About
Having spent years in schools of various types, including private, comprehensive and also referral establishments, I decided the largest impact on a student's learning was with one-to-one tutoring when you can build personalised strategies which work for them and which optimises both their learning and confidence.
​
I initially qualified at Durham University but since then have gained a MA in Literature, again at Durham Uni, TESOL and lastly in 2018, a MSc in Psychology.
​
I have extensive examining experience, having worked for various academic exam boards. This means I can pass on this knowledge and expertise to students in preparation for their exams. Transparency is key to my approach as I believe exams should not be a mystery to students. I build strong relationships with parents, guiding and supporting them to help their youngster wherever possible.
GCSE, June 2023
'Sally was instrumental in helping my daughter approach her GSCE exams with more confidence and capability. My daughter had lost interest and motivation in both language and literature and was struggling to complete exam questions. In a very short space of time my daughter transformed; with Sallys support her mindset changed and she felt far more confident and equipped to handle her exams. A huge thank you to Sally, her style is practical and engaging and her knowledge of the subject and the exam process was invaluable.'
GCSE, June 2023
I contacted Sally for online tutoring English lessons for my daughter.
Sally was extremely helpful and professional. The lessons were amazing and she covered absolutely everything my daughter needed for her exams.
My daughter suffers with anxiety which Sally was able to help her overcome in regards to English. My daughter went from not believing in herself to being extremely confident walking into her exams.
Sally was always there offering extra support and guidance should my daughter need it. She was so supportive for my daughter throughout all the lessons, outside of lessons and during her exams. She’s even sent follow up emails since the exams are finished to check that my daughter is ok.
I cannot recommend Sally enough, she is absolutely amazing and able to cater to individual needs of her students.
Thank you again for all you did for Abbie, I do honestly believe that you are the only reason she managed to get through her exams.
Resit GCSE, Jan 2023
I worked with Sally to prepare for my GCSE English Language resit. She took the time to get to know me, asking questions to establish what my strengths and weaknesses were.
She works hard to plan each lesson and focuses attention on where you need support with activities that meet your needs.
Sally is calm and reassuring. She answers questions with no trouble. She is measured, patient and takes the time to help you process information. She carries out exercises to ensure you have understood and learned something from each lesson.
Sally is determined to help students achieve their best potential and get the best grade possible.
I am pleased to report I finally passed my GCSE English. Thanks Sally!
