Young learners
Private English tuition including preparation for GCSEs and the 11-Plus, as well as general support with schoolwork.
Support for your child.
If your child needs help with their school studies, I provide a safe, encouraging and engaging environment for them to learn.
Some of the learners I work with do not speak English as their main language and need extra support to understand and keep up with their schoolwork and peers.
Others are native speakers of English who are preparing for their GCSEs or the 11-Plus exam. Together, we focus on skills such as
- use of language
- writing
- comprehension
- and analysis
Children have different learning styles and aptitudes, which is why I tailor my lessons to suit their needs, ensuring they feel supported at all times. I design the majority of my material because I like to create lessons that are fun and stimulating for my learners, and pitched at the right level, so that they are consistently challenged.
Student testimonial
“Before I started to take lessons with Carla I often felt quite worried about my upcoming exam – the 11-Plus. When I began studying with her, there were five months to go until my first exams and nine months until the later ones. In my first lesson I learnt a lot and I actually mean it! We progressed fast and soon enough I was at the top of my class and I felt my exams went well.
It has been almost a year since I met Carla. She is a jolly person, who understands you and is very interesting. There has never been a time when I didn’t want to have a lesson with Carla. After the first few lessons she will establish perfectly what you already know and what you need to know, then, as if by magic, she will have taught you that topic thoroughly, then the next, and the next and so on. I think that is one of my favourite things about Carla.”
