Donna

I am enthusiastic, approachable with a passion for helping students achieve what they thought they could not. My lessons are fun and interactive, I provide amazing resources that encourage learning and understanding, and homework is a must!
I have an excellent pass rate with my private students ranging from A* - C (9-4) raising some as much as FOUR grades higher than their predicted grades.
I tailor sessions to match my students` needs and incorporate their particular interests (football, music, fashion, gaming, things that 15/18-year-olds are actually interested in) to `hook` them into the subject.
In my latest cohort of GCSE students, June 2018, I raised a student from L3 (January 2018 mock) to a L7.
I did no work during lock-down as I prefer 1:1 but I can do a mixture if required.
