Weekly Tuition
The most popular arrangement is traditional face-to-face tutoring where I visit your home for an hour a week and work through any problems you have.
£30 per weekly session
Intense 4-week topic revision
Perhaps you have just one text you want to get to grips with or a question type you can’t master no matter how many times you attempt it. You just need that little extra push. I will sit with you over 4 weeks, normally on a Saturday, and target this particular issue until you are confident.
£100 for 4 sessions (save a sixth on the normal ongoing weekly tuition fee)
Online assign and assess
A no-frills service where I provide challenging work for you to complete and return. I will then provide written or verbal feedback each week on the work you have completed.
£15 per weekly session
Online mentoring
With a trusted adult listening in, we will discuss your barriers to effective learning online and come up with some simple strategies to get you motivated, establish achievable actions to move forward and monitor your progress for as long as you need.
£20 per hour
