Leigh Martin

My lessons are warm, friendly and fast-paced, and they are always tailored to your needs. I begin by getting to know where you are and what you want to achieve, then plan each session around the skills we want to develop, focusing on key exam skills while building high-level vocabulary and confidence in the content you are learning. Lessons are interactive, so you will be an active part of every session. Every lesson uses a PowerPoint, which I can send to you afterwards so you can revisit what we have covered.

All of my students also have access to my bank of resources, including revision guides with built-in revision activities and vocabulary guides. I use frequent questioning and assess for learning throughout each lesson to make sure it is impactful, and I mark your work so that you receive valuable feedback on exactly which areas to improve.

I have 11 years of experience working with students of all needs and abilities, as well as four years as an exam marker, so I know what examiners are looking for and how to help you get there. I am also well practised at delivering interview practice lessons for schools and colleges. I have completed coaching courses, which allow me to encourage you to reach your potential while becoming more organised and diligent in your learning. Above all, I aim to build your confidence, so that you leave each lesson feeling more capable than when you arrived. I would love to help you achieve your goals.
