Rachael

I am a degree-educated tutor (BA English Literature) who loves to build confidence and skills in learners. I like to develop a trusting relationship with my students and offer a friendly manner with a good helping of humour along the way! This helps learners feel relaxed about asking for the help they need and allows for honest discussions about any anxieties around the subject. I work hard at identifying areas for improvement, instilling wider subject knowledge as well as targeting the key skills needed to improve GCSE English Language and Literature exam grades. Students in years 10 and 11 will benefit most from my style of teaching.

Availability: I am reasonably flexible during the weekdays so please enquire and I will do my best to accommodate.

Willing to travel: Home Only

Experience: Over the last two and a half years I have tutored with The Access Project - a charity that supports young people from under-resourced backgrounds.
I have three children that I have coached through GCSEs and beyond. Between them they achieved 3 grade 9s, 2 grade 8s and a grade 7 for English Language and Literature - all of them exceeding their predicted grades by some way. Now my older two children are living away from home, I have the time and energy to commit to more tutoring work and hope to have the chance to help you achieve your learning goals.
