One-to-one tutoring can be one of the most powerfully transformative ways you can support your child’s learning.

A great tutor will combine building genuine, trusting relationships with making sure they truly understand each child’s strengths and weaknesses so that a bespoke learning plan that meets their needs can be devised.

This level of personalised learning support for your child can be achieved best with one-to-one tutoring because I can give them my full attention and adapt activities responsively.

As well as tutoring for specific subjects (maths, English and 11+ prep) I can tailor support to focus on specific topics, skills or needs. I am passionate about accessible, inclusive learning opportunities for all and have considerable experience supporting specific learning needs.

Testimonials

We are really pleased to have found Gemma to support our 10 yr old daughter with her learning after a long period out of school through ill health - she looked forward to the sessions and enjoyed working with Gemma. We found her to be professional and empathetic; sessions were well planned and fun, and we appreciated the weekly feedback. Happy to recommend.

- Brian and Jane

I just wanted to say on behalf of all of us how grateful we are for your input with E over the last year. She has improved massively under your guidance.

- Daniel

Our daughter loves her lessons with Gemma and we have certainly noticed her progression.

- Ian

We have just received some amazing post this morning. P has passed the required standard. The overall required standard for BSG was 299 & for Parkstone was 277. P's standardised score was 309 (English 101, Maths 104, Verbal 104). P is really proud of herself and has a big smile. We all say a very big thank you for all the help & support you have given P over the past year.

Gemma has been working with our 10YO ahead of her 11 plus. Our daughter struggles with holding her attention on tasks and is a little dyspraxic. This detracts from her innate intelligence when learning in a traditional sense. Gemma has devised innovative, interesting and often novel ways to engage her in learning the more difficult subject areas, and irrespective of outcome at the 11+ I'm confident that we chose the best way to maximize her potential.

- Jon

Gemma has been working with my son for nearly a year and we have found her excellent. My son really enjoys his hour with her and he is making excellent progress in his confidence and ability. I would definitely recommend her.

- Jenefer

I have had the pleasure of working previously with Gemma. She is a fantastic teacher with an incredible sense of focus and organisation. She has a good understanding of the curriculum throughout the primary age-range and can use this to adapt to the needs of the children under her tuition. It is clear how creativity as well as encouragement impacts on her teaching strategies and with this in mind, the children are inspired and motivated to learn under her guidance.

- Odette

Gemma is an incredibly creative practitioner. Her teaching is tailored to each child, and the relationships she fosters with young people allows them to progress at the highest of rates. Teaching is much more than just a job for Gemma; she derives so much joy from watching them blossom and reach their full potential

- Sophi

As a teacher Gemma is very skilled at connecting with pupils on a 1:1 basis and identifying and providing for their individual learning needs very well.
