English
I have a long experience in tutoring English at all levels, from primary to A Level. Whether that is supporting a student who needs some extra confidence, or helping someone to reach the top grades, I work with all ages and all levels, including students with a variety of learning profiles.
Approach
My approach is calm and clear, with well-planned lessons designed around specific outcomes. It is important that each session feels like time well spent for the student and that they see the value in what they are doing. The environment is relaxed but I am aware that they are giving up their time for a session, so not a minute is wasted.
Schedule
Sessions can be weekly or more frequent, according to individual requirements. Sessions can be cancelled without charge up to 24 hours in advance, after which the session will be deemed to have taken place. Payment is by invoice at the end of each month.
"My son is dyslexic and has ADHD. He was struggling with English Language and so in year 11 we decided to get him a tutor. In addition to his SEN it is important that he has a good relationship with a teacher in order to be able to learn effectively. We were lucky enough to find Olivia and from the very first lesson they had an instant rapport. Olivia's positive encouragement and easy manner allowed her to connect with my son. Olivia was not only able to teach the English curriculum but also to provide tailored strategies for the exams. I am delighted to say that my son passed his English language GCSE and I can’t thank Olivia enough for the large part she played in his success." S.D.
