Personal Description:

Hello! My name is Sam and I am a fully qualified primary school teacher currently working in the South East Kent area. I have a first class degree in English, which is my area of specialism and am particularly skilled at teaching both adults and children to understand spelling rules, punctuation and grammar. I am able to tutor English up to A level standard.
I am confident tutoring across the entire primary curriculum, tailored specifically to your needs and currently tutor children and young adults in English, Maths and 11plus preparation. I have a current DBS (CRB) check which is registered to the update service and which I will bring to all initial sessions.

Tutoring Experience:

I have a range of teaching experience teaching in various primary school settings and have worked across the age ranges from reception to Year 6. I currently work in Year 6, where I am responsible for helping children make accelerated progress to achieve their potential in the SATs tests, as well as supporting our Year 5 children to prepare for their 11+ examination. In both my teaching job, as well as when tutoring, I have a proven track record of success, including 100% pass rate of children I have tutored for their 11 plus.

Tutoring Approach:

I am a firm believer in the importance of confidence and enthusiasm as a gateway to learning. I try to ensure each lesson is as engaging and enjoyable for the student as possible. I will meet the pupil (and parents if appropriate) to discuss what areas of study they wish to work on to ensure lessons are well targeted to their needs and I will carry out my own assessments in order to target any specific areas of weakness. Through this approach, I will ascertain whether the pupil harbours any misconceptions about concepts and work to correct these.
