Linda
I am a well-qualified and experienced English and entrance exams tutor with over 24 years' experience. I work in local schools and privately. I am available during the day, evenings and Saturdays.
Tutoring Experience
I teach all exam boards for English GCSE. I also work as an entrance exams tutor at 11, 12 and at 13. If a parent is happy to do this, my son does the Maths and non-Verbal Reasoning parts of the 11+. He has four years' experience with this. He currently studies Physics at university, so is only available online.
I mainly work one-to-one with students, but also work with pairs and small groups of three where possible.
My special needs pupils are very dear to me: I have experience with dyslexic, dyspraxic, attention deficit, and high-functioning autistic students of all ages.
I also work with adults.
Tutoring Approach
I aim to make my sessions interesting and enjoyable as well as educational. I use a wide variety of resources including: books, interactive internet sites, educational games, and videos. I also write my own resources.
I teach one-to-one, in carefully matched pairs, or in groups of three at less cost to you.
11+ is £30 an hour for a place in a group of 3. Individual rate is £55.
GCSE English is £35 an hour in pair or a bespoke group of three, or £55 individually.
