With a new school year starting and my previous students I tutored now celebrating their successes from gaining excellent GCSE results in both English Literature and Language, I have availability for the new academic year for KS3 /KS4 tutoring after school or at the weekend.

I can provide further references if required - most of my students have come from personal recommendations year on year.

Tutoring Experience

Full time English teacher at a ‘Good’ school in Buckinghamshire where I hold a leadership role in the department. I have been teaching for 12 years and tutored students throughout this time; each student significantly improving their grades.

I have experience in teaching all abilities either to students individually or in small groups of 2/3. (The AQA curriculum) and have been tutoring for several years.

Tutoring Approach

Professional, experienced and dedicated tutor with the ability to see students reach their full potential and exceed their predicted grades with sessions that challenge and consolidate learning from schools.

How I can help!

Extra attention – one-on-one

A little extra attention can go a long way. One-on-one teaching is tailored to meet a student’s needs and abilities, so they are able to learn their strengths and weaknesses through guided sessions with in-depth and on the spot feedback. Communication can be more effective as students feel more confident speaking up and asking questions to a trusted individual rather than a room full of peers.

Strengthen the foundations

Working with a private English tutor can help you strengthen the important foundations needed for a successful essay and creative writing piece. Things like grammar, punctuation, sentence structure are the pinnacle of success alongside imaginative detail.

Confidence / get ahead with practice

Working one-on-one with a private English tutor can significantly increase a student’s confidence, as they are given the opportunity to catch up on things they may have missed or did not understand and allows them to get ahead with practice.

Get used to exam style questions and formal test settings

Tutors provide a monitored study session, focusing on productivity and time management in each get-together, so students are given the opportunity to get used to exam style questions and formal test settings. Tutors can conduct practice exams with students tailored to their syllabus.

Improved attitude toward learning

When a child is confident in their abilities, they are able to achieve anything. Doubt can have a severe impact on a student’s motivation to learn. Sometimes it just takes a little more time and further in-depth explaining in a comfortable setting and communication style to change a student’s attitude toward a subject.
