I am also a paediatric first aider (valid until February 2026) and a qualified Designated Safeguarding Lead and have an enhanced DBS check.

Where do you hold your tutoring lessons?

I prefer to hold the lessons at my home in Row Town, Addlestone, but depending on your location, and my availability, I will also come to your home.

Which areas do you offer tutoring in?

Addlestone, Ottershaw, Chertsey, Weybridge, West Byfleet, Virginia Water, Egham, Woking, Cobham, Walton-on-Thames, Hersham and surrounding areas.
Other areas within North Surrey are also considered depending on lesson times requested and my availability.

£20 for a 30-minute lesson

This cost includes my planning time, which is completed separately.

Price on request for group lessons (up to 4 children of a similar age).

How do I pay for the lessons?

I accept payment via bank transfer within 24 hours of each lesson or cash in person after the lesson. Bank transfers must have cleared before the next lesson takes place. You are also welcome to pay for 4 weeks of lessons at a time, in advance.

What availability do you have for tutoring lessons?

I offer tutoring lessons on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings with lessons available from 4:15pm at my home.

For lessons at your home, times may need to vary slightly but are generally from 4.30pm, depending on your location.

Please get in touch to find out more!

What happens if I, or you, need to cancel a lesson?

Cancellations may occur for various reasons.

There are no charges for cancelling a booked lesson with at least 24 hours notice. If you've prepaid, your lesson will simply be rescheduled.

Cancelling within 24 hours will incur a £5 fee.

If your child fails to show for their lesson, without prior notice, then the full lesson payment will be required before another lesson takes place.

In the event that I need to cancel a lesson, I'll endeavor to inform you with at least 24 hours notice. If I'm unable to do so, £5 will be deducted from your next lesson or block of lessons.

How do you personalise tutoring lessons for each child?

I assess each child's learning style and needs to tailor the tutoring approach accordingly. Lessons are planned according to these assessments and my planning is adapted after each lesson to suit your child. If you have a recent school report I can also work from any targets your child's teacher may have set.

How do you help to settle the children you tutor and where will the lessons be held?

If your child's tutoring lesson is at my home you are welcome to stay with them for the first couple of lessons or until they are settled.

Lessons at my home will either take place in my dining room, which is down two steps and is open plan with the lounge area, or in my office just off this room.

You are welcome to stay in the lounge area, or relax in the garden in subsequent lessons, or drop your child off and come back at the end of the lesson.

If I am coming to your home then I request a quiet area to work in with a table and chairs (depending on age of child) and a bit of space, if needed, for practical work.
