About Vicki:

Vicki brings a nurturing, relational approach to English and literacy support, helping learners from KS2 to GCSE unlock their potential. She has a particular gift for working with children who need a little extra encouragement—whether due to special educational needs, emotional challenges, or gaps in confidence. Her sessions blend academic rigour with emotional sensitivity, creating a safe space where learners feel heard, supported, and empowered.
