Information about Felicity

I am an experienced tutor of English for all levels and ages who is currently working online. I have worked for Tutor Hunt for a number of years and have had a variety of students over this time, which I have tutored locally. The profile for repeat students is for the online tutoring only, but I have many students who stayed with me for some time when I was tutoring at my home or at the student`s home, depending on distance.

I have had good success rates with students passing exams and gaining confidence in their English Studies.

I am a helpful, creative and knowledgeable tutor with plenty of resources for students.

Availability: (Due to current situation I am only available online weekdays from 10am to 6pm.) (This may change in the future and I will update this information accordingly.) (Please note, I usually only tutor students from Year 5, Primary school upwards to adults. I am not available to tutor children from years 1 to 4.) In normal circumstances, I would be available weekday eves 4-6pm at home, and may be available Monday to Friday in the daytime between 9-4pm in Ashford by arrangement(on a bus route plus fares-Max £4.00), for home-schooled students, or others with day time availability. Areas outside Ashford, must be commutable by train, for example; Folkestone, Dover or Canterbury; or by bus, for example, Hythe or Tenterden and tuition must be for a minimum of two hours at a time, plus train or bus fares.

Tuition in my home is available for children up to 16 years and females over 16 only. I do not tutor adult males at home, but would consider going to their house, if they live with their family.

I am not usually available at weekends, long-term.

Willing to travel: 15 miles

Experience: I have over 30 years experience of tutoring both in the UK and Japan. I have taught students English on a one-to-one basis, in small and large classes in the private, independent and state sector. I am an experienced distance learning tutor eg online, by telephone, email and through the post.

I have also worked on a contract and agency basis in 6th form and FE Colleges. I have taught: EFL, ESL, Basic to Advanced English, IELTS, Business Communication,11+ Entrance Exams for Private Schools, Key Skills - Literacy, GCSE English(AQA), IGCSE English(EdExcel Pearson) - Lang and Lit, Key Stages 2/3 English, Speech Making, Spoken English, Interview Skills, Back to Work Skills, CV Writing, Elocution and Drama.

Great supportive teaching with really useful notes and links for every extract and poem. This really helped me to understand the IGCSE Edexcel English course.

Felicity is one of the most experienced tutors I have found. My son has scored grade 9 in both the English language and the literature, a very rare score for English, as he was guided by her. Highly recommend her.

It was 5 stars because you taught me a lot of things that I didn`t know and you also helped me whenever I was struggling on a word or question.Your teaching was very enjoyable and was understandable. I will recommend her to anyone who wants to learn and do well on the 11 plus.

Felicity is an excellent professional teacher in all respects; she is encouraging but appropriately challenging. She is extremely well prepared, reliable and knowledgeable, her standard of English is superb. Her gentle and encouraging teaching manner has make my son more confident in all aspects. Felicity is creative and trying hard to make lessons fun and enjoyable. I have found her to be a teacher of the highest standards and could not have wished more from a teacher. Quite simply, I could not recommend her highly enough.

Felicity is a very good teacher, and has provided me with many useful resources for different aspects of English (novels, plays, poems, exam technique, etc). I am also a lot more confident in dealing with exam questions, due to the regular homework I am set.

Facility is a very competent English tutor who can be relied upon to give spot on feedback at the critical practice stage of preparing for English Language GCSE. She helped my son to improve his GCSE English answers and I would highly recommend her and would request her services again.

We used Tutor Hunt and found Felicity who replied to our plea for help with our 16 year old son - who had been struggling with English at school and particularly poetry. Arranging a convenient time was easy as Felicity was very flexible, around our sons clubs and after school activities.
The help was catered to his weak points (poetry) and looking at general GCSE issues that specifically worried him. His results before christmas were expecting to fail - however his mock result has improved and now we hope and expect a pass and maybe a B! This has all been a result of extra classes with Felicity (since February) who we cannot thank enough. Our sons stress levels have decreased as a result of understanding what is expected of him. One to one classes have really helped, having someone good at teaching and English was essential - Felicity was the one. Cannot recommend enough. Thank you

I contacted Felicity to help my daughter with her English GCSE exam with which she had no confidence with and was afraid of not passing. With only weeks to go until the exam Felicity pinpointed weak areas in which she was able to improve on and her confidence grew.
I initially choose Felicity as I felt her qualifications and experience stood out and she was local. I was not disappointed, her knowledge and expertise in the subject was evident. I would definitely recommend her services as a tutor.

Felicity helped our son to improve his weak areas in English. He made a sudden leap in creative writing after getting Felicity as his tutor. Now he passed the Kent Test and Shepway Test. We are so pleased about her help and support to him.
