I treat every tutee as an individual and tailor my sessions to meet individual needs.
I believe in working with both parents and school subject teachers to help achieve positive goals for tutees.

Tutoring Approach

My rates and working hours are both competitive and flexible. Please contact me for more information.

Availability: weekday Evenings and weekends

Willing to travel within reasonable distance: but this has to be agreed upon as there may be an ADDITIONALcharge for longer distances (to travel to tutees).
My tutorials are based on the requirements of the national curriculum with special emphasis on meeting attainment targets for learners.

After a diagnostic test, I design a unique program for each learner and encourage both the learner and parents or guardians to evaluate progress on a session by session basis.

Parents are free to discuss their requirements with me and I always try and put their needs first.
I have a DBS - Enhance which is mandatory in my job.
