Personal Description:

I am a 50yr old lady teacher currently practising in Southampton school. I am teaching English in KS3 and KS4 and German GCSE. I enjoy playing the violin in a local orchestra and walking my dog in the countryside near where I live. As an English teacher I am obviously an avid reader, a hobby I like to pass on to pupils in my care!

Teaching Experience:

I have been teaching for 19years. I was trained as a MFL teacher and taught French and German. 12 years ago I was offered some English teaching (my degree was in English and German) and I now teach English full time. I have a good track record of success at GCSE in French, German, English and English Literature.

Teaching Approach:

I have tutored young people and adults in the past and have always found it better to follow the tutee's needs and requirements. I would be happy to help with class and homework tasks, but would also be quite willing to provide new resources/workbooks, if these were needed.

From Helen (5/5): Mary is great. Very reliable and a fantastic tutor.

Reply from: Mary: Really glad you found me on here, Helen!

From Biju (5/5): Ms Mary has been very helpful and could identify my son's learning needs. She planned her lesson to match his requirements and we are very pleased with the rate of improvement for my son. Ms is very friendly and easily approachable. Responds to any queries very promptly. We are very grateful to Ms for all her help for my son.

From Susan (5/5): Fantastic Tutor - Mary tutored both my sons for English Language, English Literature and German over 6 years.

Mary is very patient, very knowledgeable and gives regular feedback on progress.

Would thoroughly recommend her.

Reply from: Mary: It's been a pleasure being part of your family over the past years!

From Martha (5/5): Excellent tutor. Would highly recommend. Very good with younger children (my daughter was nine). Also good with adults! Enjoyed our german lessons very much.

Reply from: Mary: Thanks for your comments Martha - it was a real pleasure spending time with yourself and Elske. I hope all is well in Germany!

From Lindsey (5/5): Many thanks for helping my daughter to build her confidence in English, and with the revision required for her GCSE exams. She was very comfortable with you and your teaching style, and hopefully will achieve good results in her exams.

Reply from: Mary: Thank you for your comments Lindsey! It was a pleasure working with Sophy - she is a lovely girl and very studious indeed. I do hope that she receives the grades that she deserves and wish her all the best for her college courses.

From Judith (5/5): Alexandra is really enjoying tuition with
Mary and is benefiting from lessons.
Mary is very flexible and makes Alexandra very welcome.

From Wendy (5/5): Mary is a kind caring person who is clearly passionate and knowledgeable about her subject. It would be impossible for her enthusiam not to rub off off on students. Mary is flexible and gears all sessions to the needs of the student and current themes being taught in the student's school.

Our daughter has never enjoyed English and although we are not at that stage yet, she's never moaned about having to attend a tutoring session. Which trust me is very good sign!

Thank you for your help Mary

From Freya (5/5): Freya is extremely happy with Marys help. It is great to work with someone who focuses specifically on those areas of the curriculum which need support.
