Would your child benefit from one-to-one support with English?
SATs tests and CE exams
Pupils in Key Stages 2 and 3 may require support to improve their reading and writing, including spelling, grammar and punctuation. These provide children with a core of knowledge and skills that will provide them with a solid base on which to build at secondary school.
Some private tutoring early on not only helps children build confidence and make progress, it also ensures a seamless transition to English at GCSE level in Key Stage 4 so can be a worthwhile investment.
SATs tests and the Common Entrance exam at 11+ and 13+ require a specific set of skills. Lessons focus on reading comprehension, writing composition, verbal & nonverbal reasoning and mastery of spelling, grammar and punctuation.
Developing these core skills and exam techniques will help your child prepare for these tests and exams with confidence and enjoyment.
GCSE, IGCSE and A level exams
One-to-one English tuition is an effective way to focus on the positives of what a student can do, while also guiding them through the areas where they need to improve.
Lessons link to the specific curriculum and set texts being followed by your child's school or college, including AQA, Pearson Edexcel and Cambridge.
Many students struggle with GCSE and IGCSE English Language and English Literature exams due to the high level of skill and in-depth knowledge of the assessment objectives that are required to succeed.
Whether your child is responding to an unseen text in a language exam, or analysing an extract from a Shakespeare play, 19th century novel, modern text or poetry anthology in a literature exam, they may need help to develop the skills and knowledge that are required to get the top marks.
One-to-one teaching will help your child learn how to structure their answers, identify key themes or techniques and use evidence to support their points.
I help students to develop revision strategies and exam techniques so they are well-prepared for these important, high-stakes exams and can sit them with confidence, avoiding unnecessary stress.
