Rowena

I am an enthusiastic, professional and patient tutor. As a qualified, experienced teacher with a B.A.(Hons.) English degree, I ensure that learning is targeted to the particular interests and learning style of each student as success is achieved. Dedicated to motivating pupils, I aim to make each learning experience exciting and challenging.

My genuine interest in learners and my sensitivity to their individual needs enable me to develop a strong rapport. I particularly enjoy seeing students make progress through the personalised process that tuition provides as they grow in confidence and competence.

Availability: All day: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday

Willing to travel: Home Only

Experience: I have taught in schools and colleges in the UK and also abroad. I undertook West Berkshire County Council training to run one-to-one tuition in primary and secondary schools, which I was involved in for seven years. Prior to this, I offered Maths, English, 11+, 13+ and Common Entrance tuition for five years where I was living in Surrey.  I have also worked as an examiner for AQA A level English. This has given me an insight into the assessment process and has enhanced my teaching of study skills, revision and exam techniques.

I have prepared students for successful entry into grammar and independent schools in West Berkshire, Surrey and West Sussex. Details available on request. As well as school entrance exams, I can help students prepare for interviews as required.

I also offer home-schooling during the school day.
