Lift Up Literacy Tutoring Service

Mrs. Nicki Fee - BEd (Hons) Primary

Is your child struggling with reading or writing? Do they need a confidence boost through personalised, fun, and engaging literacy practice? I offer tailored sessions to support your child's unique needs.

About Me:

I am a mum to two teenage boys and a keen supporter of their football and basketball matches. I love reading, especially modern fiction, and enjoy practising yoga and recently took up running. My downtime is often spent with friends, coffee, and cake!

With 28 years of experience as a primary school teacher, I’ve taught across all stages—from the early years through to Key Stage Two. Most recently, I led a large local primary school in raising literacy standards and developing English across all age groups.

What I Offer:

I specialise in helping children become confident readers and writers. I am skilled in teaching phonics and early reading skills, comprehension, spelling, handwriting, grammar, and more. My experience also includes working with children who have special educational needs, including those on the autistic spectrum. I use creative methods like songs, rhymes, and visual aids, in short, focused sessions, to make learning fun and effective.
