I prefer to teach in the student's home; and would like a parent in the house where the student is under 18. I can also teach in my home; I would prefer if a parent can attend if the student is under 18. If not, I do need arrangements as to how your child will be collected or be able to get home. I can teach in Tring, Berkhamsted, and Hemel Hempstead Hertfordshire. I can also teach in Aston Clinton and Aylesbury in Buckinghamshire.

I am getting very busy at the moment and only have Saturday afternoons after 1pm free. For older children I may be able to teach Wednesday evenings after 6pm for Tring parents only.
