Class experience
US Grade 3 - 12
***Update At the moment, my time is very limited and I am not able to take on any more students than those currently enrolled. Those of you interested to do tuition with me in future are very welcome to get in touch, though please do not be offended if I am unable to support your child in 1:1 classes at the moment.

This class is taught in English.
Students will develop a deeper love of reading, writing and speaking English, through a carefully curated sequence of sessions which meets your student where they are, and builds upon their strengths, whilst always ensuring their time in class is enjoyable.

Students will learn how to harness the autonomy and support that can grow in our nurturing English mentor/mentee relationship.
I am a highly experienced primary school teacher in the UK, as well as being a published writer for children and adults. I am a native English speaker with a degree in Politics, Psychology and Sociology from the University of Cambridge. As a demonstration of my confidence and expertise, I share here that I have been a Keynote Speaker at the United Kingdom Literacy Association's 54th International Conference, and at the Cambridgeshire Festival of Education.
Homework Offered
Should children and parents request it, I will provide short continuation tasks which students can complete between our sessions. These will build upon the live class activities. A maximum of two hours' worth of writing time would be expected, if optional tasks are requested, and I will read children's written responses ahead of our live sessions, and give live feedback.1 - 2 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
Written feedback reports will be made available to parents after every five sessions, if these are requested. These formative feedback documents will help to ensure our tuition remains purposeful, and allows parents and children regular opportunities to redirect our focus as the needs of the child change.Grades Offered
