  • Isla Cummings

  • Judith Tomioka

    My name is Judith Tomioka. I am a retired primary school teacher with a B.Ed Hons degree in Early years. I spent more than 30 years in the classroom, teaching in London, across EYFS, KS1 and KS2. I have always been passionate about giving all children the opportunities to explore and develop their interests and dreams, encouraging them to achieve their potential.

    I value the important relationships between home and school and throughout my career ran sessions in supporting parents and carers with practical ideas of activities and learning opportunities which can be done out of the classroom.

  • Karen Lazarus

    Hello, I'm Karen. I have a Bachelor of Education from Liverpool Hope University College. I have been a primary school class teacher and also an intervention teacher working with small groups, helping them to improve their English and Maths skills.

    I have also tutored children in English and Maths on a 1 to 1 basis in their homes. I really enjoy teaching especially in small groups or 1 to 1 settings and helping children to grow in confidence and overcome their struggles in different areas of the primary curriculum.
