day. I believe that knowledge and learning must also be complimented by competent examination techniques to ensure the learner achieves their full potential and best grade possible. At University Level I have tutored a 2nd year undergraduate who required help with critical essays and reports.

at Higher and will not accept 'C' passes. In my experience most pupils fail English or perform poorly due to a lack of vocabulary.

Additionally, as every child is an individual they struggle with different aspects of the curriculum. Hence, my lessons are tailored to accommodate each student's...

Sessions for younger children will generally be...

One of the most important aspects of tutoring is building confidence by showing tutees they can accomplish what they sometimes think they cannot. I am confident, patient and encouraging as I take a tutee methodically through the qualification they hope to achieve.

We are able to work through these, build confidence and increase understanding...

a passion for helping children, young people and adults to understand and appreciate the wonderful intricacies of the English language and its literature.

I am a very intuitive...

Then I help them to pick out the most important quotes, therefore simplifying the learning process. Finally, I teach my pupils how to use mind maps, and plan their essay. The planning stage is key, as it helps to develop structure when writing the essay, engages the...
