teaching science
Hi, I'm Harriet
A safe, supportive space to learn science.
I've worked with many home-educating families, and I care deeply about education outside mainstream school. When young people feel safe and understood, they thrive, so that's where every lesson starts.
There are lots of reasons children learn outside school. Whatever yours are, lessons are engaging and adaptable. We can begin with the very basics and let your child's interests and natural curiosity steer the journey.
- Lessons shaped around your child's interests
- Practical, hands-on science, delivered online
- Planned together with parents, guardians and your child
- From the very basics right through to GCSE & A-level
Learning built around your child
Their interests lead. The science follows.
Science is a hands-on subject that sparks curiosity and helps us make sense of the world. So instead of a fixed timetable, lessons grow out of what your child already loves.
Hands-on activities
Practical, engaging lessons that use a range of tools and approaches, all in a virtual classroom you can join from home.
At their own pace
No class to keep up with. We build understanding step by step, so knowledge sticks and confidence grows.
Your goals, your way
For the joy of it, or for a qualification.
I work towards the individual goals of each young person, whatever those look like for your family.
An hour of science a week
Simply enjoying science: exploring big questions, doing experiments and building a love of learning. No exams required.
Working towards GCSE or A-level
Ready to aim for a recognised qualification? We'll plan a route towards GCSEs or A-levels, at a pace that works for your child.
