Whatever you or your child's stage, ability, or aims, I will work with you: each lesson is bespoke to the student's needs. I am happy to deliver just a handful of focused lessons on a particular topic, e.g. essay writing skills, or work on a longer-term basis to provide additional support outside of the classroom.
