Experience: Whether your child is underachieving at school or college, or you are a university student struggling with your course, specialist 1-1 tutoring can increase confidence and boost grades. With over 20 years teaching English language and literature, I am a highly qualified, experienced specialist tutor who helps students achieve their very best. As well as teaching mainstream English, I have extensive experience of working 1-1 with students with specific learning difficulties – including dyslexia, dyspraxia, AD(H)D, autistic spectrum disorder – and anxiety.

I have a friendly, flexible approach which is tailored to the needs of the individual. I quickly identify any barriers to learning and work with students’ strengths to develop effective strategies and study skills. This will enable them maximise their academic potential and rediscover their love of learning.

I regularly take part in CPD and have attended many training courses on specific learning difficulties, autistic spectrum disorder, mental health difficulties and supporting students in the transition to university. I hold an enhanced DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) certificate, dated August 2020 and full Professional Indemnity and Public Liability insurance.
