Debra

I have been a tutor/teacher for 8 years, working on both a 1-1 basis and in classrooms. I love the English language and literature, so I find teaching English a pleasure. I also love teaching English as a foreign language and have experience in both online, classroom and 1-1. I am currently tutoring primary/junior students for their 7+ exams and 11+ exams, whilst also helping students to prepare for IELTS, Cambridge Advanced and GCSE English and Maths. I am happy to travel to student`s homes or to teach students in my own home and cover Bournemouth, Poole, Ringwood, Verwood, Ferndown, the New Forest and Swanage.

Willing to travel: 10 miles
