Targeted support to build confidence and close gaps ahead of Year 6 SATs.
Steady, encouraging support for children who've fallen behind or just need to stay on track.
Structured sessions that complement home education in maths, English and reasoning.
Support to help your child move up with confidence, covering the gaps that often open up between Year 6 and Year 7.
