Tutoring Approach

I aim to give students the confidence to approach their exams and controlled assessments fully prepared through skills based teaching and independent learning. Approaching texts, questioning writer's intentions and forming analysis as well as nurturing a creative and imaginative approach to their own writing.

I will fully prepare and tailor sessions to the individual student's needs after an initial consultation where these will be ascertained.

Prices are £60 an hour which includes tailored planning and preparation, teaching time, marking feedback, and a monthly report on progress.

Session location can be agreed on consultation.
