Yes, I can create individual study packs for assessments throughout the school year for individual subjects and create entire study packs inclusive of all subjects a child studies for exam season. Please check the tab on my website for more information on how these are created.

Yes, this can be discussed when booking.
I accept BACs transfer within 24 hours of the lesson. You will be invoiced on the day of the lesson.
Lesson fees are due within 24 hours of the lesson, any missed fees will result in a £5/day fee until paid. No further lessons will be taught until previous fees are covered. Fees can be paid in advance or in blocks if easier.
Cancellation or missed lessons with notice less than 24 hours result in a Full lesson Fee. I do try to be as accommodating as possible ( I am well aware young people forget parents nights, school trips etc), If I can reschedule the lesson for elsewhere in the week to avoid this I will endeavour 100% to do so.
Lessons are done in 1 hour blocks for Primary. Lessons can be booked for 1 hour or more for secondary. I recommend for NAT 5/GCSE level or Higher/A- Level to do 2 hours a week, either together or split.
Message me with 24 hours notice and if I can reschedule, I will 100% endeavour to do so.
They are welcome to bring anything they feel is necessary, pens, pencils, notebooks, calculators, homework, revision sheets etc.
For Primary students, should a young person feel they need this for the first lesson or first few, however I always advise against this in the long term. Students are often more liable to admit they can't do something or how they really feel about a topic/subject without an audience. This also minimises distractions as much as possible.
I have a Bachelor of Science Degree in Psychology specialising in Paediatric Neurology. I also have a Post Graduate Diploma of Education in Teaching.
I have both an Enhanced DBS vetted through the English Police Vetting system and a PVG for both Young Children and Vulnerable Adults with the Scottish Police Vetting system.

This can be done in person, via message or in a written report, whichever method you would prefer.
Once signed up you will have access to my phone number and social media where you can contact me via Phone Call, Text, Whatsapp, Email or Messenger.
Yes, after every lesson I will write a short report online and send it to Parent/Carer, or verbalise this in person. In August of each year I create a plan for the year ahead. Reports are done in December, March and June.
Yes, this will need to be paid for in full.
At current no, lessons are 1:1 to ensure that the person being tutored gets my full attention and the lesson is adapted to suit the individual's needs.
Improvement can take time, sometimes the small wins are the best. No guarantee is provided with regards to results, but a guarantee that your child will get 100% of my attention and dedication to help them improve both inside of lessons and support outside of lessons too.
Absolutely, creating a team of support is always BEST for everyone involved. I am happy to email, chat or meet with teachers, write emails of support, create support plans in unity and share what we have done in tutoring sessions with schools/teachers.
Yes, I have a booklet of testimonials from students and parents/carers that can be sent on request. You can also view these on my website or via my social media.
