What do you love most about your job?
A child advancing. I dislike it when nothing happens, like when Reading Recovery was not accessed by some non-readers. I knew their big chance had passed them by.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I was asked to teach 11+ as an after school club and enjoyed it. I like tests, and the non-verbal is Bond like. It is fun.
Why should our clients choose you?
I am cheap. I let you work through Bond papers etc and assist when necessary.
Also, if you feel you won't pass, I am patient and support, as many do pass. However, I don't say it is going to be guaranteed and I have a 99 percent pass rate.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
No. I would like to but I am not used to it, in terms of technology or in terms of how you would teach it. You don't have the book there.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
I had the jabs - all 3. I can obviously not turn up if I have a cough. I had Covid a week before everyone took it seriously. For me, the jab was worse.
11+
I have taught 11+ since 2016. 70 per cent pass. I provide the materials. Some kids are electric and pass easily, whilst some need help. They may fail but they get something out of it.
GCSE English
I taught GCSE this year, preparing work on Macbeth, A Christmas Story and An Inspector Calls. Also, the unseen poetry and the story or description. I taught for around 12 hours, and the pupil was pleased and her father was pleased. I didn't ask for a reference, as it seems a bit rude. I used online example essays, a GCSE book, (quite excellent on the non-fiction) and printed work on such things as similes etc. The main points were the story is easier, the writer's message is conveyed using the techniques and these are the most likely topics and here is an example of a great essay, (I.E. Supernatural in Macbeth).
I don't normally specialise in GCSE language and literature, but I studied for hours before each lesson. I have taught GCSE English as a cover teacher as well, so it is not totally new to me by any means.
