Lesson Details : 60min (1 time(s) per week)Hello, my name is Leah and my passion in life is helping people. I am an extremely patient, professional, skilled teacher who is extremely popular with students and families because I am friendly and fun. I love learning myself and enjoy passing that passion on to students
I have been teaching for 15 years (5 years English for adults and 10 years in UK primary schools). I work part time in an Outstanding school and have been part of a team achieving excellent SATS results for the last 5 years. I am very good at analysing students` weaknesses and knowing how to move them forward.
I am a trained examiner for an adult English language skills examination board, and I also have experience working with refugees, asylum seekers and vulnerable adults and children. I lived in Portugal for 4 years and I am very proficient in Portuguese, studying at the ISCTE in Lisbon. I am also a trained Spanish teacher for primary and have lived and worked In Barcelona. I completed part of my teacher training in Gran Canaria. I also studied Arabic for 2 years and reached A-Level French, so as you can see I love learning languages!
I have also been writing scri pts for radio, TV and film for the last 5 years. I love films, books, creative writing, theatre, cycling, swimming, travel and languages.
*PLEASE NOTE* I have very limited availability at the moment but it is still worth dropping me a line to enquire as things often change!
Availability: Monday/Tuesday daytime availability
After school/weekend- this is now very limited but please contact me anyway as we may be able to work something out!
Preference is always given to people living close to me as I mostly travel by bike :0)

Leah is an excellent English tutor. She is vivid and friendly, and gives me energy on every lesson. She has many experiences of teaching ever. Moreover, particular in languages, she has experienced her own learning several other languages. Thus her English lesson is very effective, helpful, and practical based on these her experiences. She takes time enough to prepare for our lessons, and carries out the lessons politely and warmly. I look forward to her lesson every time! (English / adult learner)

Leah has been tutoring our daughter in maths for the last 4 weeks and we are very happy. Leah is friendly and approachable, she arrives promptly and gives good feedback at the end of the session. We were looking for someone who has experience of year 6, SATS and children with special educational needs - Leah has all this experience. Our daughter likes Leah and we don`t have any battles getting her to do the weekly homework. The homework is often fun and the whole family have got involved!
