Helen

Hello,

I live in Sunderland. I have a B.A (Hons) degree and a Certificate in Education specialising in Maths and English and I have also attended relevant courses (for example in Dyslexia Awareness) and have a Counselling certificate.

I offer both online (via Skype and Zoom) and face to face tuition in English, Mathematics and ICT Key stages 1-4 (primary and secondary) and adults.

Availability: I am available weekdays (daytime and evening) and weekends
24 hours notice of cancellation please or unfortunately I have to charge for the session as I have prepared for it

Willing to travel: 5 miles

Experience: I have had approximately 30 years experience of teaching English, Maths and I C T and this has included helping pupils to prepare for the SATs tests. I have worked with children and adults on a one to one basis and in groups and fully understand the needs of both.

I have had extensive experience teaching in schools and am therefore familiar with the requirements of the national curriculum key stages 1,2 3 and 4.

I also have a vast array of resources and past exam papers and can also create resources that are tailor made for a specific pupil.

I enjoy working creatively and will tailor learning to the particular interests of the pupil if necessary as I feel that this makes the work more interesting and meaningful for them. I have established excellent relationships with pupils in the past and have a sensitive, caring and thoughtful approach.

In the first session I carry out an assessment in order to get an idea of the needs of the pupil and use this as a trial session. Pupils ( or tutor) don`t have to continue unless they are happy with everything.
