About Janica
Helping children become confident, capable readers and writers
Hello! I’m Janica, a qualified teacher in the UK with 4 years of experience as a classroom teacher and 4 years of further experience as a Phonics and SATs booster tutor. I hold a PGCE from the University of Manchester and a First Class degree in English Literature and Linguistics from the University of York. During my A-levels, I was awarded A* in both English Literature and English Language.
I specialise in English with a focus on developing children's reading, comprehension, listening, vocabulary, grammar, and developing confident, purposeful writers. I am passionate about helping children build strong foundations, grow in confidence, and grow a genuine love of reading and writing. I aim to build a safe learning environment for all children. I have an enhanced DBS certificate, available upon request.

My teaching is rooted in evidence-based practice. During my PGCE, I researched inclusive teaching strategies such as exploratory talk and formative assessment (all awarded distinctions), which I now apply to ensure lessons are effective and engaging. My lessons are structured, interactive, and tailored to each child. I use ongoing assessment and clear feedback to track progress, address gaps, and support measurable improvement while building independence. I also use a range of digital tools to ensure your child is engaged throughout the lesson!
The first session includes a personalised English assessment, evaluating reading (fluency and comprehension) and writing (grammar, spelling, and vocabulary). You will receive clear written feedback outlining strengths, areas for development, and a tailored plan to support your child’s progress.
I would love to support your child on their learning journey — feel free to get in touch or book a first lesson to get started!

I have known Janica for the past couple of years and had the pleasure of teaching alongside her!
Janica is a very caring, kind and nurturing teacher. She teaches with her heart and is very professional in the teaching field.Janica was my former colleague. During the time we worked together, she consistently demonstrated professionalism, dedication, and a genuine passion for teaching.
Janica always prepared thoroughly for every lesson. She paid close attention to students’ learning differences by preparing worksheets and learning materials of varying difficulty levels to cater to individual needs. For more capable students, she provided additional exercises and challenges that allowed them to further develop their abilities and tackle higher-level questions. For students who needed more support, she adopted different teaching approaches and methods to help them understand concepts more easily and build confidence in their learning.
Apart from her strong teaching abilities, Janica is a kind, caring, and approachable person. She is well loved by her students, who appreciate her patience and encouragement. She also maintains excellent relationships with colleagues, and many enjoy working with her because of her friendly and cooperative nature.
Overall, I have no hesitation in saying that Janica is an excellent teacher who would be a valuable asset to any school or educational institution. I strongly recommend her for any position she pursues.I worked with Janica as one of her TAs. During our time together, she was an Early Years teacher who created a warm, positive, and engaging environment for children to learn and develop.
She built excellent relationships with both children and parents and always showed patience, kindness, and professionalism. Her activities were well-planned, creative, and supported children’s learning and confidence effectively. Her classroom was always calm.
Janica worked well as part of a team, was reliable, and always willing to support others. She was a valued member of staff within our team.Mrs. Khoo was my son’s teacher in Year 4. She was an amazing teacher, patient, encouraging, and made even the most challenging topics understandable and fun. Under her guidance, my son was able to gain his confidence and become more independent, and he has grown tremendously with her help. My son enjoyed being in her class as she listened to him when he needed help. As a mother, I genuinely appreciate her dedication and the positive influence she had on his learning journey. I would wholeheartedly recommend Mrs. Khoo to any parent looking for an inspiring teacher. Thank you so much for helping my son grow! Sandra Kuyenda.
My name is Anna. I worked with Janica in St.Annes RC Primary School as a TA for 2 years.
I would highly recommend Janica as a teacher. She is truly a great one - very professional in everything she does, very organized - plans her lessons very well, never comes to the class without an idea what wants to do.
Janica has a very good contact with pupils across all age groups.
She is a very patient person, never gives up - perserveres in her teaching, able to explain clearly and in easy way to understand.
If you look for somebody who is super creative, enthusiastic and deeply engaging Janica is the one.
Janica is an amazing, adaptable and caring teacher ! I have seen first-hand how dedicated and caring she is towards both staff and children. Her willingness to share ideas, strategies and advice is second to none and she has had such a positive impact on our school.
As Science Lead, Janica has also been incredibly supportive to staff. She is always approachable and willing to help, whether it's sharing resources, offering expert advice or reaching out to outside agencies to provide extra support and opportunities.
Year 6 loved their opportunity to collaborate with Autotrader and cyber fairytales challenge, and it is wonderful
that these opportunities will continue for future years.
Janica has demonstrated her skills in Nursery, Reception and KS2. No matter what age she teaches she shows a clear understanding of the curriculum and how to adapt to help every child
succeed.View more recommendations
