I offer affordable English tutoring for any age up to 18

My first session will include getting to know you and what you want to get out of tutoring, particularly the areas of the subject that you are least confident in. I will also find out how you learn best and I will use this information to create a tailored learning plan for you.

I have experience of tutoring through the Coachbright programme, during which I delivered one-on-one tutoring to students in English in a similar format as described below.

Lessons will consist of an introduction to the topic and some questions/problems to work through, which I will support you in doing. Questions will be exam-style (previous exam questions when possible), and we will discuss how you would go about answering the question, what information you need to include, structure etc. We will then look through the mark schemes and use them to mark your work, highlighting where you did well and what improvements can be made for next time. At the end of each session, we will reflect on what went well and what you would like to cover in the future.
Sessions may also include you writing your own questions and mark schemes, which will help to consolidate your understanding of the topic and how questions are written.
Over time, we will build up your question answering skills so that you feel confident to answer them by yourself, including relevant information and making sure you fully understand how to achieve the best marks (although it's not all about marks and scores!!). I will, of course, be there to support you through this journey so that you can get the most out of our sessions together.
