Seeking tutoring for Grammar School exam

Recommended Posts

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.

I charge ?55/hour.


Looking forward to hearing from you.

With kind regards,

Caroline

I am currently helping a number of students prepare for Common Entrance Examinations and despite what some might say it does make a difference. I am located in the Camberwell area but able to travel to yours. My rates for key stage 2 are 35 pound an hour.


Please feel free to contact me on 07807635310 if you require any further information.

    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.     
    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
