Primary Maths & English; French all levels English
I am a trained primary school teacher and switched to tutoring so that I could work more intensively one-to-one.I offer lessons either at my home in Streatham, south London or online, with most of my students requiring help with English and Maths.

I am experienced at working with very able children, those with complex SEN needs as well as students who present challenging behaviour. I support reluctant learners as well as working with and encouraging the most able students to explore and extend their reading and writing skills. Having...

Alice M
Patient and enthusiastic English tutor
My teaching style is relaxed, friendly and patient. I love tutoring and I’m flexible with how our sessions run- but I prefer for them to be guided by however you like to work best! I currently work for the Centre for ADHD and Autism in North London and therefore I am able to support students who have additional needs and learning disabilities. I’ve been working with young people in educational settings for around 5 years- my career includes time as a teaching assistant, full time tutor, support worker and assistant psychologist and even a detective in the met police! I have a huge amount of exp...
