A bit about Mel R

I have been a year 6 teacher for the last 8 years and I thoroughly enjoy teaching both Maths and English. I am incredibly familiar with the SATs tests and I am happy to facilitate your child's learning journey to ensure they achieve their optimum grades. I specialise in teaching primary school English, Grammar and Maths. I teach interactive sessions that involve demonstration, listening, participating and rehearsal. I am happy to adapt my teaching style to cater to your child's learning style. I have been tutoring for 8 years. I am thorough and I pride myself on the student fully grasping the concept. I am relentless and I will try several different methods until the student has a profound, independent understanding of the concept. I enjoy tailoring my lessons to the learning style of the student. I enjoy demonstrating a method and then observing a student applying the method independently. It is incredibly rewarding to observe the development of my students. A combination of perseverance, practice, fun and hard work. Students typically enjoy the fact that I provide multiple opportunities through a variety of strategies for them to understand a concept. I have taught classes where the vast majority of students have achieved the highest possible grade across all three core subjects. I have a PGCE in Primary Education I thoroughly enjoyed my learning experience in school and I wanted to replicate that for others. Reading, music and football. I have experience teaching year 6 (10 and 11 year olds).
