My Story


Hello, I'm Kara!
Children are superstars! They are resilient, hard-working learners who sometimes need encouragement and someone to inspire their learning and ignite their confidence to reach their goals. Their superpower is their ability to learn, and I'm here to help them unlock it!
My passion for teaching started in 1997 when I began my teaching career as a primary class teacher with a literacy specialism. I've always believed that every child has potential, and that belief has only grown stronger over the years. After 25 years in education, I've worked with children from various backgrounds, abilities, and age groups, all of whom have unique learning styles and needs.
It is this understanding that inspired me to start Just 2 Imagine Tutors, my online tutoring business. As an experienced primary tutor, reading specialist, and phonics tutor, I know the challenges children face when it comes to literacy. Through online phonics and reading lessons, I help children develop the essential reading, writing and spelling skills they need to succeed. I'm committed to an inclusive philosophy that all children can learn!
Focussed on Confidence and Growth
Today, I dedicate my energy, expertise and years of experience to helping children become confident learners. My teaching approach encourages independent learning, and fosters a growth mindset, helping children take ownership of their learning and reach their goals. I work closely with each child to develop personalised strategies for reading, writing and spelling success.
Imagine Your Child as a Confident, Independent Learner
As a parent myself, I know how much you want your child to be a confident, independent learner-reading fluently and writing with ease. It's possible! With the right support, your child can build these essential skills and gain the confidence they need to thrive.
The Power of Online Tutoring
What amazed me about starting my online tutoring business was the positive impact it has on individual children's learning. It's truly rewarding to see children engage and love their lessons, especially when we meet via Zoom! Here are just a few of the benefits of online tutoring:
🌟Convenience: Learning takes place in the comfort of your own home-no travel required!
🌟Engagement: Lessons are fun and interactive, using both hand-on and digital resources to keep kids engaged.
🌟Personalisation: Every lesson is tailored to your child's individual needs, learning style, and goals.
🌟Flexibility: While I plan every lesson, I also embrace child-led learning, making the best lessons often emerge from spontaneous moments.
There's nothing quite like seeing a child's face light up when they have an 'Aha' moment!
