I offer high quality English Tuition from KS3 to GCSE
using a personalised approach tailored to your needs.
GCSE English Tuition is booming – the need for students to acquire the English skills to achieve at GCSE by sixth forms, colleges and apprenticeship programmes is high. Students who do not achieve the heralded level 4 are required to retake until they are 18.
Further education criteria, combined with the disruptive effects of Covid-19 on schools and students, has seen more and more families now turning to the services of a tutor from year 7 onwards.
This is where I come in.
A fully-qualfied teacher with significant SEN experience. 19 years experience. Excellent outcomes every year.
Why choose Fresh Horizons?
Unlike many of the larger tutoring agencies that exist, I believe in a personalised approach where quality teaching in line with the methods and principles taught in schools, is followed. I am also a member of 'The Tutors Association; - the only Government recognised professional body for tutors. This means you have the assurance of knowing that I have to adhere to a rigorous code of practice and safeguarding/DBS certificates are always up-to-date. I also belong to the Qualified Tutor Organisation which supports pedagogy and CPD. In addition, in July 2023, I was one of only two finalists for the Milton Keynes 'English Teacher of the Year' award. I was nominated in recognition of my work with SEN students and those 'harder to engage' students.
You won’t find students working independently on computer programmes at Fresh Horizons, nor will you find worksheets being distributed. Instead, all students receive individualised support for both KS3 and GCSE English Tuition whether face-to-face or online. All students are encouraged and positively ‘pushed’ to achieve the absolute best grades they are able.
A comprehensive schedule for the year is mapped out for those preparing for GCSE to ensure all components of both the Language and the Literature exams are met. My evening group workshops have proved to be an enormously successful and cost-effective way to access tutoring with 55 students now attending throughout the week.
Online learning
The pandemic forced me to embrace technology and move my service online via Zoom. This has proved very successful with outcomes matching face-to-face tuition - I now work online with the majority of my clients. It also means I can teach anywhere in the country. For the families I work with, there is the convenience of not having to leave home but also the reassurance that should a student, or indeed the whole country, contract a contagious infection, education is uninterrupted. A growing number of families are now choosing to home educate their children – online tuition to support this is a perfect way to support students during the day.
Start students early for maximum success
Sensibly, many families are now employing the support of a tutor from Year 7 rather than waiting until the exam years. The building blocks for GCSE are developed and enhanced from entry to secondary school. It probably goes without saying that the earlier a student accesses support, the greater their chance of success.
