Sheila K.

I have 30 years teaching experience as a college lecturer. I began tutoring 15 years ago. I am familiar with the National 5 syllabus as well as the Higher English Tutors. I have also tutored for GCSE and A Level English. I have received many positive reviews from parents which underpins my competencies. I have a thorough knowledge of the syllabus’s, examination content and literature to be studied. I can also offer essay writing techniques and critical analysis techniques.

I operate online which has proven to be highly successful. Students seem to prefer online rather than face to face tutoring and results have shown this. I also offer tutoring in tutees home within a 3 mile radius of my postcode.

When I first ‘meet’ my Tutee, I like to have an informal chat to find out areas of strength as well as areas needing improvement. I am happy to have parents involved in this discussion. All areas of the syllabus are covered with parental input welcomed. I also offer examination preparation, study techniques and time management.

I like to build a working relationship with my Tutee and encourage confidence building. This in turn can lead to improved test results in class and ultimately improved examination grades.

I can also work with tutees with dyslexia having tutored a number of individuals who had previously struggled with learning.

I look forward to hearing from you.
