I have multiple years experience teaching GCSE English in Surrey as well as providing private tuition for both English Language and English Literature, at all levels. I have an abundance of creative and innovative resources and most importantly will provide regular and detailed written feedback on what the student needs to do to make progress.

UNDERSTANDING THAT EVERY STUDENT IS DIFFERENT

This is a key principle behind my tutoring. Every student learns at a different pace and naturally are more drawn to some aspects of study than others. I will guide your child and encourage them to adopt a growth mindset so that they can learn and comprehend at their own pace.

 Unlike in the classroom, I create a relaxed study environment that is free of judgement, allowing students to return to basics and build confidence ahead of their GCSE or A Level exam.

BENEFITS OF ONE-TO-ONE ENGLISH TUITION

Schooling today is fast-paced, pressurised and highly demanding. Students can easily fall behind and subsequently not achieve their potential. It may be that a student has not understood a topic upon its initial introduction, with future lessons therefore failing to make sense. As a result, students switch off and decide that they “don’t like” or “can’t do” English. When this happens, students require additional, more personalised support in a nurturing and stress-free environment. This is where a private tutor steps in – to restore confidence and fill any gaps in your child’s learning. 

MY APPROACH

During private tuition, one of the first assessments that I will make is identifying the student’s preferred learning style. This is a crucial stage during which I get to know your child, discovering what makes them tick and what they don’t like. Finding what turns the key for a particular student is the foundation of effective GCSE and A Level revision. Once the preferred learning style is ascertained, I will tailor each lesson accordingly, and the learning resources used, to suit that style. This ensures maximum engagement during the lesson and increases the efficacy of the English tuition process.
