Information about Rita

I am approachable,easygoing and pragmatic. My tutoring style is open discussion and practical application, that encourages active and creative participation in both my direct and online sessions to engage and promote interactive learning. I work with a wide range of content and materials, I encourage learners to understand from first principles,and in a step by step graduated way help them organise their knowledge and ideas, summarise, apply critical analysis (where appropriate) using techniques such as annotated notes, mind-maps and other methods that includes interactive media to optimise learning, memory retention and increase synoptic (bring it all together) understanding.

My approach helps to build confidence in the subject and the ability to learn and apply new knowledge by connecting topics and ideas, and then applying it. Once these techniques become second nature, you develop the ability to learn and revise more quickly .

Additionally, I tutor using resources and methods to support students meet their own specified education curriculum assessment criteria in exam questions; skills such as interpretation, summary, critical analysis, organisation and structure to present inferences ,insights and perception in their responses and, express themselves using key terms and more sophisticated vocabulary.

I have over 20 years tutoring and coaching in a wide range of subjects, all of which require a strong grounding in the use of English, and the application of the core knowledge and principles of Science and Maths. The emphasis in all of these is to support students become independent learners, expand their vocabulary, techniques that enable them to go beyond the explicit (what is being said), explore and interpret (infer) the (implicit) and demonstrate their written skills. This approach has been particularly helpful to students who have gaps in their learning, transitioning from one learning institution to another or have missed learning topics.

I tutor and support students with their learning and preparation from KS2 (including Sats, 11+) and connect this to their higher learning, especially the formative foundation Years 7-9 through to KS4 (GCSE) for all the curriculums,( Education Awarding Bodies) in English Language, English Literature,Maths and Sciences

It gives me real pleasure when students surprise themselves with their new understanding and impressed by their own capability.

Availability: I tutor face to face and online,during the day (for homeschooling), evenings and on weekends, subject to availability at my home or at your location, depending upon distance.
I have invested in interactive online tutoring systems for over 15 years, that enables true personal interactivity, is secure and easy to use and reliable tools that facilitate screen share, active reviewing and student writing notes. This is especially effective for exam preparation, assisting with dissertations and essays. These tools can also record a session for future revision and reference.

Willing to travel: Home Only

Experience: I have been privileged to acquire a wealth of experience in tutoring,counseling,coaching and supporting learners of all ages with a variety of learning styles and needs, in diverse situations locally and across the world in several subjects . As a result I have developed a range of flexible and adaptive methods and approaches,along with a variety of working tools that I can offer to learners, and help them build a great foundation for their future.

Miss Rita really helped in the small time I had to study for my English Language exam , not only did she make the lessons fun and interesting she happily explained to me everything I wasn`t able to understand and gave detailed and easy explanations. Miss Rita is a great teacher and I would recommend her to everyone who needs help in their English studies.

Tutors Response :

Thankyou Habiba. It was my pleasure. Best wishes for next Year.

Rita is an excellent tutor, knowledgeable and systematic, in just 5 lessons she identified the gaps in knowledge, developed a tutoring strategy, helped to get a better understanding of the subject and clarify difficult areas. Can`t recommend her more highly for Business studies.

My 11 year old daughter enjoyed having online lessons with Rita in preparation for taking 11+ exams. She always found them engaging and fun.

Rita`s idea of writing out notes displayed by her virtually, I think its time consuming and its not the best way of utilising the time we have and our resources.There is nothing wrong, if she sends me the materials after the lesson. From the SBL topic we covered, I realised that SBL was not her strongest subject. Rita encountered Internet problem at one point, we had to finish the rest of the lesson on our mobile phones.

Tutors Response :

Dear Babatunde,

Ii totally understand your feedback. The internet difficulties made the introduction session very awkward. I would have been quite happy to send you the notes .Also I`d have been happy lto reschedule the session(at no cost) at another time. Kind regards Rita

Rita is indeed very knowledgeable, kind and patient. She is the right teacher for parents who look for tuition for children in the primary school which include 11+. She also teaches pupils in A levels and adults too. For us, this is a trial lesson only. Unfortunately, we are unable to start the private tuition immediately because of some personal reasons.

Rita is a highly experienced, intelligent and wise tutor. Everything she does is carried with love and care and a good portion of humour. She delivers information to the point so cleverly that there`s no way any student will ever forget. My daughter absolutely adores her and is always looking forward to having lessons. How lucky are we to have found her! I can`t recommend her enough.

My daughter needed extra tuition and support with English GCSE mock exams. Rita has helped enormously in just a couple of sessions.

Rita is personable and professional. My daughter really looks forward to her tuition sessions with Rita and will continue to have extra support in preparation for her GCSE`s.

I highly recommend Rita.

Would not recommend this tutor lack of response. Even after buying her details i couldn`t get a lesson. After sending my documentation she just forgot about me ....

Tutors Response :

Dear Mantas, sorry you have felt this way. I did advise from the beginning that I could only commence after 22nd. I have in fact reviewed all your documentation but did not want to send you it without going through it with you as I did not want you to feel despondent. I am still happy to discuss it with you as I said but do not want to rush through it as there is a need for a lot of work. Rita

Mrs Rita is a truly fantastic tutor. She taught me everything I was afraid of in a very simple, patient and interesting way within a short period of time. Before seeking for help I had no idea that studying is nothing but a pleasure when you have a right person by your side. I am very lucky to find such a great tutor and I would highly recommend her to anyone. It was extremely effective and enjoyable.
