I am a Qualified Teacher with over 15 years’ of teaching and tutoring experience. Currently I am based in the Hall Green & Shirley area, however I have been involved in teaching Sutton Coldfield, Wolverhampton, Worcestershire, Leicester, Shropshire, Stafford and Coventry. I specialize in the 11 Plus exam with key attention to the requirements for exam preparation for all the Grammar school and independent schools within the Birmingham and the West Midlands region. My role has also allowed to me work with some of the brightest pupils in the country.
I provide a small group high-quality tuition service for pupils in years 4, 5 and 6. I specialize in teaching Gifted and Talented pupils and literacy. This includes the entrance tests administered by GL, (Granada learning) and Centre for Evaluation and Management of the University of Durham (CEM).
I believe that every child deserves a chance at the opportunity to flourish in selective education. I have accepted students who have been dismissed by others who have gone on to achieve grammar school places and even scholarships from the most competitive schools in the West Midlands. Through hard work from both parents and child you can achieve your goals. I am very honest with my feedback and I believe my tutoring will hold them in good stead for their secondary education.
I tutor in small groups to allows the pupils to interact and learn from each other. I like to focus on a number of key elements of teaching which includes stretching pupils, developing problem solving skills and getting the pupils to use higher order thinking skills. I do not subscribe to training students just to pass a test. My approach is to equip students with the skills, knowledge, good study practice to enable them to pass any exam and skills they can take with them beyond school and to further education.
After a few months of tutoring you should see an improvement in your child sets at school and hear some positive feedback from their school teacher. In addition to this, you should see an improvement in your childs study preparation, resilience and confidence.
