Anne-marie

I am a UK- qualified,former head teacher. I trained at The Institute of Education, University of London and have a Master`s degree in Education and a Bachelor`s degree in Religion and Philosophy. I currently work for Virtual School as a tutor for looked-after children. For the past twenty years I have taught GCSE Maths, English Lit, English Language; A level English Literature, and Essay Writing as a private tutor.

Availability: In the summer holidays I am available during the day 9- 5pm, and during the weekends. I prefer to teach online but am prepared to travel within a 1 mile radius of where I live in Redbridge.

In the first instance, parents should email me through this site so that I can establish how I can specifically help their child with their precise learning needs.

Willing to travel: 1 miles

Experience: I have over thirty years experience in the education sector as a class teacher, deputy head teacher, head teacher. education consultant and inspector of church schools. For the past twenty years I have taught KS2-3 Maths and English, GCSE Maths, English Lit, English Language, A level English Literature, and Essay Writing as a private tutor.
I am an experienced and patient teacher whose primary aim is to provide a safe and nurturing learning environment in which children can improve their grades and become confident, happy, and successful learners.

I work with children from KS2 (including 11+ prep) right up to GCSE, and I especially enjoy working with children and young people who have an SEN or are stuck in lower sets.

In my online classes, I use fun and challenging teaching apps, games and presentations to keep your child engaged and focused throughout. These resources are available for practice and review outside the lessons.

MATHS
KS 2-3
Maths is so much more than just writing down the right answer on a worksheet! In these lessons children review and practice maths fundamentals such as Four Operations, Properties of Shape, and Data in the context of engaging challenging activities and investigations that help them understand how these key maths concepts apply in real life contexts.

Children learn, practice and review the skills and assessment objectives for GCSE Foundation and Higher maths covering maths topics for GCSE grades 3- 6. My approach iis idealf or children who are struggling ith the fundamentals of the maths curriculum and are currently predicted Grade 3 or below in their GCSEs.
