Tailored support for English Literature students
I offer support to students of English Literature, including those studying for GCSE and A-Level examinations. The tutoring sessions take place either in person or over the telephone, with additional email communication where necessary. My aim is to help students get to grips with the novels, poetry and plays being studied so that they can talk and write about them with confidence and fluency. The sessions are informal and tailored to each student's own ability and goals, with reference to the examination syllabus where appropriate. I can provide sessions on a wide variety of writers including Chaucer, Shakespeare, Jane Austen, Eliot, Sylvia Plath, Dickens, Wilkie Collins, Rosetti, the Bronte sisters, Gaskell and Harper Lee to name just a few.
At the end of each session I provide a short email report to the student and parent detailing what we have covered. After every 3 sessions, I offer a 20 minute telephone consultation with parents to discuss progess free of charge.
Tutoring over the telephone
As a mother of three, I understand how time consuming it can be, accompanying and transporting your children to various different activities. Tutoring over the telephone means that sessions can take place in the comfort of the student's own home, at a time convenient to you, up to 10pm. There is no time wasted travelling to and from sessions, and no need to carry heavy books around. It also means that I don't have to charge a cancellation fee, unless you cancel a session less than 1 hour before it is due to start.
Face to Face Tutoring
For those students who prefer to learn face to face, I am able to offer 1:1 sessions in my home classroom.
