Abbie D
Enthusiastic and passionate English tutor
I run more informal sessions to help make sure all my students can ask any questions they need about their subject or our lesson topic! I’m a big believer that there are no silly questions and that tutoring is a great space to ask things or cover topics that students may not want to ask in the big classroom setting! I may occasionally ask for a small amount of pre-session work, depending on the key stage. This will never be more than 20mins of thinking or reading on a subject and am open to chatting with students or parents about when this would be most appropriate for their schedules! I’ll alw...
