Marion

I am an experienced primary school teacher having worked in the profession since 2001. I have taught in the state and independent sector. I really enjoy my work helping children reach their full potential.
I CAN TUTOR AT YOUR HOME IF YOU LIVE WITHIN 3 MILES OF MY HOME BUT WILL CHARGE £10 FOR TRAVEL TIME AND EXPENSES IF OVER 3 MILES AWAY.

Tutoring Experience

I have taught all age groups from Year 1-Year 6 so have an excellent knowledge of expectations and progression across the curriculum. I have worked with a variety of learning abilities supporting children to reach age-related expectations and beyond in English and Maths.
While working as an independent tutor, I have successfully prepared children for 11 plus entrance exams at Queen Elizabeth, Highgate, Latimer, North Bridge House, Bancroft's and Dame Alice Owen and for 7 plus entrance exams at Highgate, Bancroft's and City of London.
Having worked as a Maths Co-ordinator, I have had specialist training in the most effective methods for improving Maths' problem solving skills and developing higher order thinking skills.

Tutoring Approach

I start off by assessing the child and finding their strengths and areas for development. I work from there to address any barriers that are holding a child back as well as using their strengths to develop confidence and encourage further progress. I include a variety of visuals, discussion, modelling and games to make learning fun and accessible but also ensure there is a level of challenge in each lesson.
I am enthusiastic and patient and believe in providing lots of encouragement so children feel secure and are in a better frame of mind to learn.
