TUTORING
11+ Tutoring
Success at 11+ is about consistency and practice as well as ability. My approach with children who want to take the 11+ exam or sit entrance exams for Independent Schools is always tailored to the child's needs and requirements. I will often assess a child first to get an accurate picture of where they sit against the national picture to help decision making, and to make an informed plan of action. We work together on English, Maths, Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning, aiming to inspire the child to enjoy his or her learning, to build confidence and be excited by their progress.

Academic Assessment
Often parents simply do not have an accurate picture of how their child is performing in their learning, in relation to others of their age. Schools are not always able to provide this information. I offer an academic assessment service which gives parents an accurate picture of where their child sits against the national average in Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning, Reading and Spelling and age specific information in English and Maths. This enables informed decision making to take place about next steps.
Secondary Maths and English
Many people, adults included, struggle with Maths and English. I am receiving an increasing level of enquiry and bookings for these core subjects up to GCSE level. My approach is always to start with what each individual pupil needs, their own learning style, and what they find tricky. My style is always empathetic and patient, and I enjoy making a tailored action plan to suit each individual.
Getting Started
There is a great deal of demand for 11+ and secondary tuition. I always offer an initial tutoring session before any agreement is reached about further sessions- I believe it is important that there is a good relationship between myself and families for any tuition arrangement to work. I am happy to work online or in person in the Stratford-upon-Avon area. Costs depend on whether the service is online or requires me to travel.
I have 30 years of teaching experience and have enhanced DBS clearance. which I am happy to show any prospective clients. I am fully committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people.
