The Lessons

 

Lessons are generally once a week for an hour, with fees based on the number of tutees sharing a lesson. I offer tailored 1:1 tuition at my home in Didsbury, though group sessions can also be arranged.

After a thorough assessment, lessons are customized to individual needs and learning styles, with clear, achievable goals. My tutees thrive due to my engaging teaching style, fun lessons, and a multi-sensory approach. I draw from my extensive bank of learning resources, many of which I have personally designed to support all areas of learning and accommodate individual needs.

 Availability

During term-time, I generally tutor Tuesdays to Thursdays until 7 p.m., and limit sessions during school holidays.

I am usually fully booked for after-school hours and maintain a waiting list. If no slots are available when you apply, I will notify you as soon as a space becomes available.

 

Child Tuition

 

My lessons are aligned with the National Curriculum and cover the following areas:

11+ Preparation Spelling Strategies Handwriting

I hold an up-to-date enhanced DBS certificate, available upon request, along with my professional qualifications.

With an extensive bank of differentiated learning resources and entrance exam papers for leading grammar schools, I provide targeted support to help students excel. My success rate in securing grammar school places is exceptional, and many families choose to work with me for multiple siblings over the years. Most of my tutees are referred through word of mouth.

 

Adult Tuition

My adult tutees aim to improve their English for various reasons: enhancing work-related skills, supporting their children's literacy, or brushing up on their own abilities. Some require ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) tuition, while others, having missed much of their early education, need Basic Literacy support.

I also assist individuals with dyslexia by helping them develop strategies to overcome learning barriers. Additionally, I support tutees working on dissertations and vocational courses, focusing on planning, research, grammar, punctuation, proofreading, and Harvard referencing.

 

Homework

I hold high expectations for both my tutees and myself. Homework is an integral part of my lessons, reinforcing learning, providing valuable practice, and helping me assess each tutee’s understanding to guide future lesson planning.

The amount of homework will be agreed upon at the start, considering the tutee’s age and other commitments. Naturally, completing more homework leads to faster progress.

 

Anything else

Just ask and I will be delighted to assist. For details of my qualifications, experience and fees please follow the links at the top and bottom of each page.
