I am an experienced and Ofsted ‘outstanding’ rated English teacher providing one-to-one tuition and academic coaching for pupils aged 10-16 years old (Key Stages 2,3 and 4) in English Language and Literature.
I am warm, approachable and upbeat and have a good understanding of how children and young people learn. I am experienced in working with children with a wide range of different needs and from different backgrounds. Some of my students struggle in the classroom environment due to specific learning difficulties or emotional needs and I am skilled at figuring out where they need help and what will help them to feel happy about themselves and learning so that they are able to thrive. I can work in conjunction with schools and parents to help devise plans for students to make sure that we are working together in the most effective way.
I studied my Post Graduate Certificate of Education at the University of London’s Institute of Education and went on to teach at one of London’s best state schools. I am very experienced in preparing students for GCSE at all ability levels and I know the common exam boards and exam questions extremely well. I have been tutoring pupils aged from 10-16 years old in English Literature and Language for the past fifteen years including students from Beechen Cliff, Hayesfield Girls’ School and Ralph Allen school as well as private schools. I also provide common entrance preparation for schools including King Edward’s, Kingswood and Prior Park.
I have studied a short term course on Dyslexia/Specific Learning Difficulties and while I am not a specialist, I am able to work well with students with dyslexia.
I am passionate about literature and love Shakespeare and poetry in particular.
My rates are:
GCSE: £45 an hour
KS2 and KS3: £42 an hour
