Interview

Which subject(s) do you teach?
I teach all subjects at primary level (key stages 1 and 2), most usually English and Maths. I also teach English and History at KS3, GCSE and A level.

Tell me about your qualifications.
I am a qualified primary school teacher. I have a PGCE in Primary Education from Bradford College and an MA Hons in History from St Andrews University.

What kind of experience do you have?
I have a range of experience of teaching and tutoring, including one-to-one tuition and class teaching. I am currently a year 2 teacher in a local school. My students have included those with ASD, dyslexia and behavioural problems, as well as those who are gifted and/or talented. As a tutor I have taught English, Maths and History to children who have been excluded from mainstream education, children who are home-schooled, those who are struggling to keep up with class work and those whose high abilities are not stretched at school.

How much do you charge?
Standard fees: My usual fee is £30 per hour of tuition. I also sometimes charge a travel fee of £5, depending on the client's location. Group discounts are available - please enquire.

Where do you teach?
I usually teach in my students' homes. I am able to travel to students living in Stamford, Oundle, Peterborough and most of the surrounding villages, covering parts of Cambridgeshire, Lincolnshire, Rutland, Leicestershire and Northamptonshire.

When are you available?
I am available for tutoring from 4pm to 10pm, Monday to Friday. I also have some availability at weekends - please enquire for details. During school holidays I can usually offer intensive tuition blocks, e.g. blocks of 5 to 30 hours of tuition arranged over 1 week to suit the client.

Which ages and levels do you teach?
I teach children from age 5 to 18, including key stage 1, key stage 2, key stage 3, GCSE and A level.

Which qualifications do you prepare your students for?
I prepare students for 11+ common entrance exams, key stage 1 SATs, key stage 2 SATs, GCSEs and A levels.

Do you have an up-to-date CRB (Criminal Records Bureau) disclosure certificate?
As a practising school teacher I have an enhanced CRB disclosure.

Describe your arrangements for online tutoring.
Where appropriate I can offer online tuition, either via live Skype sessions or by email correspondence.

Do you have a personal message for students?
My aim for all of my students, whatever their age and ability, is that they enjoy their learning and grow in confidence. My sessions are fun but intensive - I expect the same level of respect, commitment and enthusiasm from my students that I give to them.
