All private tuition takes place via Zoom. Why?

During lockdown 2020, we all had no choice, and we were all hesitant. Would this even work?

I discovered that not only does it work – it’s better!

We’re still face-to-face through the webcam – and properly face to face, instead of side-by-side.
We each have space to spread out, instead of trying to huddle over one book, and you don’t have to give up family space for lessons.
I can easily zoom in on sections of text and diagrams, making them easier to read than a printed book or worksheet.
I can hand over control of the screen for annotations or to play games, which makes for a really interactive experience.
If you think I am the right tutor for you, you can book me regardless of where you live

Maths and English

Maths and English are core subjects—the ones you need to go to college, university or to apply for most jobs. If you or your child are finding them tough, I can help.

I teach from year 3 (age 7) up to adult. No matter what your reason for learning, I can help. I am experienced in all aspects of year 6 SATs preparation, as well as helping pupils working towards their GCSE’s.

I can support with maths up to foundation level as well as English language and English literature (Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth, A Christmas Carol, An inspector calls, Blood Brothers and poetry).

Adults may have different reasons for wanting to learn, but whether it’s to understand how to help your children or grandchildren, to return to college yourselves, or just to boost your own confidence, I can help.

French and Spanish

I have loved languages for so long that I don’t remember a time when I wasn’t fascinated by them. Apparently, I was two when I told my bewildered parents that I wanted to learn French!

I love to share my enthusiasm for communication and you can learn languages with me in various ways:

Private lessons

For those still in school, I tutor Spanish up to GCSE and French up to A level. These lessons are usually one-to-one and they are created individually to support your requirements. However, if a group of you want to learn together let me know and we can arrange that.

For adults, I can create lessons to help you with business language for work, conversational skills for those wanting to relocate, or holiday language for those who just like to have a go.

Get in touch to discuss how I can help you reach your goals.

Public lessons

There are two ways to access these. I teach on a platform called Rest Less Events where you can access talks and classes on a range of topics, and I also occasionally offer group sessions through my Buy Me a Coffee page. Join my Facebook group to be notified of these.

Pre-recorded lessons

This is the cheapest option, but you won’t get personalised feedback with these. At present I have an 8 week beginners’ French course and an 8 week beginners’ Spanish course available, and you get a recorded video lesson with accompanying worksheets. You can buy these from my Buy Me a Coffee page, or visit my shop for links to individual lessons.

English as a Foreign Language

Maybe you live abroad and want to learn (or improve) English for holidays or for writing to pen friends… Or maybe you have moved to England and need some help so that you can go shopping or visit the doctor. Maybe your child needs to learn more English for their schoolwork… Or maybe you even want to take the exams for British citizenship. I have experience in all of these areas, so whatever your reasons, get in touch and we can talk about how I can help you.
