Numeracy (KS2) – Literacy – GCSE English – Art – Sociology – A Level Critical Thinking
Beliefs: Learning should be fun! I offer relaxed, friendly but focussed tuition sessions in which every student can learn to develop to their full potential and increase their self-esteem.
Services : I offer intensive 1-2-1 tuition in your home or mine, in 1 hour lessons. I tutor children from the age of 7 (Key Stage 2) and upwards, including preparation for SATs, GCSEs and A levels. An assessment is completed during the first lesson and subsequent tuition is carefully tailored to the individual to enable them to gain that feeling of achievement which will build confidence and motivation.
Fees: from £20 per hour.
Location: A two minute walk from Solent Junior School and generally well-placed for most North Portsmouth schools, easy parking. Alternatively, I’ll come to you.
