Having taught in both Primary and Secondary Schools over the last few years, I am now working as a supply teacher in both Gloucestershire and Wiltshire.
There are several ways I help my pupils. Firstly, I can re teach topics they have found difficult in the past. There are many ways of approaching subjects and different methods suit different pupils. In a classroom situation, there might not be the opportunity to adapt learning for individual children.
Many children worry so much about making mistakes that it restricts their progress. I can structure their work so that they are supported as much as they need they, therefore, make fewer errors and their confidence improves.
Sometimes, pupils appear to be doing OK in class, but then struggle when it comes to tests and examinations. This can be improved by studying lots of test type questions, using lots of short revision questions each week and also by encouraging the students to check their answers at every stage.
Finally, I try to make the tutoring sessions as enjoyable as possible. If the student is not relaxed and happy, they will not be doing their best.
Availability: After school Monday to Friday

Willing to travel: Home Only
Experience: I have an honours degree in science and a P.G.C.E. teaching qualification. Teaching in both Primary and secondary schools has given me a wide range of experience in Maths, Science and English.
During the last few years, I have coached pupils from 6 to 16.Although I have occasionally visited pupils in their homes, I now ask pupils to visit me, so that I have access to a larger range of resources

If your child is struggling with science you should definitely contact Wendy. Our daughter had lost confidence in her ability in do Chemistry but ended up passing her GCSE with ease. Wendy is lovely and will put your child at ease so they feel they feel able to ask her questions about anything. Can’t recommend her enough. 😊;;😊;;😊;;😊;;😊;;

My daughter has only just started with GCSE chemistry lessons with Wendy. She really enjoys her lessons. Her confidence is back after just couple of lessons and I am sure by end of the school year results will be great. Thank you Wendy.

We`ve actually met Wendy at home for an initial meeting with my daughter with a view to her being Cerys` Maths teacher. Lessons commence early September. She put Cerys at her ease and all looks very promising as this is the start of education outside of the mainstream secondary sector

Wendy engaged with my reluctant 8 year old very quickly. She is now keen to go along for her sessions. Wendy has covered many topics and increased her confidence to tackle challenging topics. Wendy also gives detailed, helpful feedback on each session.

My Grandson had a few lessons during the holidays, and found Wendy very good at explaining the areas he was having trouble with. We shall not hesitate to go back to her in the future for more tuition.

We have found Wendy to be great with our 10 year old reluctant maths pupil. She makes the lessons fun and enjoyable for him - he is always happy when she comes and willingly tries his best. His maths has definitely improved after just a few lessons
