I am a fully qualified English teacher who has had to retire from full time classroom teaching due to ill health and disability. I am an extremely competent and professional teacher, and would like to continue with my vocation, teaching, to the best of my ability. To this extent I would like to offer my skills as a tutor for students up to, and including, A'Level. My students have achieved excellent results and I have also proved to be very talented at raising students results from those predicted to 1 to 3 levels higher. I have experience of working with students at all levels, from those who may struggle with the subject to those who need an extra challenge that they may feel they are not getting in the classroom. I am also experienced at teaching students with special educational needs, including Autism, Asperger's Syndrome, Cerebal Palsy, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, Dyscalcula, Deafness and visibility impairment, SPLD and many others.

Availability: I am very flexible and am available during the day as well as in the evening. I would prefer to teach from my home in St. Paul's in Cheltenham as I have mobility difficulties which prevent me from travelling very far however alternative arrangements are negotiable.

Willing to travel: 2 miles

Experience: I have been an English Teacher for 3 years (4 including my training year). I was also a school ambassador and mentor during my degree and tutored to GCSE level while studying for my A'Levels. Over the course of the previous year I have tutored a variety of young people with a good deal of success: an A2 Level student achieved an A grade in English Literature, which guaranteed her place in her chosen university; a GCSE student who was predicted C grades achieved an A in English Literature and a B in English which has enabled her to continue her studies in 6th Form; also a Year 10 student has improved his coursework grade from a predicted C/D grade to an A/B grade. I am obviously very proud of my students results and feel they offer evidence of my skills as a tutor.

I could not have asked for a better tutor. Lisa has worked miracles tutoring me A Level Philosophy and Ethics, after being let down by my sixth form Lisa took over as my teacher and has put in so much effort to help me through. She is very easy to talk to, but also passionate, enthusiastic and extremely dedicated as well as flexible. Do not know where I would be without Lisa, I would highly recommend her. Thank-you so much Lisa, I would not be going to University without you.
