- Where do you teach?

I am happy to teach in my own home or at students' homes, whichever suits you better. I live near Chichester in West Sussex near the border with Hampshire. I am happy to travel up to 10 miles - Emsworth, Havant, Portsmouth, Waterlooville, Arundel, Bognor Regis etc.

- When are you available?

I am available for tuition Monday to Friday, daytime or evening. I can be flexible with times - if, for example you prefer after-school during term time, this could be switched to a daytime appointment if you need to continue tuition during school holidays.

- Which ages and levels do you teach?

I teach GCSE English, Key Stage 3 English or French, Key Stage 2 French. I also teach Creative Writing, primarily to adults, though I'm happy to teach any age - from seven to ninety-seven (or older ...)!

- Do you have a personal message for students?

Everyone can benefit from one-to-one tuition - it's a time to develop self-confidence and self-belief. Classrooms are not always the easiest places to feel confident, but I'm very easy-going, patient and flexible, and will work with you to develop both your confidence and skills.
