Marianne Willis

As both a mother and a teacher, I have over 30 years’ experience supporting children and adults to thrive in a learning environment. Let's see how I can support you with your particular learning needs.

I’m passionate about empowering students by demystifying the needless complexity that often surrounds a subject. I believe that breaking things down and simplifying them can completely change a student's experience for the better and make learning much more enjoyable.

In my teaching I use multiple approaches in order to encompass the unique learning style of individual students; some people are visual, some auditory, others need to be ‘hands-on’ and experiential, others a combination – everyone is different.

I use a lot of repetition and simple language, in order to embed information in a way that feels natural and effortless and helps to bypass the mental blocks that are created when we overcomplicate things. I also like to create a relaxed but disciplined atmosphere, as I know that stress and anxiety are counterproductive to learning.

I believe that all students have innate ability, it’s merely expressed in different ways and that treating you with patience and respect will help to bring out your inner brilliance and cultivate your self-confidence.

I’m a native English speaker.
I have O level (GCSE) English Language & Literature
I am educated to university level (medical sciences).
