about me as a tutor

what i offer

Every student comes to me at a different stage in their learning and i work closely with them (and you, the parents) to arrange a bespoke programme of study that will most benefit them as an individual.

typically, i offer online, one-to-one tutoring sessions that last one hour per session. within those sessions we can work to develop writing skills and exam technique, improve essays and coursework pieces, deepen understanding of set texts, provide feedback on assessments, explore time management strategies and pretty much anything in between!

We will set up an individualised Google classroom where i can set weekly tasks, deliver marked work, provide resources and answers questions in between sessions.

usual prices are £60/hour for ks3 and gcse, £75/hour for a-level. THIS includes one piece of marked work per week, access to all resources, a personal google classroom, chats in between sessions, etc.

Get in touch

the best way to know whether i will be the right tutor for your child is for us to have an initial discussion together.

this is totally free and will help us to work out a programme of sessions that is tailored to your child’s individual needs.

just fill in some basic information below and I will get back to you as soon as I can. let’s get the ball rolling!
