Information about Pridie
I am a fully qualified English teacher experienced in delivering outstanding teaching to children aged 11-18 years. I currently teach and support young people from a wide variety of backgrounds ranging from pupils who are home-educated to those receiving specific learning support, studying English as an additional language and working towards their GCSE and A-Level Language and Literature exams.
My fast paced, friendly and fun sessions reinvigorate the curriculum in a way that revives interest and enthuses students; rebuilding their confidence and sharpening the skills they need to dramatically improve their grades!
Online tuition is available. All that`s needed is a smart phone and a laptop. After an initial (free) introductory video call to meet with the student and discuss interests, learning style, strengths/anxieties about the subject, all tuition can take place using Google Documents and a variety of online video platforms e.g. Google Duo / Whatsapp video calls. The beauty of using Google docs is that we can work collaboratively together on pieces during the session - all my students love this and find that it`s particularly helpful when understanding exactly how to complete and amend work in order to gain really strong grades!
I teach English Language and English Literature to Key Stage 3, 4 (GCSE) and 5 (A Level) and coach both teaching colleagues and professionals outside the educational establishment in innovative and effective teaching and learning strategies. My independent Bristol-based company also designs and delivers outdoor-inspired creative story-crafting workshops to excite and inspire aspiring authors and reluctant readers alike!

If you are lucky enough to get Pridie as a tutor you will know that you could not find a more engaging, enthusiastic, brilliant teacher. She is so passionate about English Language and totally transformed my son`s ALevel interest in the subject. He achieved a grade above his prediction and secured a place at Cardiff Uni to study Journalism on the back of it. Her passion for the subject is infectious - she is fantastic!
