I have been teaching for 30 years and I have a large range of teaching experiences, from primary, secondary, through to adult education. However, most of my experience (20 years) has been in secondary schools, teaching KS3 and GCSE sciences. I have taught Biology, Chemistry and Physics up to GCSE level and I am familiar with the AQA and EDEXCEL specifications. I have given private tuition to a number of pupils who have acheived their target grades. I have very high expectations of all my pupils and I ensure that the teaching material/lessons are tailored to exactly what the students require. Most of my pupils went onto studying Sciences at a higher level. I enjoy teaching and have a caring, supportive approach in which the pupils feel comfortable, which is essential in order for them to develop and be able to ask for help and ask for help with anything they do not understand. Testimonials from pupils: "she always made sure that I understood the work by questioning me, and if I didn't she would go over it again and was very patient. She really wanted me to do well." "Any topics I did not understand in chemistry at school, she would go through the topics with me, and went through exam questions and exam techniques which gave me a lot of confidence . I actually began to enjoy the subject and got a grade 7 . Thank you." Testimonials from parent: "I could really see the difference in my son, he understood the subject better, even to the point his chemistry teacher at school noticed a difference in him. She worked very hard with him and never gave up. She was amazing."      

A highly experienced and enthusiastic teacher with 20 years of classroom experience and 2 years tutoring. i have an in-depth and thorough knowledge of the A-level chemistry specification which enables me to identify gaps in a students knowledge and explain clearly the concepts required. Students are given the tools to gain confidence in chemistry and build a strong knowledge base to succeed.  I always endeavour to teach even the most complex and difficult topics of chemistry in a simplified manner. Exam questions will be available and answers discussed for all questions. I teach the major exam boards, including AQA, OCR A, EDEXCEL on the new 2015 curriculum for England and Wales. I am a patient tutor with an informal approach to lessons that I adapt to the individual need of each student. I am passionate about discussion in Chemistry and wish to provide a space where students feel comfortable to ask questions or say they are unsure. Through continual praise and encouragement, I am well suited to be able to help students that are anxious or cannot grasp areas of their subjects. I am also happy to set homework questions to build upon the skills covered in the lessons, if agreed, and will mark and give feedback on any work completed. The platforms I use to teach online are Microsoft teams & Google meet. The ability to experience each student’s progress at every stage is incredibly rewarding and a wonderful part of my role as a tutor. I look forward to teaching your son/daughter!

I’m a highly experienced French tutor and have thorough subject and exam knowledge. I’m friendly, easy going and have had excellent results by building good relationships with my students. I offer french lessons from beginner level to experienced, no matter the age and expectations (whether it’s for school/exams or just if you want to learn a new language for fun). I can also offer my help with homework or any type of translation. I like to take some time during the first session to talk about your needs and expectations, evaluate your level and what I can bring you. And also just for you to decide wether you think I'm the right tutor for you. Once we've set an objective, we can start building the perfect lesson for you. I like working with books, songs, movies and anything that can make the lesson more interactive. Doing a little bit of translation and conversing in french if your level allows it or just focusing on the basics while going at your own pace. I can also give homework in between lessons if we've agreed to. The whole point is for you to feel confident, ask as many questions as you need and progress. My experience : I'm a native french Tutor. I studied in France and have experience giving both french and english private lessons. I've worked in a school in the past and therefore have a DBS Check. My goal is to make you or your child enjoy learning french, to make it fun, easy and help you actually understand what you're learning and not make it a chore. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. À bientôt ! Mélissa

Every child deserves an opportunity to reach their maximum potential.  I believe that if a child enjoys what they are learning then they will be motivated to listen, participate and ultimately achieve. I have a wide variety of experience working with SEND children and I understand that not everyone learns in the same way. Teaching is about adapting your strategies to meet the needs of the individual. As a mum of two children with ASD I fully comprehend the stress and pressures that are put upon parents to engage their children in learning. Therefore, I strive to create an enjoyable learning environment for your child to achieve their full potential and motivate them to want to learn. In addition to my work with SEND children I have a great deal of experience tutoring children in preparation for their exams, whether that is SATs or the 11+. I taught year 5 and 6 for many years and my subject knowledge is very up to date on exam questions and expectations, particularly in maths and science. Whether it is about building up confidence or honing in those exams techniques I would love to help. I have a gentle and friendly approach towards children and I always look for ways to help them make connections between the things they learn and for them to develop a love for learning. I believe that every child is truly special and unique. I have successfully tutored children with specific learning needs, as well as children that have English as an additional language. All my students have made excelled progress in their studies, therefore most of my students come from personal recommendations of happy parents  Supporting students reach their potential is something I find thoroughly rewarding. The platforms I use to teach online are Zoom and Microsoft teams. The ability to experience each student’s progress at every stage is incredibly rewarding and a wonderful part of my role as a tutor. I’m able to teach all core and foundation subjects in KS1 and KS2.  I look forward to teaching your son/daughter!
