Hi, my name is Carole Graham. I worked as a primary school teacher for 19 years and I have been tutoring children from reception to year 7, mainly online, since February 2020. Some of my current students have worked with me since I started.I can help with homework or any particular areas children feel they need more practise with. I have worked daily with a child who is being home schooled and also a pupil whose parents would like him to continue to learn English as they have moved abroad. I enjoy working with children individually as a tutor because I understand how much some children can benefit...

Matthew A
Reading tutor in Cheltenham
Hello. My name is Matthew. I've been offering 1-on-1 tuition in science and maths subjects since the start of 2019 as I've often been told I'm great at explaining things and great with the kids. I've always loved science and found it highly interesting and fascinating, so I can inject a lot of energy and love for the subject in my lessons. I have a Bachelors Degree in Biochemistry and Genetics (University of Nottingham) and a Masters in Cancer Cell and Molecular Biology (University of Leicester), as well as A levels in Maths, Physics, Human Biology, and Chemistry.Some of my key strengths: - Efficient....

In addition to consolidating...

Eleanor B
Great first 'getting to know' lesson. Ellie helped Monty warm to the idea of tutoring by tapping nicely into his interests (he said afterwards that he really liked her) . He is positive about having another session next week. It was good that they could discuss his current school book; I think this is going to help him.

Hannah B
Within 5 minutes of specking to Hannah, I knew she was going to be my son’s tutor. She’s personable, passionate and knows her industry inside out. We’ve only had 2 lessons, but I can see the confidence and enjoyment on my son’s face as he’s learning. My son said after his 2nd lesson, ‘Hannah is so calm and I’m really enjoying tutoring’. We are actually so blessed to have found Hannah.

Nic H
Nic is a very experienced teacher who is able to adapt to different children, with an array of tools up her sleeve to keep the child engaged. After every lesson Nic is very good at telling me what they went through and what we should be focusing on. I think I am even learning myself on letter formation!
My daughter is a high functioning autistic person in reception, who needs to close some gaps in her phonics, numbers and handwriting. The leap from reception to year 1 can be difficult and Nic is helping me to get my daughter to a level where she will feel stable with the transition.
I was worried that a 1hr lesson would be too hard for my daughter and that she would not be engaged. My daughter is fully engaged and I am very impressed with what my daughter can achieve in her lesson.
