One to One Sessions
For 11+, pre-test and 13+ English exams, I offer one-to-one lessons online to children who would enjoy a more individual approach. One-to-one tuition is brilliant for children who may lack confidence or who prefer a more focused way of learning.
NEW! One-to-Two and One-to-Three sessions for friends who are missing each other and would like to learn together!
