Information About Mary:

Personal Description:

I am in my fifties and live in Shoreham by Sea. I can travel to see you within the Brighton and Worthing areas.

I am an experienced and fully qualified teacher of English (Key Stage 2/3, GCSE or As/A2 level English Language /Literature), English as a Foreign Language examinations (IELTS or Cambridge First, Advanced or Proficiency). I also offer support for essay writing or study skills at university level and can help those on teacher training courses. I have previously studied Drama and Media, so I can teach these subjects for GCSE as well.

As well as doing a small amount of private tutoring, I am the director of studies at a local school and also write up critiques for creative writing for two well known colleges that take assignments by correspondence.

I also have an MA in Creative Writing and have had poems published including two books. I am able to give critiques for poetry or stories that you have written.

Teaching Experience:

I have been teaching English for 15 years. This has been both in Further Education and at private colleges. I now work in private education. I also have extensive experience of one-to one tutoring having visited many students in the Worthing to Brighton areas over the last ten years.

Teaching on Skype is relatively new but I started back in 2006, so I have gained experience of this from the onset and thoroughly enjoy meeting my students who live all around the world. On Skype I offer a free 20 minute introductory session. I am happy to spend some time discussing the concept of learning on the computer, so that you can decide if it is the right option for you.

Tutoring Approach:

I have a friendly manner and approach to tutoring and believe that a good working relationship with the student is important.
