Find an expert tutor in Sherborne

Hello! My name is Sophie and I graduated from Durham University in English Literature in June 2024. I decided to study English Literature at university because I've always loved reading books and discussing them at length. Reading and analysing books gives us a better understanding of the world we operate within, human psychology, and the past. Outside of English, I love to draw, knit, and embroider. I also come from a big family, so I love spending time with them when we are together. I grew up internationally and lived in several countries before finally moving back to the UK.I also write my...

I teach each area of knowledge a few times, supporting and demonstrating how to tackle problems together, before applying the knowledge gained to exam questions, once students feel confident. Teaching one-to-one, allows me to work at the pace required by individual students, filling in their personal gaps to enable them to progress. I use a range of resources from practice sheets (sometimes a bit of good old-fashioned practice is exactly what’s required!) and flash cards to interactive games online so that students can experience learning from a few different angles. This can be particularly h...

Hi I am Nicky and I was a teacher in Hampshire for over fifteen years at Wildern School in Hedge End, The Hamble School (11-16) and Itchen Sixth Form College in Southampton.
