Rates

My rates are negotioable based on the distance I would need to travel (I live in Preston) and the subjects you would like covered as this can have an impact on materials I may need to purchase and the research and preparation I may need to complete in order to teach effectively.

First Lesson Free!

I always offer a free first lesson (up to one hour) for several reasons. Firstly, you need to know that I am going to be the right fit for your child. Secondly, I need to know I can achieve your goals for your child. This requires me to assess what he or she can already do before I begin tutoring.  Thirdly it gives me a chance to begin to build a working relationship with your child without rushing straight into tutoring. Finally, it allows you, me and your child to come up with the aims and objectives for my time with you so that I can fully personalise the course of lessons I will be offering.

 

Basic Rates

One child aged 6 - 12 ......................................................... £16-£20 an hour

Small groups (up to four children) aged 6 - 12 ............. £10-£15 an hour per child

 

I also offer a discounted rate to pupils from families in difficult circumstances as I believe all children deserve an equal chance at a good education, not just those who can afford it. Please get in touch to discuss these details.

 

My Avaliability

For my availability this month, please see my availability page.

I am happy to work with children who are home-schooled or who are already in full time education.

I am avaliable during term time and the school holidays.

I am happy to travel to your home to tutor your child (within reason!) or for your child to learn in my home.

 

Your child's safety

Nothing is more important to me than ensuring your child is safe and happy. As a primary teaching student, full time teacher, the daughter of foster carers and a volunteer I have had more CRB and DBS checks than I can count (actually it's six but you get the idea). I would be very happy to share any or all of these with you prior to tutoring your child. They all say the same thing: no criminal convictions.

I have organised and taken children on trips to museums and local historical sites and completed some very complex risk assessments. If as part of my work in tutoring your child you would like me to take him or her on a trip I would be happy to complete a full risk assessment beforehand.

I will never leave your child unattended.
