Can't recommend Melissa enough. She has managed to instill a confidence in my son that wasn't there before. Making him realise he can achieve a pass in his GCSE. It has been lovely to listen to their weekly lessons and listen to him grow and mature in his attitude towards his work. Thank you Melissa More...

What do you love most about your job?
Seeing my students grow in confidence and their pride and excitement when a new or tricky concept just clicks!
What inspired you to start your own business?
I love the flexibility of self employment - both in terms of balancing fulfilling work with family life and the freedom to develop my creative, research driven teaching ideas.
Why should our clients choose you?
My tuition is personalised to support your child to achieve, striving to help alleviate the pressures of the education system rather than add to them.
Plus:
- I have ten years experience teaching Secondary English across a wide spectrum of attainment and need - from those securing a grade 4 to those stretching to a grade 9.
- I have completed master's level research in reading comprehension development and successful reading intervention strategies.
- I have recieved specialised training from exam board AQA in teaching their GCSE papers.
- I also have experience teaching IGCSE specifications (a popular choice for home educated students, many private schools and international students).
- As a Lead Practitioner in a large city school, I led on effective, research-based teaching practice and literacy across the curriculum.
- I have particular professional interests in: supporting students struggling with reading; students experiencing school related anxiety; students looking for support to stretch their skills and interpretations to the very highest grades.
- References and DBS available on request.
