English Homeschooling - Y7, 8, 9 and 10

I offer online homeschooling assistance for secondary level students who are following an independent course of study. I teach proper lessons, with driven goals to obtain the key skills needed for GCSEs, offering a supportive and joyful learning environment outside of the classic classroom system. I've taken a break from in-school teaching (secondary English) to work with homeschooled and struggling students. I build confidence, I build skills, and I build an ownership of English as a form of self-expression. With 10+ years tutoring experience (EAL, Literacy, GCSE, AS and A-Level English) both abroad and in the UK, 3,000+hrs of private tutoring in the last two years, a PGCE and QTS in English at secondary level, and experience as a GCSE Examiner, I know how to sculpt my students' unique voices to achieve the objectives they need in these exams. I work with students from Y7-Y11, holding 50 minute sessions and charging a flat fee of £20 per session, inclusive of bespoke materials, specific skills courses and catering to the specific interests of the student. My pricing is deliberately competitive against my experience: I want all students to be able to access learning support, and so charge the absolute minimum possible. My lessons are held online, and I utilise the available technologies to support and further student learning. I currently teach the AQA, Pearson/Edexcel and Eduqas curricula and assessment specifications. English is a tricky beast - a contradiction combining multiple languages and often using five words when just two will do. It is also inevitably deeply poetic, profoundly expressive and - when we're brave enough to try - entirely empowering. This is my ethos, and this is the truth I make evident for my students.
