Information about Grace

I am a fully certified secondary English Literature and Language teacher with over 10 years` experience in the classroom. In addition to this, I am a GCSE English examiner. This means I know exactly what is required of my students to achieve their target grade and I work with them to build the skills and confidence they need to succeed.

As a positive and enthusiastic tutor, I aim to build my pupils` confidence in and enjoyment of English. I have experience teaching a range of exam boards and support my students in ensuring they have a full understanding of the content they are required to know. I understand the pressures facing students as they prepare for exams and aim to alleviate this pressure through engaging and enjoyable sessions that equip pupils with the skills necessary to approach their exams with confidence.

I tailor lessons to each pupil`s individual needs and monitor progress regularly to ensure they are the getting the most out of every session. I provide all materials needed for the lessons, based on the exam board used by my students` schools and their own learning preferences.

As I know the importance of regular feedback to help students improve, I provide all of my GCSE and A Level students with a progress report every half term. This helps both my pupils and their parents/carers to gain a clear understanding of the progress made in lessons so far, current grade and next steps to be taken to achieve the best result possible.

Recently, I have supported a number of students through their 11+ or 13+ entrance exams with great success.

I also hold a TrinityCert TESOL and have experience teaching English as a Foreign Language, so can provide specialised support for students for whom English is a second language.

Availability: I am available for online lessons Mon-Thurs 2pm-8pm. Contact me to discuss availability.

Willing to travel: 3 miles

Experience: I hold a PGCE in Secondary English and QTS. I have taught KS3 and GCSE English Literature and Language in secondary schools in London and Brighton. I, therefore, have experience teaching a wide range of curricula and exam boards and ensure that students of any background make progress to meet their targets. I am also an examiner for AQA.

I have taught English as a Second Language in the UK, South Korea and Malaysia and can provide support for those who are learning English or need help with fine-tuning grammar or pronunciation.

My daughter had a series of lessons with Grace over the summer to help with exam skills. She really enjoyed the lessons and has become much more confident in English. Her teacher said that they have already seen an improvement in her school work this year. I highly recommend Grace as a tutor.

We have had two lessons so far with Grace, early indication is that she will be a very good tutor for our son. Grace has already begun adding additional support to our sons school curriculum, looking at comprehension and tactics for answering questions. We can already see Grace is engaging, knowledgable about the curriculum, uses time well and able to work on building confidence. Over time I hope we can add more to this list of attributes.
