Contact Barbara

Hello. I am a fully qualified professional tutor and have been tutoring for over 20 years. I have excellent references. I am patient and caring. I give my students motivation and confidence when often they don't have this. My aim is that every student can achieve without fear or unnecessary pressures.

Tutoring experience

Have hosted foreign students in my home for a number of years. Now mainly doing online tuition. Have qualifications for primary and secondary curriculum. Great success rates with English GCSE for language and literature.
Teach English as a foreign language too. Have taught English abroad. Am bi lingual in German and fairly good with Polish due to my parental background.

Approach to tutoring

I'm very student centred. The focus is to help the student by using a bespoke approach. The tuition is tailored to meet the students needs. The student needs to feel secure and motivated and supported. Any issues are always addressed and sorted out immediately from the onset
Patience understanding and empathy are key in my tuition.
