HOME SCHOOLING , GCSE, AS AND A-LEVEL ENGLISH, HISTORY & PSYCHOLOGY SPECIALIST

With 10 years of teaching experience, I am able to provide an innovative approach and, through using my tried and tested methods,I am proud to state that we have a 100% track record of helping each of my students jump at least two academic grades, thereby achieving a grade which is much higher than their school predicted grades.

I understand that each student is different and I can quickly identity how best to motivate, encourage and ensure each of my students` succeed to the best of their ability, often unlocking unknown potential. I am able to guarantee that each of my students learns quickly and efficiently in order to sit their exams with complete confidence.

After an initial introductory lesson, I provide tailor made solutions, geared towards the individual needs of the students. I provide a plan of action with the student`s grade of ability and the number of hours needed to see an improvement within the first four to six weeks. Following this, I provide a unit test in which I will see a marked improvement within the student`s grade. We also see a complete change in the student as his/her confidence grows and so does his/her sense of fulfillment.

Speed Learning
I am a pioneer in learning techniques and focus on getting the student to the required level as quickly as possible. The main aim being to ensure that the pupil is ready for his/her exam as soon as possible, without rushing them unduly. This approach will be shared with students as part of the tuition service.

Fast Track Service:
I all know students can leave it late when preparing for examinations. To cater for this, I can organise intensive learning sessions, comprising of specific question and answer routines, to get them ready for the big day.

All Examination Boards Covered
Examinations boards are constantly updating their syllabuses and papers – I ensure you are focusing on the right stuff.

Focus On Core Subjects
I`m not one of those ‘jack-of-all-trades’ tutors that offers every subject under the sun. I provide tutoring for the core humanity subjects in school.

Is there any evidence to show having a Tutor leads to better results?
Research carried out by a number of specialist agencies such as the Institute of Education and the Sutton Trust have shown that pupils who receive private tuition achieve better results than their counterparts who rely on just a normal school education. In London, it’s estimated that over 40% of children receive tuition at some point during their time at school – as a result of overcrowded classrooms and poor teaching standards.

Availability: I am available during the day, evenings and weekend as I am a full time tutor.

Willing to travel: 2 miles

Experience: I have a wealth of teaching experience having taught a wide range of children. My teaching methods and experience has enabled many pupils to successfully get into a variety of Universities (including Kings College, LSE, Warwick, Durham) and Grammar Schools (including Tiffin Girls, Langley. Slough Grammar etc). I have also helped to achieve level 6 at KS2, A grade in History and English at GCSE and A-Level. I am able to assist students in building their confidence, reaching their full potentials and stretching their abilities whilst maintaining high academic performances.

I also have strong experience in home schooling - I am a dedicated, full time tutor and currently home school students 5-6 days per week. I specialise in working with students who cannot attend mainstream education for a variety of reasons (e.g. gifted students, depression) and help them to excel.

I am an enthusiastic, friendly and supportive teacher who recognises that every student is different in their needs and abilities and as such tailors my teaching techniques accordingly.

I generally aim to help my students jump at least 1-2 academic grades - this year, my students all achieved A*- B grades, with some at D level before they started tutoring with me.

DBS Check: Yes
