Information about Heather

Hi! My name is Heather and I’m English & Maths tutor with 4 years’ teaching experience and a First-Class degree in English Literature. I have taught students from age 5-35, with success in helping students prepare for their SATs, GCSEs, IELTS exams and university admissions, including Cambridge. More recently, I have started virtually home-schooling some of my tutees to help with their studies during the Covid-19 pandemic. I also have experience working with students who have special needs and am currently working towards my Master’s in Special Educational Needs to develop these skills further.

Willing to travel: Home Only

Experience: I have 4 years’ experience working as a tutor, both online and face-to-face. This has been quite wide ranging, as I have worked with students from age 5-35, as well as students who have a range of special or additional learning needs (such as ADHD, Autism and Down Syndrome).

Primary Education Experience: I have worked with a number of students to improve their reading comprehension, fluency, creative writing skills and grammar. I have also helped students with their English SATs preparation and have taught primary level Maths, History and Science. More recently, I have started virtually home-schooling some of my tutees, to give them extra educational support throughout the Covid-19 pandemic.

Secondary Education Experience: I have experience tutoring students in KS3 English and Maths, GCSE English Language and GCSE English Literature. I have also supported students who were getting ready to apply to university (with support for writing their personal statements, preparing for their Oxford entrance exams etc).

EFL experience: I have taught EFL students of all ages and ability levels (from beginner through to advanced). This has included IELTS preparation and support with university applications (personal statements/ essays). I have also worked with younger students who are at the beginner/ pre-intermediate stages, building up their confidence, fluency, vocabulary and understanding.

As I am new to this platform, I have included some of my existing students’ feedback below. I can provide further references on request.

Singyi from Taiwan (children aged 8 and 10): Thank you for everything you`ve done for kids :) They really enjoy the classes with you.

Philippa from the UK (children aged 10 and 12): Thanks for all your help with Archie’s story! He seemed very pleased with himself about it today! Thanks for all your hard work with them.

Lily from Australia (twins aged 6):
I can see that Eddie’s reading is getting better and better. Thank you, Heather. You are amazing. I like how you talk about the story with him and help him to retell it. It’s is really helping him to improve. Great job!

Sky from China (child aged 12)
You are an angel and amazing tutor, I am so grateful for your patience with Rosina and us.

Approach

I believe that learning should be fun and tailored to the student. I personalise all my lessons to each student’s individual interests and needs. For some of my students, this means structured classes with reading comprehension, creative writing practice and games. For others, it means mock tests or grammar practice, whilst some EFL learners prefer more relaxed, conversational practice. Once I understand what my student’s goals and needs are, I plan my lessons around them. I am kind and patient and my students often comment about how much they enjoy our sessions and how comfortable they feel with me as their tutor.

Heather is lovely. She is very kind and patient with my grand daughter. Heather takes time to explain the learning, going over anything that is not understood. She always asks if the are any issues and will adapt the lesson appropriately.
