Tutoring options

---

Sam the English teacher is a qualified postgraduate specialist with  over 10 years of secondary school  experience teaching English Language and literature in the classroom. Additionally working as an examiner English literature and language at GCSE level

The outcomes for students in her GCSE classroom have frequently been amongst the best in Leeds and her strength at KS3 is to inspire confidence and a love of reading for life.

Small groups (up to 4) of same year students creates a natural learning environment where ideas and views can be shared and discussed.  This is appropriate for students that know each other well and will feel comfortable sharing ideas and feedback

1.5 hour sessions can be delivered online or face to face, including time before  the session to settle students and  after to consolidate learning.  An independent task may be generated if the student would like this and personalised feedback would be given on the work

This 1 hr session of tutoring provides dedicated and specific feedback to an individual student. This might be appropriate for a child that has a specific need or is focused on a specific level of progress.  Some students are naturally more confident in this setting and this can be delivered online or face to face.

Some students have developed an ease of communicating or are comfortable in different location and suit online.  This will enable feedback to be given but lacks the immediacy of face to face.  It is a preference of style as the student may find this intense or respond well.  This face to face session is one hour and would be delivered in your own home.

In years 10 and 11 Samtheenglishteacher will cover aspects of the GCSE specification.  We can cover most exam board content and can work alongside or distinguish completely from school lessons.

At KS3 we teach skills through a variety of extracts and sources.

Students in both age ranges would be expected to produce work that was available for feedback.

If you have ever wished that you had paid more attention to English in school? Wistfully remember studying English?.... then these adult interest clubs will work for you.  In dedicated groups of up to 10 adults each 10 week course on an aspect of the novel, poetry, plays or Shakespeare these are face to face in central Leeds.  They provide a convivial setting to explore literature with others and produce your own work.   Courses vary, please contact us for details
