By supporting, encouraging and challenging my students, together we have achieved excellent results. A number of my students were predicted D grades prior to coming to me, however, through our hard work and determination, every one improved their grades significantly - with many achieving top marks in the final exam.

Apart from the obvious academic improvements, parents report that since studying with me, their children’s confidence in their English skills and abilities has soared and they have begun to really enjoy the subject.

I have experience working with students with dyslexia, visual stress, etc and together we work on techniques to ensure their full potential is achieved.

In addition, I also help writing UCAS personal statements and proofreading university theses and dissertations.
