Wendy

Committed and enthusiastic English teacher with 5 years of classroom experience, both within the state and private sector. Providing personalised and tailored 1-2-1 sessions for pupils ages 11-16, with particular focus on GCSE prep. I specialise in English Literature but am able to also provide comprehensive English Language sessions. I have experience working with various exam boards such as AQA and Edexcel iGCSE.
I love what I do and I customise each session to match your needs, whether you are more of a verbal learner and prefer to vocalise before you get your pen to paper or would sooner just get your head down and write!

A voracious reader myself, I also encourage all pupils to indulge in reading! I am happy to provide age appropriate recommendations as I understand the impact and importance of reading on young minds and the influence it has upon written work!

Tutoring Experience

Qualified teacher with almost half a decade of classroom experience within Secondary schools.
3 years experience as private tutor, providing 1-2-1 sessions in English Literature and Language with specific focus on GCSE prep.

Tutoring Approach

Offering focused 1-2-1 sessions for every pupil which are tailored to their specific needs. Within the first initial sessions, I will carefully assess and apply the most suitable teaching methods needed to engage and support each pupil.
I provide task specific worksheets and materials to aid each session, including past papers.
