Any teacher will tell you of the daily dilemna they
face trying to help the slow student without holding
up the whole class. Often a student fails to grasp a
key fact and a feeling of reeling or mild panic then
prevails, as they get left behind. By finding and filling
in these missing pieces of the learning gradient in
that subject you can make the whole subject
understandable again.

Fees
I charge £20 to £30 per hour,
depending on the subject,
plus a travelling surcharge if
I feel it warranted. Lesser or
greater periods, or multiple
students, are by negotiation.
Payment is by cash, cheque
or most credit cards.
The really bright student needs special treatment,
and this is often not recognised in the classroom,
and this can wreck a child’s school career. Extra
tuition tailored to challenge and develop the abilities
of that child can be life-changing for them.
Schedule
I am very flexible regarding
the scheduling of lessons.
I will meet your requirements
whenever possible. (I require
24hrs notice of a cancellation)
Often a student will pass a word that is not
understood in class, and this can blank out a
whole lesson, especially if it is a key word for
that subject. I routinely check a student for
this and clear up any as needed. Results can
be spectacular.
Quite often it will be found that a student
will not know of what use to them a
particular subject is, if any, and by
clearing this up with examples, they will
approach it with a new vigour.
Pity the poor student who simply cannot keep up
in class. The world becomes a dreadful place,
sometimes bringing punishments plus mockery
from classmates. Parents often fail to understand
the problem, as the student will not discuss it.
This is where I come in. A careful assessment
plus a tailored program of tutoring, and suddenly
they start to suceed and even shine in class.
The more they get told they have it, the more
they believe it! However some research on
the internet will reveal that many who “had it”
now don’t. The real test of a student of any
age is - can they study and then apply what
they have learned.

About Dyslexia
Sometimes, heaven forbid, certain
drugs are prescribed for a child with an
“attention span problem”. I believe any
such problems are simply due to one or
more of the things mentioned on this
page. And these solutions work!
No Drugs Please!
And of course, real life experience of
using a studied subject or language out in
the world will bring it to life for a student.
Too often this is not possible in the
classroom, but a simple assignment can
work wonders.
