Seeking tutoring for Grammar School exam

[charliep]

Hello

I'm looking for someone to tutor my son, who will sit the Grammar School exam for schools in Gloucestershire next March. I think this exam differs from the Grammar School tests in South London/Kent - but we may well be in East Dulwich for the next few months so need to get going on tutoring now!

Do let me know if you/anyone you know might be suitable.

Many thanks

Charlotte

This might not be helpful but, I watched the BBC Grammar school documentary recently and the general consensus was that

extra tuition was a complete waste of money. You've either got it or you haven't. Just get some mock papers and work through those.

Hi Charlotte,

As a professional tutor, I work independently and as an employee of prestigious local tutoring agencies.

With a passion for education and teaching, I am enthusiastic and committed to my students and their needs so they can indeed succeed in a confident and friendly learning environment.

In order to successfully prepare children for 11+ entrance exams, I provide:

- One-to-one focus to address your child's unique ways to learn so he/she can attain the expected level of attainment.

- Thorough knowledge of the requirements for each specific selective test.

- Cements the child's knowledge acquired at school, as well as covers subjects and exam techniques not taught in school by the end of Year 5, thus filling-in the possible gaps in his/her knowledge.

Please find some references:

"Caroline is a kind, warm and inspiring tutor. My 10 year old daughter always looked forward to her sessions with Caroline and she became very well prepared for her 11+ exams."

"We were very happy indeed with Caroline - Imogen and Bailey both got offers from all schools applied for, and Bailey has two academic scholarships and a third scholarship interview, so they have done wonderfully - thank you!"

"When tutoring my son Theo, Caroline was really committed and was brilliant for keeping him motivated. They had a really nice relationship. She has an amazing ability to make the lessons fun and was always coming up with inventive ways of teaching. I?ve just asked my son if he wanted to add anything and he says ?She knew me really well.?"

"I have known Caroline around four years and she has taught two of my four children.

In terms of teaching content, I have found her to be a very well-prepared and diligent teacher, with creative ideas about how to engage the children, taking into account differing needs. She is very personable and popular with the children - they have always very much looked forward to seeing her. On the practical side, she is organised, punctual and communicative."

My contact details are: Dr Caroline Perret - [email protected] - Tel. 0208 291 93 43 / 0749 7767 661.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

With kind regards,

Caroline
