Hello. My name is Sandra. I am a native English speaker with an English grammar specialism. I provide detailed lessons on a variety of grammar topics from tenses to idioms. I am friendly and approachable. If you are unsure of your needs, drop me a message before booking a lesson. I will be able to answer any questions you may have about your learning.
Me as a Teacher
I have been a teacher for 20 years working with children and adults in a variety of settings.
For national and specialised testing, I have proven experience in teaching 11+ and SATs in year 6. This includes maths at KS2, SPAG, and reading.
During my career, I have been a successful leader in English which means that I have advanced knowledge of the UK National Curriculum.
As part of my career, I have been an education consultant, working on projects that involve closing attainment gaps; oracy and pronunciation; and critical thinking skills.
My lessons & teaching style
For my lessons, I make them individual to suit your exact needs. We will always learn in a fun and engaging way to help the learning be memorable. This will help you as a learner to be more successful. I provide all materials used during my lessons for your personal use.
