Tutoring Approach

Thorough planning and evaluation using assessment objectives and outcomes relevant to the programme of study; students are required to evaluate their own achievement and to gauge how to achieve what they require of themselves. They are required to complete all tasks set, to understand their level of competence and the ways in which this can be enhanced by them under my guidance.
I have alert emotional intelligence which enables me to inform students clearly of the requirements and to lead them to a rewarding outcome using their individual talents to shape effective responses in the challenging examination conditions they will encounter.
I encourage students to form an examination strategy which will lead to positive outcomes and which will alleviate the stress of the process.
Students look forward to enhancing their skills through a planned course of English learning with me and develop confidence in their individual aptitudes while understanding the requirements made of all students by examination boards to gain substantial reward.
Students are always reassured by my approach to teaching them and to learning because I combine understanding of them individually with a professional understanding of the requirements made of them by the course they are studying.
