PLEASE NOTE THAT CURRENTLY I AM ONLY AVAILABLE FOR ONLINE TEACHING.

I am keen to tutor learners wishing to develop their basic literacy skills and use of English language. I am very experienced and can be available most evenings, and at most times throughout Fridays to Sundays. I hold a current DBS clearance.

I have worked in a range of schools and universities and have taught English as an additional language, literacy skills to learners with special educational needs, English at GCSE level, and undertaken work on academic literacy with students working at postgraduate level.

I work from the assumption that struggling learners will have low confidence but once this is addressed and they start to believe that they can make achievements, then they will! Alongside this, though, they will also need to develop their skills – confidence alone is not sufficient!

Availability: Weekday evenings and all day Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays

Willing to travel: 10 miles

Experience: Qualified teacher with 25 years experience of teaching infant through to adult learners, both in mainstream and special needs. My PhD focussed on the development of literacy skills. I remain employed within education and hold current DBS clearance.
