English Tuition in East Grinstead

Helping Young Minds to Grow and Develop

I have many years’ experience in teaching using several different methods. As with my maths tuition, my work is predominantly based in the Montessori method and style of teaching which involves use of real materials to convey a concept and then moving to learning in the abstract once a child has understood this concept.

 

Depending on what needs to be taught, your child’s individualised learning programme may consist of a combination of the following activities:

Handwriting

Formation of letters, print and cursive script.

Spellings

Working on basic phonetic words and ‘puzzle’ words such as ‘the’, ‘said’ and ‘one’ through to complicated words and word lists assigned to each year group.

Reading

Working on early letter recognition and phonetic reading through to complicated words and understanding patterns such as ‘kn’ sounding as ‘n’.

Story writing

Work on how to structure a story and how to build it for example, using adjectives and adverbs. This area can also cover the difference between writing fiction and non-fiction and using direct and indirect speech.

Grammar and punctuation

Work on areas from early capital letters and full stops through to commas, speech marks and colons. I also for example, can work with understanding and being able to use nouns, verbs, and adjectives as well as being able to understand and use different tenses.

Over 25 Years of Experience

All children are given a FREE initial assessment to determine what year level they’re currently working at and to identify any learning gaps.

Parents/guardians or carers are kept fully briefed as to the outcome of each lesson, and are involved in the input of the on-going lessons. I will frequently work out a projection of what we would like to achieve over the time that I am working with the child and then share this with the parents/guardians or carers and the child involved.

If you think your child needs help TRUST YOUR INTUITION

I would like to write a few lines to try to express my gratitude for all that Lisa did for my family and me. She is such a dedicated manager, so passionate about her career and so much caring about children, parents and staffs. She was always welcome to listen to parents and staffs if there was any question or any doubt about any thing. And of course her professional advices and her fundamental role in my children’s early year development always have been gratefully appreciated. Thank you so much for being so kind. All our best wishes to you and your future.
