Information about 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.
References are available.
Availability: After and before school
Weekends can be arranged
I am very flexible and happy to adapt to suit my students
You can come to my home office if you have a noisy home
Willing to travel: 5 miles
Experience: I am now semi-tired and have and have more flexibility (I am an early bird - are there any other out there over the age of 15?)
I have been teaching at a diverse sixth form college for the past ten years and privately for over 12 years.
These are my subjects of expertise:
GCSE, iGCSE - English, English Language, English Literature - all examination boards
A Level English Language, A Level English Literature, A Level English Language/Literature (combined). I cover both years, specialise in coursework and cover all examination boards.
I am both an examiner and moderator ( A Level coursework) for AQA, Edexcel, OCR, WJEC/Eduqas.

Tutors Response :
Thank you for your kind comments, Kavita. Your son is an extremely clever young man who needs to be stretched and challenged; he is more than capable of achieving very high levels in English.

Donna has been tutoring my daughter since September 2018. I have found her to be very committed, enthusiastic and helpful, supporting my daughter with English Language and Literature GCSE. She regularly provides me with feedback. I would highly recommend her as a Tutor. Val
