I offer a first free 30 minute session for getting to know you and assessment purposes. I tutor all levels from KS2 upwards and I am also an experienced 11+, 13+ and Entrance Exams English tutor. I tutor at KS3, KS4 and KS5 and for all the main exam boards at G.C.S.E, I.G.C.S.E and A`Level including AQA and Edexcel. In addition, I currently deliver online tuition to students, many of whom I prepare for the academically selective school admission process. I also deliver EAL/EFL tuition to international students who are preparing for Entrance Examinations and/or IELTS and support EAL students already at top independent schools in the UK. I have particular experience with students whose first language is Chinese, helping them to elevate their vocabulary and writing skills. I have also designed and taught small group courses for children aiming for 11+ or 13+ and examples of these courses are Vocabulary Enrichment; Creative Writing; Persuasive Writing and Reading Comprehension Skills.
