“I’m a supportive, encouraging and positive tutor who engages closely with parents and teachers to ensure that my tuition dovetails effectively with the work the student is doing at school, and to ensure that I can get as much information about the student as possible. I make sure I’m as familiar with exam rubric and technique as I am the academic content.”
