I am an experienced tutor with a loyal and growing student base. I provide personalised in-person tutoring in South Manchester and Cheshire, and online tutoring for students everywhere else. I specialise in supporting independently educated students, particularly for entrance exams and boarding school preparation. However, my expertise extends beyond these areas.
I have a unique approach to tutoring that caters to each student's learning style, whether they are shy and lacking confidence or outgoing and self-assured. I focus on keeping your child engaged and promoting effective learning. My goal is to help your family achieve their academic objectives.
I am a dedicated full-time professional tutor, not a teacher who tutors part-time. Unlike classroom teaching, my pedagogy is specifically tailored to individual students, ensuring maximum progress. I am invested in your child's success, and their lessons are customised to their needs. Online lessons are available for a minimum duration of 1 hour, while in-person sessions can be conducted at your home for either 90 minutes or 2 hours.
With over 14 years of tutoring experience, I specialise in both primary and secondary education. I possess a deep understanding of both independent and state curricula. Each lesson I deliver is tailored to meet the unique needs and personality of your child. I am skilled in providing effective literacy tuition, particularly for children with dyslexia and other specific learning difficulties. My approach is adaptable, ensuring it complements your child's individuality.
I have extensive experience tutoring privately for families across various European cities such as Madrid, Bologna, Milan, and Geneva. Additionally, I have taught students in Vancouver, Canada, as well as Southampton, New York, and Houston, Texas. I have successfully supported students aiming to attend independent day and boarding schools in the UK, and I have successfully prepared them for common entrance exams.
My students consistently achieve excellent results, and I strongly believe in every child's potential to succeed. The key lies in discovering their optimal learning style and enabling them to reach their full potential. The positive feedback I regularly receive from my students extends beyond what is showcased on First Tutors.
Furthermore, I am passionate about making English more accessible and engaging, particularly for boys.
I believe that learning should be enjoyable, and the most effective way for children to learn is through humor and interactive activities. When working with each child, I take into account their personal preferences and adjust my methods accordingly. I encourage the children I teach to ask questions, which enhances their understanding of the subject matter rather than simply memorising information.
In my approach, I strive to create a relaxed and informal learning environment where your child feels comfortable and at ease. My goal is to foster their confidence in their work and ideas while ensuring tangible progress.
