Maria

I am passionate about my subject and teaching.

As a warm and friendly person I`m able to build positive relationships with my students. Students feel safe, both intellectually and emotionally, during my lessons, which enables them to gain in confidence and make speedy progress. It`s my goal for all students to feel secure in all that is asked of them so that they can do their very best. My lessons are fun and focused - I have high expectations of all my students.

Availability: I`m flexible in the hours that I`m able to teach during the day. However, my after school hours are:
3.30 - 4.30 pm
4.45 - 5.45 pm
6 - 7 pm
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.

On Saturday I`m available from:
10 - 11 am
11 - 12

My preference is to work face to face with students, however I am prepared to also teach remotely.

Willing to travel: Home Only

Experience: Having successfully taught English at secondary level for over 30 years - 21 of which were at the Castle School, Taunton - I became a private tutor in 2019. I`ve enjoyed the variety of work that my current freedom has afforded me. I`ve worked as an examiner for the AQA Examining Board (Summer 2019), taught students in care and given extra support to Pupil Premium students. I am thrilled that I am still able to make a difference
