Find out more about the teacher:

My name is Mrs Suzy Hill and I am an Early Years Practitioner specialising in ages 2-5 within the Ealing Borough.

I have 22 years of experience working within settings and also online support during the current pandemic. My main focus is 2-5 year olds – helping pre-schoolers and nursery aged children enter into more mainstream education and support families where children have not been able to access pre-schools/nurseries etc.

I believe Maths should be fun with the most important aspect being confidence building for children, remembering that all children are at different levels. I have an enhanced DBS, Cache Level 3 in Special Educational Needs, Designated Safeguarding Lead Officer, Makaton Levels 1-4 and am passionate about Maths within Early Years Education and Support.

I do not advocate constant worksheets – maths is all around us and I can help with tips on exercises and games to do around the home to build confidence – but it is important that the whole family gets involved – turn taking etc. Some children will be starting to do simple sums and I can provide simple worksheets to consolidate and enhance this work. For those children already either in Nursery or Reception sessions will be also aimed at what they are learning in school/online with additional activities to enhance their learning. At this age, sessions will focus on Maths Language, Comparison, Grouping,

Number Repetition and Classifications. Above all I aim to build confidence and enable parents to help their children during this difficult period.
