Where are the Lessons and Can I Stay?

You are always welcome to talk with me at the start or end of any session. You may prefer to call, text or email and I will respond promptly.

It is also absolutely fine to make an appointment if you would like to speak at length. Often this is something that is useful to do before the first lesson or if you have any major concerns at any time.

I have a good supply of sample practice books and papers so that we can select those most suited to the level of your son or daughter and the school(s) they are applying to. I then order them on line and you reimburse me when your son or daughter uses them.

I know that families lead very busy lives and that cancellations are a necessary part of that. No charge is made for any cancelled individual sessions. Sometimes sessions can be rearranged or you may choose to have some catch up lessons in the holidays. If you find you are too busy for weekly lessons you may prefer fortnightly.

As we work with Smarter Study Cards and Maps right from the start, you also purchase the Smarter Study Pack (£21).

The pack includes the complete syllabus in spiral bound cards and mind maps - they are comprehensive, clear and concise and come with a student friendly index, page marker tabs, highlighter, fine pencil and zip wallet.

I have good text books and plenty of practice papers. Sometimes your son or daughter may like to bring their school books or test papers - particularly when they have queries related to ongoing work.
