English
I'm all about the text. Unpacking language to find the magic you couldn't see before. You will feel more confident and actually fall in love with the surprises we find in English language and literature. I'm discussion based, and also careful to help find evidence like a detective in the texts we explore. We can unpack topics, themes and stories you love, bringing English to life, and in the process, your English will improve. I'm interested to find out what motivates you and we'll start there. Whatever you're interested in, be it football, travel, food or popular culture - let's start there with an article about it and really dig in to what makes the language effective - the vocabulary, grammar, structure, tone - what will it be? I will also 100% back you or your child for exams. With an MSc Counselling, I'm attuned to the stresses of upcoming examinations, and can walk along, right beside you to make it the least stressful and most enjoyable experience it can be. With me, you'll chase the learning, not the grade (but also get a fantastic grade you can be most proud of!)

Sally is my partner and she is an excellent tutor. She communicates clearly and effectively, moving at a pace that works for the student. Sally is an expert at every level within the subject, from the finer points of grammar and language skills to high-level poetry analysis. She is understanding, adaptable, and a really good listener. Sally can also helps with exam prep and managing your mood/energy in those last weeks before assessment. I would recommend Sally to anyone looking to improve their skills or appreciation of the subject - she is a lifesaver.
Wow! I've just spent 10 weeks with Sally in the lead up to my English Lit A Level and my exam went like a dream! . It was amazing how she helped me to organise my thoughts and ideas clearly so that my answers were more coherent and sophisticated. The things I'd been struggling with just felt so much more manageable - and I found myself enjoying English without worrying about the exam. Her knowledge is great! I would highly recommend her.
