Ava

My name is Ava I have tutored over 750 lessons where I specialise GCSE preparation for both English Language and English Literature. My tutor style is gentle and patient and holds the student's preferences and needs at the forefront of the sessions.

have been tutoring English for nearly two years at all age groups from Ks2 up to A-level.

I offer hour-long sessions tailored to the needs of your child, whether these are short and engaging activities or exam preparation activities for a child who is preparing for their exams. After each session, I complete a fully detailed report of our session detailing what went well, where we can improve and what we aim to cover in the upcoming sessions!

I take a pupil-first approach and try to centre learning around the child’s needs and interests as I believe this is the best way for engagement!

I am a friendly and approachable tutor who is encouraging and adaptable to differing knowledge and skill levels. I believe this helps me greatly in getting to know the student's needs and making the best use of our time together!

I also tutor physical education at GCSE and A level where I am particularly knowledgeable as I have recently completed a degree in sports and exercise sciences at Durham.

I have also had experience working with SEN students where I have worked with ADHD and dyslexia and have some excellent resources which suit the differing needs of different individuals.
