Online Tuition on Skype and Zoom

In light of the government's recent update on travel to and from places of work and following many successful sessions this week, I am now offering primary tuition exclusively online through both Skype and Zoom. An hour's tuition is just £28 or £50 for two hours a week (which may be split into two separate sessions on different days should you wish.)

Unlike mass online learning platforms, every one of my sessions is tailored to the individual needs of the student. The sessions can support learning that has been provided by your school or focus on particular areas of the curriculum you feel your child would benefit most from.

Below are two examples of fantastic sessions that have taken place this week.

Using Zoom, three home-educated students, who I normally tutor together at one parent's house, continued their English learning this week by exploring Chapter 14 of Charlotte's Web. They investigated contractions, different forms of punctuation and using the text to support opinions before writing their own character description. They also enjoyed the opportunity to discuss ideas with each other despite all being in different homes!


On Skype, two sisters successfully used multiplication by 10, 100 and 1000 to simplify division of a pair of decimals. They then applied this skill to real life scenarios.

January 2021: Tier 5 Lockdown

This evening Boris confirmed the inevitable. We are entering a second full lockdown and schools will once again be closed; this time until at least the February half term. I have already taken several enquiries tonight from parents I work with regarding additional hours for their children to supplement the remote learning provided by schools. Whilst I did have just a couple of hours available on Saturdays, the closure of schools does mean I can now offer sessions within the school day (should they not conflict with the sessions schools are providing.) If you are looking for 1:1 or group tuition throughout the school closure period please contact me. Whilst group tuition is less effective than 1:1 it can provide a solution for anyone on a budget - less than £10 an hour in the case of a group of 3 (the maximum group size I believe is effective.) You can organise a group yourself or I can organise this should there be enough interest by individuals looking for tuition in the same year gr...

Home Education Tutorials on Zoom

This week my home educated group of 8 to 11 year olds met for another successful session on Zoom. Prior to social distancing measures we'd been meeting every week at a parent's house and the children were intrigued to see how the sessions would differ online.  Now four sessions in, it's almost like we're still all sat round the table. We've adapted to the needs of the technology, using emoticons like the thumbs up to show when we're ready to share our writing or looking into the camera to show we're listening to each other's ideas. This week we read chapter 18 of Charlotte's web together and discussed ideas such as metaphor when it came to theme of moving on in the chapter. As the day ends we learn that Charlotte is getting older and less able to spin webs, Fern's interest in the animals is moving on to a special new friendship with Henry Fussy and Wilbur is up for the very public Best In Show award at the local fair. Having reviewed a vari...
