Summary
I have been a private tutor for over 20 years and offer an alternative environment to the classroom where students have the opportunity to flourish. I also offer a free trial of 30 minutes where I can identify students' individual needs.Experience
I have been a private tutor for 25 years and successfully transferred my skills online 10 years ago. I am also experienced in dealing with students with dyslexia, Asperger’s, dyspraxia and autism, finding methods for the individual to reach their potential with individual strategies.I have also been a French speaker from a young age, having lived with my French grandmother. I have always chosen French as part of my studies and tutor conversational and business French, as well as KS3 through to undergraduate. I also give advice and practical help to degree level students to help them to organise and write their assignments and dissertations in a variety of disciplines.
More
I provide an alternate, more relaxed environment to school whereby students can feel comfortable and ask the questions they need to in order to progress with their studies. The classroom environment often does not allow students to adequately learn new skills, practice them and then use them successfully in exams. I give students the opportunity to ask “how” a mistake is rectified and allow them to ask as many times as they need to in order to understand the process. This is especially true in the case of technical accuracy which is a high marking component of all GCSE English exams.Many students who have been diagnosed, and those undiagnosed, are left with the feeling that they cannot achieve like their peers. I aim to show them that this is not the case and adjustments to the way they approach tasks can help them to advance their studies successfully.
Here is a selection of recent feedback from my students:
“Chris is an exceptionally talented tutor, and has been very encouraging and motivating. She has helped me to calm down and to plan my work before producing something of a high standard. Our lessons are always fun yet productive, and I feel that she allows me to be the best I can be. I’d definitely recommend her, as she is not only extremely intelligent, but also very understanding and friendly. ”
"I came to Ms Chris a day before my paper 1 and about a week before my paper 2. Even with such limited time she managed to raise my level and give me last minute tips. Despite the limited time we had, she has evidently raised my level and my confidence in writing too. Ms Chris is an excellent English tutor and I testify that she’s one of the best."
