FAQs
Please get in touch if you don't find your answer here
What are your fees?
I charge £35 per hour. This includes preparation, marking, resources and regular progress reports.
What subjects do you cover?
I teach all subjects covered in the primary age National Curriculum, specialising in English and Maths. For many years I have taught Year 6, preparing children for SATS exams.
What happens when my child cannot attend a session?
If your child cannot attend their scheduled session, I try to offer an alternative slot. Sometimes it is possible to hold the session on Zoom or Microsoft Teams.
How do you take payments?
I email invoices for my sessions at the beginning of each half term. Payment is by bank transfer or cheque.
Do you set homework?
I only set homework if I and the parents feel their children will benefit. Any homework I do set will consolidate a topic that we have worked on together.
Do you offer online tuition?
There are clear benefits to in-person tutoring. However, during the lockdown I was able to continue teaching online with great success. This would remain an option to ensure your child's education doesn't suffer.
When do you offer tuition sessions?
My tuition sessions run from 4pm to 8pm each evening and on Saturdays. I also run sessions during the holidays where parents think their child will benefit.
Do you only do one-to-one tuition?
I mainly run one-to-one sessions.  However, I have taught siblings and schoolfriends in pairs and find that works well. There is a discount for this.
