I've worked in teaching, tutoring and training for over 30 years. Since June 2020 I’ve been tutoring 1-1 online through Zoom, adapting my primary maths and English materials for the interactive online space. All my interactive pdfs are free but I can also supply resources in a format which can be converted to interactive Google slides for Google Classroom use (small fee). If you want any resources in that format, I'll upload. My email is MsMeenakshi.tutor@gmail.com
