Information about Leigh
Hello,
I`m Leigh and I have been working as the head of the English and humanities curriculum at Wycombe Abbey School Hong Kong and have just moved back to England to take on the same role in a school based in south London. In the past, I have also worked as an (Ofsted rated Outstanding) teacher of history and religious education. As a result, I am able to provide fantastic primary level English lessons for students in key stages 1-4. My English lessons go above and beyond what is listed on the National Curriculum learning expectations and can fully cover English grammar (something which is often omitted from primary school curriculums). I have a proven track record of successful SAT exam results and promising results from students I have tutored for their 11+ examinations.
In addition to this, I am also able to provide history tuition to students at all levels, but am particularly well suited to teaching GCSE history due to my past experience as a history teacher, and have taught a range of GCSE papers including Edexcel and AQA.
Having worked as a teacher for the past 5 years, I have a wealth of experience working with students with additional learning needs, and students who are learning English for the first time. Every tutoring session will include pre-printed work sheets/ activity booklets/ revision packs which will help to ensure tutees reach fantastic outcomes in their education.
