- Describe your arrangements for online tutoring.
I carry out a two hour assessment using Skype
This enables parents to sit in and see how well their child relates to me and me to them.
I then give them a report together with their child's Standard Age Score.
This is a measure of how well a child performs in respect of its age group
and is a very accurate predictor of success at 11+.
Tuition takes place via Skype once a week for an hour.
Homework is set and marked.
Essays are scanned to me for marking.
Progress reports are given each month.
- Do you have a personal message for students?
This is the most important and exciting two years of your life.
You will pass your 11+ if you are willing to work incredibly hard
but you must also be prepared to make some mistakes, if you really want to learn.
This journey is going to be such great fun.
I look forward to working with you and giving you all the help I can.
