Start from strengths
I begin with what your child does well and build from there, so sessions feel like progress, not correction.
About
Hi, I'm Fatima.
I'm an RCI-registered special educator. I help children aged 6 to 14 build the skills that make learning feel possible again, and I help their parents support them at home.
Why I do this work
When a child struggles at school, I rarely see effort as the problem. More often, a skill underneath the schoolwork—such as understanding instructions, organising a thought or making sense of numbers—needs more support.
In my experience, tuition rarely fixes that because it repeats the same lessons at the same pace. I look for where learning breaks down, teach that skill in a way that suits the child, and show parents how to keep it going at home.
That is why I started The Skill Nest: one child, one plan, and parents who know what to do next.

What guides every session
Learn by doing
I use games, puzzles, objects and stories rather than relying only on worksheets. I find children learn by doing and by explaining what they have handled.
One child, one plan
I don't use group lessons or a fixed syllabus. I build each plan around your child's priority milestones.
Parents as partners
I share monthly progress reports and simple tips that fit into your family routines.
Honest about my role
I'm an educator, not a doctor, so I don't diagnose ADHD or learning disabilities. If I think a clinical evaluation would help your child, I'll tell you and suggest who to see.
Let's talk about your child
