Information about Yvonne
NEW to Barnstaple. Looking forward to meeting and helping new students in Devon!
Update: April 2019 - an 8yr old student received a commendation at her school assembly for her descri ptive writing and advanced vocabulary. 2019 A previously ungraded student has just achieved Grade 5 in his GCSE Mocks. A previously ungraded student has achieved Grade 7 in his GCSE re-takes.2018 Academic Year achievements to date - 5 GCSE `A`s 1 `B`. A Grammar School student`s grades rose from 80pc to 95pc; his teacher considers his work to be outstanding and of a high calibre. A student whose writing was initially illegible, then won a school handwriting competition. A 6yr old has progressed dramatically and is now assisting 7 & 8yr old pupils in her class. All other students have been commended on their progression at school.
I have been teaching for 11 years now and have two teaching qualifications. I am a friendly, kind, empathetic person with a good sense of humour enabling students to feel relaxed. In my experience if a tutor and student relate well and the student feels comfortable, at ease, and has fun, the learning process is enhanced and more productive.
I believe it is important that targets and goals are discussed and reviewed regularly to discuss progress and achievements so that the student`s self-esteem and self-confidence are boosted. Confidence is `key`. Learning should not be tedious, but a joy. I can `hand on heart` say that all my students look forward to their lessons.
I treat each student as an individual; I tailor and adapt tutoring to suit using appropriate learning styles and personality appropriateness.

Yvonne is amazing. Not only has she picked up quickly where my child needed the additional help, but understands how to get through with to them in a productive and helpful way. We can already see the progress in a couple of months :)

Yvonne has been tutoring my 16-year-old son since January 2018 (17 months). She was able to connect with him instantly and put him at ease. It did not take her long to create an environment of trust and build a great relationship with him. She has ability to instil confidence, turning learning into a positive experience.
The primary reason for Yvonne tutoring my son was to get his GCSE grades up. However, I feel she has achieved way more than this by building his self-confidence and self-belief. Yvonne is professional and friendly and has an excellent command over the subject. My son is currently sitting his GSCE’s and he feels so much more confidence that he will get the grade he wants.
Thank you so much, Yvonne
Tutors Response :

Yvonne has proved to be a great help to my daughter who is in her GCSE year. After her first session she came out saying ‘That was so good. “I have learnt more in one hour than I have in two years at school!” I cannot praise Yvonne enough. She is very kind, patient and in just a very short time has hugely boosted my daughter’s confidence in tackling her English GCSE.
