Tutoring Approach

Friendly, approachable and patient with an adaptable/ flexible tutoring style catering for individual student needs.

A particular focus is on exam technique and practice for those requiring SATS, entrance test/11+ preparation, GCSE, iGCSE and A level tuition, though many of my tutees simply want to improve their confidence and school grades. Many past/current students would provide a personal recommendation and report that their confidence and grades have improved as a result of the tuition.

Terms: rates quoted are per hour [minimum 1hr bookable] and exclusive of travel costs*. A minimum 24hrs notice of cancellation is required else the full fee is payable (I will try to offer an alternate slot, providing one is available)
* I can travel to local areas (prefer that students travel to me) and prefer areas that are easily accessible when traffic is taken into account. Journeys over 10 minutes incur an extra charge to cover expenses.
