I started LittleLearns because I believe every child can become a confident reader
For over a decade I’ve sat beside children at that exact moment reading “clicks” — when letters stop being shapes and start telling stories. There is nothing like it.
I began my career as an early-years teacher in mainstream classrooms, where I watched bright, curious children fall behind simply because reading was taught to thirty of them at once. The ones who needed a little more time didn’t get it. The ones who raced ahead got bored. Reading became a source of stress instead of joy — and I knew it didn’t have to be that way.
So I trained. Properly. I qualified as a TEFL instructor, earned my Cambridge certification, became accredited in the Jolly Phonics method, and qualified under the Government of India’s NIPUN mission so my teaching would align with both global best practice and your child’s school curriculum. I’m also a Google Certified Educator and Microsoft Certified Educator, which means the way I run a live online classroom is held to the same standard as the world’s best digital-learning teachers.
“A child who learns to read with confidence doesn’t just do better at school — they fall in love with learning itself.”
Today, I teach small groups of no more than six children, live online via Zoom. Small enough that I know exactly where every child is, what they find tricky, and how to make them light up. I teach every class myself — when you book with LittleLearns, you get me, not a rotating roster of tutors.
Whether your child is sounding out their very first word or building the grammar they’ll carry into Grade 8, my job is the same: to make them feel capable, curious, and genuinely excited to keep going.
