Jane

I have recently left St Georges Ascot and I have over 25 years teaching experience in both the state and independent sectors. I spent 14 years at The Abbey, Reading which is a leading IB school: I led the International Baccalaureate and Cambridge iGCSE. My classes achieved outstanding valued added progression and examination success at IB, A Level and GCSE. I have also been a Head of Department at Maidenhead College where I was responsible for raising whole school literacy standards. I am an examiner for Edexcel, AQA and the IB: this enables me to integrate the feedback from the examination boards directly into my tutoring.

Tutoring Experience

I have much experience of teaching IB, A Level and GCSE in English and English Literature.I have also written and marked Year 6 Common Entrance and Scholarship exams and I am also happy to tutor younger children to prepare them for these examinations and to improve their reading, comprehensions skills and understanding of grammar. I have experience of teaching English as a Foreign language and spent a year in Sweden tutoring on-line.

Tutoring Approach

I consider myself to be a patient, positive and motivating tutor who can personalise learning and develop strategies to overcome any obstacles and develop a lifelong love of English and Literature. In my tailored approach, I make learning fun as well as teaching the necessary skills and frameworks for my students to become independent learners.
