Frequently Asked Questions

What age range do you work with?

I work with all primary aged children, up to and including primary 7.

How do I engage with your tutoring service?

Please use my contact page. We can then make time to talk on the phone and chat through your child's needs.

How do you evaluate new students?

A baseline evaluation is undertaken during an assessment session, which covers literacy, numeracy and notes personal strengths and areas for growth.

Do you teach mathematics?

Yes. I can split sessions into teaching primary maths and language.

What are your costs?

There is an initial cost for a practitioner's assessment of £80, then a block of four sessions costs £140.

What is a practitioner's assessment?

A practitioner's assessment covers identification of:

  • Personality strengths and interests
  • Spelling age 
  • Reading age
  • Writing strengths 
  • IT knowledge e.g. typing speed, use of speech to text and editing
  • Maths strengths and needs, if applicable
  • Growth edges in all the above

You will be given a written report of your child's assessment.
